Haiti Fieldwork Report
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) contracted Oxford Policy Management and the University of East Anglia to conduct Strategic Research into National and Local Capacity Building for Disaster Risk Management. GOAL and the French and Spanish IRC in Haiti were part of the study. The objectives were to research the following overarching issues of concern: 1. How is capacity for DRM generated most effectively at both national and local levels? 2. What factors enable or constrain the building of national and local capacity for DRM? 3. How and why does this vary across different environments? 4. How is the international community currently approaching the task of building national and local capacities for DRM? 5. How can we identify and measure improving capacity for DRM?
