 This report summarizes the findings of a Honduras country case study, which is part of a ProVention Consortium initiative aimed at learning lessons from recovery efforts following major natural disasters. The other four country case studies – on Bangladesh, India, Mozambique, and Turkey – are also being issued as stand-alone reports. A synthesis report summarizing the findings of the review, and drawing out similarities and differences between the different experiences of recovery, is also being published. The ProVention Consortium is an international network of public, private, non-governmental, and academic organizations dedicated to reducing the impacts of disasters in developing countries. The activity was managed by the World Bank, and benefited from the guidance and conceptual inputs of a number of ProVention partners.
