TS12: World Reconstruction Conference Thematic Session 12: Reviving of Livelihoods and Local Economy

Description

Disasters have a devastating impact on livelihoods, either completely destroying or damaging assets that are critical for economic activity and employment. The challenge of designing and implementing livelihood support programmes includes choosing the appropriate approach, knowing who to target and how, and ensuring implementation capacity. This session will argue the importance of having a well-crafted livelihoods strategy in the early recovery and reconstruction phase. It will explore various approaches used to rebuild assets, to generate income and employment, as well as effective ways to protect the most vulnerable.
