Dear Colleagues,
At the request of the IASC the ER Cluster is preparing a position paper on Early Recovery. I am addressing in this message the Cluster Coordinators with copy to the Focal Points and kindly bear with me if I am causing confusion.
Although I could provide many examples based on the exhaustive list of Early Recovery activities as provided in the CWGER Guidance Note (web link see below), I think it would be preferable if based on your experience with the floods, you could provide a short summary of the activities within your cluster that you would consider directly relate to Early Recovery programming. The reason I am requesting this is because we know that many of the clusters are doing ER related activities, but these elements are not very visible. I reiterate, the list does not have to be detailed. A short note will suffice.
At the same time this could be a good opportunity to list you Early Recovery concerns which are not sufficiently addressed or explicit.
Grateful if you send before Monday noon so I can prepare note for the regular Early Recovery Cluster afternoon meeting.
Warm regards, Richard
Early Recovery Cluster Coordinator
