Abstract

This report emerges from the initiative of the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) and was produced by the Post-war Reconstruction and Development Unit (PRDU) at the University of York. Having noted the dearth of information available, even among key stakeholders, regarding the more than US$1 billion housing compensation process, NRC determined to commission a study of its content and impact. Such an inquiry logically led to questions of emergency preparedness and structural mitigation, as troubling deficits in the quality of reconstructed housing became apparent. Furthermore, question pertaining to southern Lebanon's ability to withstand further conflict or a major earthquake emerged.
