A ripple in development? Document review

Annotated bibliography prepared for the joint follow-up evaluation of the links between relief, rehabilitation and development (LRRD) in responses to the Indian Ocean tsunami'This annotated bibliography and document review is part of a follow-up evaluation of previous studies on linkages between immediate relief, rehabilitation (or reconstruction) and development (LRRD) related to the response to the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004. The fi rst LRRD evaluation was carried as part of the Tsunami Evaluation Coalition (TEC) set of evaluations in 2005-06. The purpose of the document review is twofold: one is to summarise current knowledge about the issue of LRRD in the tsunami context and by this prepare for subsequent fi eld based research for the LRRD 2 evaluation in late 2008; the other is to facilitate documentary search for other, future studies of the tsunami related reconstruction interventions and their outcomes and impact.
