Key Challenges:

• New experience – lack perspective

• Huge Scale -High level of diversity

• Accessibility and Remoteness

• Continuously evolving situation

• NRA – Independent but NOT Autonomous

• High turn-over of prononnel

• Work Environment – multi-stakeholders, multi-sectoral, multi-dimensional

• Limited Financial Freedom – Absence of Recovery Fund

• Learning by Doing

• High Aspirations and Expectations

• Some lapses

• Limited Exposure and relevant Capacity of key agencies

• Political transformation

Way Forward

• Continue efforts to make the recovery resilient

• Remain open for frequent adjustments and use of new methods and tools

• Use Local Government – Principal agent in the field

• Priority to compliance – one engineer in each ward

• Obvious focus on implementation

• Improve field and center connect
