Lesson
Even if funds were available, delays in the implementation of the CRRP were inevitable because existing government policies obstructed smooth implementation of the CRRP programs, projects, and activities (PPAs). Examples of such policies are procurement laws and land use policies. Some policies may have to be reviewed to meet post- disaster recovery related needs, and other mechanisms established to speed up post-disaster public procurement.
