The purpose of strategic planning objectives is

• to express the intended outcome for the population affected by the disaster as well as host populations, taking into account their livelihoods, the need for communal service infrastructure, and ensuring support to the vulnerable

• to bring stakeholders together to agree on the main points of the post-disaster situation and collective objectives

All stakeholders need to work together on continuous assessment, monitoring and evaluation. Coordination and cooperation in this process will:

• increase the relevance and accuracy of criteria and methods

• maximise the use of the available capacity of stakeholders

• broaden the acceptance among stakeholders of the results

• form a basis for coordination and cooperation between stakeholders, including the affected population


The purpose of scenarios is to develop a plan based on assumptions made about future events. Scenarios must be developed of alternative future events in order to identify potential paths towards the planning objectives

Next steps

Scenarios are altered and updated as a result of the assessment, monitoring and evaluation processes. Quantifiable indicators need to be elaborated to allow:

• identification of which scenario is occurring

• when a move from one to another is taking place


The purpose of critical path analysis is to identify and describe the main barriers and opportunities facing the response so that the required measures can be taken to achieve the strategic planning objectives

Each barrier or opportunity identified among all relevant stakeholders requires the following:

• discussion of its likely impacts

• indicators - is the situation improving or worsening?

• what has been done about it?

• what can be done about it?

The purpose of a legal plan is to achieve a comprehensive and integrated legal framework, integrating national and local laws, that supports transitional settlement and reconstruction operations, protecting the affected population and their hosts

The legal framework supports:

i. survival

ii. emergency coordination

iii. building safety through building codes

iv. land rights and use, through rental laws, property restitution, state requisitions, land registers and cadasters

v. beneficiary selection, including definitions of vulnerability

The purpose of a coordination plan is to:

• ensure that all the coordination mechanisms and levels of coordination are comprehensive, and are themselves coordinated

• serve all stakeholders in supporting the strategic planning objectives

• ensure that agreement is reached on focal points and their responsibilities, and to communicate this

information, with contact details

Agreeing on effective operational coordination mechanisms enables all stakeholders to communicate with each other, including formal and informal coordination mechanisms of communities, governments, and humanitarian actors

The implementation plan involves a continuous process of:

• mapping where the affected population is located

• mapping where the response capacity is, and its scale

• ensuring that geographical and social coverage is complete

• drafting and redrafting tables, schedules of works or Gantt charts


The purpose of a handover plan is to ensure that:

• as each coordination mechanism changes phase and responsibility throughout the operation, entire areas of responsibility are handed over

• assistance is provided to the affected population through each phase of response up to recovery

Various handovers will occur throughout the response, both between and within stakeholder groups, including:

• coordinators within the various coordination mechanisms

• individuals within organisations
