Relief and recovery efforts after the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami in South East Asia are burdened by extreme competitiveness and lack of collective action, SEI researchers say.
The recovery in countries severely affected by the tsunami such as Sri Lanka and Indonesia provides an important opportunity for building societies that are more equitable, sustainable and resilient to environmental risks. However, a lack of collective action amongst agents delivering humanitarian and livelihood support, governments, and those directly affected by the tsunami, represents a considerable obstacle in this process.
