What do prevention and What do prevention and mitigation provide, both mitigation provide, both positive and negative?positive and negative?
• With prevention and mitigation you With prevention and mitigation you save:save:– Lives (by maintaining services and the Lives (by maintaining services and the
resilience of infrastructure)resilience of infrastructure)– Investment capacity (you do not lose the Investment capacity (you do not lose the
opportunity cost of new investment which opportunity cost of new investment which must be channeled to reconstruction)must be channeled to reconstruction)

– Prevention and mitigation may increase resources needed Prevention and mitigation may increase resources needed in project’s design and implementation, thus requiring in project’s design and implementation, thus requiring further indebtedness in already heavily indebted countries.further indebtedness in already heavily indebted countries.
– Prevention and mitigation provide medium to long term Prevention and mitigation provide medium to long term hard to estimate benefits while resources allocated to these hard to estimate benefits while resources allocated to these will either compete with other perceived needs or politically will either compete with other perceived needs or politically urgent and prioritary investments, and / or will be funded by urgent and prioritary investments, and / or will be funded by credits that have to be repaid in the short to medium term.credits that have to be repaid in the short to medium term.
• Appropriate Appropriate cost-benefit or cost-cost-benefit or cost-effectivenesseffectiveness in prevention and mitigation in prevention and mitigation are not self-evident, thus opportunity cost are not self-evident, thus opportunity cost in these is often not as politically or in these is often not as politically or financially attractive as other investments financially attractive as other investments that yield more visible gains.that yield more visible gains.

post conflict analysis / interventionspost conflict analysis / interventionsPREVENTION / MITIGATION POST DISASTERS POST CONFLICT (CRISIS)
Anticipate disaster or crisis occurrence and undertake strategy, programmes, policies and instruments to minimize impact or damage
Response to reconstruction needs, which should be “owned” by the victims and lead to mitigation, prevention and disaster reduction (in the continuum or cycle of prevention- reduced destruction-less costly reconstruction-proactive mitigation) both in terms
Respond to restoring non-conflict situation which allows for building social, human and economic capital: establishing a “normal” functioning society that sets goals, priorities and development paradigm in accordance with societal needs, culture and prior
Interactive negotiation of stakeholders and institutions leads to intervention stemming from local, community, socially adopted priorities
Move from reactive to proactive interventions, leading to the local ownership of disasters’ mitigation and reduction.
Move from direct intervention to enabling and empowering local population to manage its own development process through consensus-building institutional and political commonly agreed.
The development paradigm is at stake and may be subject to change.
As in post-conflict the development paradigm is at stake and may be subject to change.
The development paradigm is at stake and may be subject to change.
Foreign intervention is conditional to natonal / local /community / socially agreed strategies
Foreign intervention is seen as supplementary to national / local / community / socially agreed strategy for reconstruction-mitigation
Foreign intervention is seen as crucial first phase in generating post conflict minimal consensus and functioning institutions and policy formulation processes.
PROBLEMS AND PROBLEMS AND CHALLENGESCHALLENGES
• Promote a mitigation culture and consider risk Promote a mitigation culture and consider risk management and reduction as a productive and management and reduction as a productive and profitable investmentprofitable investment
• Understanding that “normalcy” implies not Understanding that “normalcy” implies not reproducing pre-existing vulnerability but reproducing pre-existing vulnerability but increasing resilienceincreasing resilience
• Acknowledgement of vulnerability implies Acknowledgement of vulnerability implies appropriation of risk reductionappropriation of risk reduction
• Prevention and mitigation are specific to local, Prevention and mitigation are specific to local, cultural and social conditionscultural and social conditions
• Incorporation of prevention and mitigation into the Incorporation of prevention and mitigation into the culture does not imply imposition by technicians culture does not imply imposition by technicians or politicians but negotiation with stakeholdersor politicians but negotiation with stakeholders
