Voice Out Loud Issue 4: Linking Relief, Rehabilitation and Development (LRRD)

Many member organisations of the VOICE network share the view that emergency interventions need to be designed in the light of future sustainable recovery and development, and the vast majority of them are engaged simultaneously in relief, rehabilitation and development activities. In this edition of VOICE OUT LOUD, they share their views on LRRD and their experience in putting this complex concept into practise. Different aspects of LRRD are being touched upon, such as food aid, education, the role of the local communities, disaster risk reduction, and exit strategies.
