What's New... Guidance note on early recovery The Inter-Agency Standing Committee Cluster Working Group on Early Recovery (CWGER) was established in 2005. UNDP is the lead agency for this group of 22 global humanitarian and development partners. The CWGER aims to improve the global effort to plan and implement early recovery interventions by developing tools, strengthening coordination and supporting the implementation of early recovery programmes. To date, Early Recovery Clusters have been set up in 15 major emergencies, including Pakistan post the 2005 earthquake, the Philippines post the 2006 typhoon, and Kenya post 2007 violence triggered by the December elections. In response to calls for greater clarity on what early recovery means and how to undertake early recovery activities effectively, the CWGER has produced a Guidance Note on Early Recovery in cooperation with the UN Development Group-Executive Committee on Humanitarian Affairs Working Group on Transition. The Guidance Note is designed primarily for UN colleagues and partners working at the country level. It defines early recovery, establishes guiding principles for interventions, and guides readers through elements of the early recovery process including: coordination, needs assessment, strategic planning, programming, monitoring and evaluation, and resource mobilization. In 2008, UNDP will work on a toolkit to complement the Guidance Note. Aimed at an inter-agency audience of field practitioners, the toolkit will contain guidance and templates for those who require more in-depth assistance. In parallel, UNDP will facilitate a lessons learned exercise to identify experiences in implementing early recovery using the cluster approach.
