Post-Tsunami Recovery: Lessons from Case Study 1. Sri Lanka
This policy brief provides key lessons learned from the tsunami that hit Sri Lanka on 26 December 2004. The examination of the impact of the tsunami, which is the basis of this report, was finalized after a December 2005 conference in Colombo with stakeholders including government officials.
It also includes an executive summary that attempts to take stock of the reconstruction and recovery activities undertaken so far, make policy recommendations, and identify challenges ahead.
This is a condensed version of Research Paper #71, "Post-Tsunami Recovery: Issues and Challenges in Sri Lanka," published in June 2006. ADBI has prepared an Indonesian version of this brief to facilitate information sharing about post-tsunami recovery issues between Sri Lanka and Indonesia.
To extend this work, ADBI is supporting parallel studies on post-tsunami recovery efforts in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and Thailand. Future case studies will be issued.
