Understanding Intervention Models
Unlock Audio Lesson
Today, we're discussing the three main models of post-disaster interventions: owner-driven, NGO-driven, and community partnership approaches. Can anyone tell me what they think an owner-driven approach might involve?
I think it means that the affected people are responsible for rebuilding their own homes?
Exactly, good point! Owner-driven approaches empower individuals to utilize financial support to rebuild. Now, what about the NGO-driven approach?
Is that when NGOs take charge of the rebuilding?
Yes, but there are two types: product-centric and people-centric. The product-centric focuses on delivering specific goods, while the people-centric builds collaboration. Can anyone think of a benefit to community partnerships?
It could lead to stronger local involvement and customize the response based on community needs.
Exactly! Collaboration can lead to more effective recovery. In summary, understanding these models helps us appreciate how different strategies cater to the needs of affected communities.
Financial Aid and Compensation
Unlock Audio Lesson
Let's look at the financial assistance for those impacted by the disaster in Gujarat. Why do you think offering Rs. 1 lakh to the next of kin is crucial?
It helps families cope with the sudden loss and start rebuilding their lives.
Correct! Additionally, what about the provision of household kits? How could that assist families?
It would provide immediate help to meet basic needs, like food and hygiene.
Exactly! These measures aim to address immediate needs and support family stability during recovery.
Housing Reconstruction Efforts
Unlock Audio Lesson
When we explore reconstruction, we see several statistics from Kutch. What stand-out figures do you remember?
I remember over 1 lakh houses were destroyed and 135,000 were reconstructed!
That’s impressive recall! Can anyone tell me the difference in reconstruction types?
A large portion was owner-driven, right? Nearly 96%?
That's right! Most self-constructed houses were on-site, with only a small percentage being relocated. Why do you think this matters?
Keeping houses in the same place helps maintain community ties and stability.
Well said! Understanding these housing efforts highlights ways to foster community strength post-disaster.
Satisfaction and Community Involvement
Unlock Audio Lesson
Now, let’s discuss the satisfaction levels from the Abhiyan survey. What do you find interesting about the satisfaction rates of NGO-built versus owner-driven houses?
Owner-driven houses had a higher satisfaction rate, 91% compared to 80% for NGO-built.
Great observation! What might explain this difference?
It could be because they had more control over their homes in the owner-driven approach.
Exactly! This highlights the importance of involving communities in their recovery processes.

Quick Overview
Standard
The section outlines three main intervention models for post-disaster recovery: owner-driven, NGO-driven, and community partnerships. It highlights the specific financial assistance provided to families affected by disasters, details the housing reconstruction efforts in Gujarat, and examines different approaches to post-disaster recovery, including the effectiveness and satisfaction of the various housing solutions offered.
Detailed
Post-Disaster Interventions
In this section, we delve into the models of post-disaster interventions that aim to support communities in rebuilding and recovery. The main approaches include:
- Owner-Driven Approach: This model allows individuals to finance their own recovery efforts. Financial aid is directed towards the affected individuals, empowering them to undertake reconstruction.
- NGO-Driven Approaches: These are divided into two types:
- Product-Centric Approach: Driven primarily by NGOs, focusing on delivering specific goods or services.
- People-Centric Approach: Emphasizing collaboration between NGOs and the affected communities, fostering partnership.
The implementation of these approaches is illustrated by the case study of Gujarat following a significant disaster. Key financial figures noted include:
- Compensation of Rs. 1 lakh to the families of deceased victims.
- Household kits worth Rs. 1,250 distributed per family.
- Specific compensation for livestock losses (e.g., Rs. 2,500 for cows).
In terms of housing reconstruction, significant statistics from Kutch demonstrate:
- Over 1 lakh houses were destroyed, with about 135,000 houses reconstructed through various means.
- 96% of these were through owner-driven methods, while others were NGO-constructed.
The outcomes of these interventions are evaluated through a satisfaction survey indicating that 80% of beneficiaries were satisfied with NGO-built houses, while 91% were satisfied with owner-driven constructions. This section emphasizes the importance of context-specific strategies in post-disaster recovery and the value of community involvement.

They can also contribute their money, this is what we call owner-driven and also there is the kind of NGO or contractor driven approach that can be 2 types; one is product-centric approach and people-centric approach. This product-centric approach where it is done by the NGO itself, it is mainly NGO driven or agency driven. People's-centric approach is more like a collaboration of partnership between people and the private agencies or NGOs.
Detailed Explanation
In post-disaster interventions, there are different approaches to rebuilding and aiding affected communities. The owner-driven approach allows individuals to contribute their own money towards their recovery. This means that affected individuals have control over how their resources are used in the rebuilding process.
On the other hand, NGO-driven interventions generally fall into two categories: product-centric and people-centric. A product-centric approach is when NGOs focus on providing specific goods or services directly, such as building materials or finished shelters, largely driven by the agency itself. Meanwhile, a people-centric approach emphasizes collaboration between the community and NGOs or private agencies, ensuring that the needs and preferences of the affected individuals are considered in the recovery strategy.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine you are part of a community that was affected by a flood. If you are given money to help rebuild your home, you might decide to hire a local contractor, which reflects the owner-driven approach. Alternatively, if an NGO comes in with tents and supplies and builds houses without consulting the community, that is the product-centric approach. If the NGO instead works alongside the community to decide how to rebuild based on what people need, that would be the people-centric approach.

In Gujarat, post-disaster interventions; Rs.1 lakh was made to the next of kin of each of the deceased person, Rs.1250 rupees per family was given as the household kits to be provided and in case of cattle death, different amounts of money were given like for goat 150, for bull 750 rupees, for cow 2500 like that.
Detailed Explanation
In the aftermath of a disaster in Gujarat, specific financial assistance was provided to families affected by the tragedy. Immediate support included a significant amount—Rs.1 lakh—to the bereaved families of those who passed away due to the disaster. Additionally, each family received Rs.1250 to help with basic necessities through household kits. For families who lost livestock, compensation was calculated based on the type of animal, with set amounts for goats, bulls, and cows being provided. Such targeted financial assistance was vital for the recovery of families and to help restore their livelihoods.
Examples & Analogies
Think of a situation where a severe storm has damaged a community. To help the families who lost loved ones, the government provides financial aid to ensure they can cover funeral costs and other expenses. Similarly, families that have lost their pets, like goats or cows, receive money to help them recover, which is like receiving insurance payments to replace lost property.

The initial recovery plan aimed for NGOs to reconstruct around 50,000 of these homes. By 2003, there were over 6,000 homes under construction, while nearly 40,000 homes had been completed by that time. This illustrates the scale of reconstruction efforts and the challenges faced in providing adequate housing for the affected population.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine a town that has been heavily damaged after an earthquake. A local NGO pledges to rebuild 50 homes for families who lost their houses. As time passes, they report that they've completed building nearly 40 of them, with several more in progress, demonstrating the community's slow but steady effort to recover and restore their homes.

Detailed Explanation
The reconstruction landscape following the disaster included a significant number of self-construction projects, with approximately 96,000 houses being owner-driven. In total, around 135,000 houses were constructed by that time. Among NGO-driven constructions, 56% of them were in-situ, meaning they were built on the same site as the original homes, while a considerable portion involved relocating houses. On the contrary, the majority of owner-driven constructions were also in-situ, indicating that people preferred to rebuild on their original land rather than move to new locations.
Examples & Analogies
Consider a scenario where families are given the choice to rebuild their homes. Many may choose to rebuild where their original houses stood because they have strong emotional ties and established community relationships. It's similar to a person wanting to rebuild their favorite childhood treehouse in the same tree rather than finding another tree.

Total 102 NGOs; 100 NGOs were involved working on reconstructions, 65 of them have been a part of the 'public-private partnership' program and 37 out of them is working independently without much collaborations with the local people. 82% of work of the total housing requirement by 2003 were reported as complete, 96,000 or little more than that was owner-driven or self-construction house under the category of G4 and G5 damaged category, and another 31,000 was NGO reconstructed houses.
Detailed Explanation
A total of 102 NGOs took part in the reconstruction efforts in Kutch, with 100 actively involved. Out of these, 65 NGOs participated in a public-private partnership program, which signifies a collaborative effort between governmental entities and private organisations to address housing needs. Meanwhile, 37 NGOs operated independently, which suggests a diverse range of strategies for recovery.
By 2003, a significant 82% of the housing needed post-disaster was reported as completed, demonstrating a successful collective response. The majority of these constructed homes were self-driven by the owners themselves, while several were reconstructed by NGOs, showing a blend of community development and external assistance.
Examples & Analogies
Think of a neighborhood banding together after a disaster, with the help of various charities. Some families choose to rebuild with support from government programs and NGOs, while others manage to gather their own resources independently. Together, they restore the community by helping each other and sharing the responsibilities of rebuilding.

What was the level of satisfaction according to the Abhiyan 2003 survey, an NGO called Abhiyan that NGO 80% people that those buildings were constructed by NGO 80% were satisfied and in case of owner-driven, 91% were satisfied.
Detailed Explanation
According to the 2003 survey conducted by the NGO Abhiyan, there was a significant difference in satisfaction levels regarding the housing provided post-disaster. Among those who received homes constructed by NGOs, 80% expressed satisfaction with their new dwellings. In contrast, an even higher percentage, 91%, of those who rebuilt their homes through the owner-driven approach reported being satisfied. This disparity may reflect the sense of ownership and personal involvement that comes with self-construction.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine you buy a ready-made soup at a store versus making one from scratch with your own favorite ingredients. You might feel more satisfied with the homemade version because you had a say in every ingredient added, similar to how individuals feel about their homes when they are involved in the construction process.

Study area; we conducted surveys in 3 areas, I would like to show different approaches and models and their case studies. One is NGO agency driven approach in Hajapar, that is 52 kilometers south from Bhuj, area is of the village is around 4 square kilometers in total including the agricultural land, population is 720, household size is 6.5, literacy was 35%, their main occupation is animal husbandry and agriculture.
Detailed Explanation
The study included surveys from three various areas to illustrate different reconstruction approaches. One specific focus was Hajapar, a village located 52 kilometers south of Bhuj. The village spans around 4 square kilometers and has a population of approximately 720 people, with an average household size of 6.5 individuals. The literacy rate in this community is at 35%, meaning many residents may face challenges understanding complex processes. The main occupations are animal husbandry and agriculture, indicating the community's reliance on farming and livestock for their livelihoods.
Examples & Analogies
Think of a small village that relies on its farms and livestock for income. If a disaster strikes, the community must band together to support each other. Just like in Hajapar, understanding the local demographics, such as education levels and occupations, can determine how assistance is tailored to best help these families get back on their feet.
