Learning about Transition Programming in Aceh and Nias - Drivers and Inhibitors of Transition from Emergency to Recovery and Development in Oxfam International's Aceh and Nias Programme

One of the biggest challenges faced by such a massive programme was in relation to its efforts
to shift out of emergency and into recovery and development programming. Transition, and
particularly the middle ground of recovery work, is an enduring challenge for Oxfam globally
and indeed for the entire sector. For this reason, the Aceh-Nias team commissioned a
learning review “to assist the wider organisation to learn from the process of transition
programming in the Aceh and Nias programme.” The objective is “to explore and learn about
what drives and what inhibits organisational transition down the continuum from emergency to
recovery to long term development”.
