Stimulating resilience for recovery: building adaptive resilience in emergency WASH response in Haiti, the Philippines and Lebanon

Recovery deficits are often witnessed within disaster-affected societies following post-disaster interventions. Humanitarian operations have struggled to find coherence between relief and recovery activities, which has resulted in a perceived operational ‘gap’ between relief, recovery and developmen...
