Technical guide for debris management: The Haitian experience 2010-2012

In terms of recovery and reconstruction, the safe return of people to their neighborhoods of origin, the rehabilitation of damaged buildings,
the resumption of daily life and private sector development are at the heart of UNDP’s approach. In this context, debris management became
a first step towards achieving these goals and laying the foundations for sustainable development.

The design and planning of a debris management programme should consider this approach as well as the needs, interests, resources,
mandates and implementation capacities in order to reduce response costs and programme formulation time, promote coordination efforts
and clarify the responsibilities, procedures and resources required.

Planning is an ongoing stage of the programme that makes it possible to review and readjust the intervention in function of the rapid changes that characterize a post-crisis context.
