Owner-Driven vs. NGO-Driven Approaches
Unlock Audio Lesson
Today, we’ll explore two major types of disaster recovery approaches: owner-driven and NGO-driven. Can anyone explain what owner-driven means?
I think it means that the people affected by disasters contribute their resources to rebuild.
Exactly! It’s when individuals use their own money or materials. Now, what do you think NGO-driven means?
Is that when NGOs take charge of the rebuilding process?
Yes, NGOs can approach recovery through product-centric methods, meaning they mainly focus on what needs to be rebuilt. There’s also a people-centric approach, which involves collaboration with local communities. Why do you think this distinction matters?
It might affect how well the community feels included in the rebuilding process.
That’s right! Community involvement leads to higher satisfaction in recovery efforts. Let’s summarize: owner-driven = personal contribution; NGO-driven = organizational support.
Models of Reconstruction
Unlock Audio Lesson
We have three categories of reconstruction models based on our earlier discussion. Can anyone name them?
Owner-driven, NGO-driven, and community NGO partnership!
Great! Now, let’s discuss the impacts of these models. What did the reports reveal about post-disaster housing in Gujarat?
They showed a mix of NGO construction and owner-driven self-construction!
Correct! In fact, around 96,000 homes were self-constructed. Why do you think owner-driven homes had a different mode of construction than NGO-driven homes?
Maybe because people want to stay in their original location?
Exactly! Most self-construction happens in-situ. To summarize, our three models—owner-driven, NGO-driven, community partnership—highlight different recovery dynamics.
Impact and Satisfaction
Unlock Audio Lesson
Now that we've discussed various approaches, let’s consider satisfaction rates among communities. What did the survey in Gujarat reveal?
It showed 80% satisfaction for NGO-built houses and 91% for owner-driven!
That's right! Why do you think owner-driven homes received higher satisfaction ratings?
Maybe because they have more control over how their homes are rebuilt?
Exactly! A sense of ownership often leads to greater satisfaction. Let’s take that to our next segment; we’ll dive into specific case studies.
Case Study: Hajapar
Unlock Audio Lesson
Let’s focus on the Hajapar case study. Who can share what the community demographics tell us about the area?
It has a population of 720 and many were involved in agriculture and animal husbandry.
Yes! And this socioeconomic status impacts how recovery is managed. What key facilities were affected in Hajapar?
Electricity lines, schools, and health centers were all destroyed!
Correct! Understanding these dynamics helps us appreciate the challenges and strategies for effective recovery. To wrap up, recall the importance of localized recovery strategies.

Quick Overview
Standard
It examines various models utilized in post-disaster interventions, emphasizing the collaboration between communities and NGOs. The section presents statistics on housing reconstruction in Gujarat, including satisfaction levels and community constructions, while providing insights into study areas impacted by these approaches.
Detailed
Study Area and Approaches
This section deliberates on diverse approaches used in disaster recovery, specifically focusing on owner-driven and NGO-driven methods. Owner-driven refers to individuals contributing their resources to rebuild from disasters. Conversely, NGO-driven approaches encompass two main types: product-centric, which indicates a top-down approach where NGOs dictate the reconstruction process, and people-centric, which focuses on partnership with communities.
Three categories of models are introduced, illustrating the nuances of each:
1. Owner-driven (package 2)
2. NGO-driven (package 1)
3. Community NGO partnership approach (package 1)
The section showcases post-disaster interventions in Gujarat, where compensation was provided to families of deceased persons and for livestock deaths. Statistical analysis reveals the extent of housing reconstruction efforts in Kutch, noting that around 50,000 homes were planned by NGOs, and the report highlights the high percentage of owner-driven self-construction.
The section underscores the importance of reconstruction volumes, satisfaction rates among beneficiaries, and community dynamics in housing changes post-disaster, shedding light on how people used the reconstructed houses. Content includes specific case studies like the Hajapar village, where socio-economic implications and community distributions affect reconstruction efficacy. The goal is to show that while NGOs play a pivotal role, the success of interventions often hinges on local participation and ownership.

They can also contribute their money, this is we called 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.
Detailed Explanation
In housing reconstruction, there are two major approaches: owner-driven and NGO-driven. The owner-driven approach allows people to contribute finances for their housing needs, empowering individuals to have control over their reconstruction. On the other hand, the NGO-driven approach can be further divided into two main types: product-centric and people-centric. A product-centric approach is primarily managed by NGOs, which create housing solutions based on predefined products. In contrast, a people-centric approach fosters a partnership between people and NGOs or private agencies, prioritizing community involvement in the reconstruction process.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine a community that has been affected by a flood. In the owner-driven model, each family would gather their savings or seek loans to rebuild their homes as they see fit. In the NGO-driven model, one NGO might provide pre-fabricated houses (product-centric), while another might work with the families to design their homes (people-centric), thus incorporating the families' needs and preferences into the planning.

What they have done in Gujarat; post-disaster interventions, they 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 was to provided and in case of cattle death, different amount of money was given like for goat 150, for bull 750 rupees, for cow 2500 like that.
Detailed Explanation
In Gujarat, after a disaster, various financial aids were provided to support the affected individuals. A sum of Rs.1 lakh (100,000 rupees) was allocated to family members of deceased individuals, showing that immediate support was prioritized for the bereaved. Additionally, households received Rs.1250 to help them with essential kits needed for survival. Compensation was also provided for the loss of livestock based on the type of animal, with specific amounts designated for goats, bulls, and cows, indicating the local importance of livestock to the community's livelihood.
Examples & Analogies
Consider a village recovering from an earthquake. Families who lost loved ones received significant financial help to ease their grief and start rebuilding their lives. Similarly, the families that lost their goats or cows—integral to their income—received compensation so they could replace them and restore their livelihoods.

Shelter reconstruction; some of the reports here; now, progress of housing reconstructions in Kutch, number of total destroyed houses was 1 lakh 56,000 little more than that in Kutch area, and that was planned by the NGO was around 50,000 among them, the under-construction house right now that time 2003 was little more than 6000, completed almost 40,000 thousand little less than that.
Detailed Explanation
In Kutch, a significant number of houses were destroyed due to disaster—156,000 in total. NGOs aimed to rebuild approximately 50,000 of these homes. At the time of reporting in 2003, more than 6,000 houses were under construction, while about 40,000 had been completed. This demonstrates the substantial efforts taken by NGOs to restore housing for disaster-affected individuals and how the reconstruction process evolved over time.
Examples & Analogies
Think of a large community park that gets severely damaged. In response, volunteer groups (like NGOs) work to restore it. Initially, a few projects (like playgrounds) may start construction, while several sections (like the flower beds) are already completed. This reflects an organized and systematic approach to recovery, similar to how NGOs functioned in Kutch.

Self-construction that is owner-driven basically is around 96,000 to 97,000, and the total houses constructed were 1 lakh 35,000 thousand that time. The mode of reconstructions; NGO constructions you can see that even in case of NGO mostly, it was 56% was in-situ but is a great number of also relocated house, in case of owner-driven or self-constructed majority are in-situ development, only 22% is relocated buildings.
Detailed Explanation
Of the homes rebuilt after the disaster, approximately 96,000 were constructed using the owner-driven model, allowing individuals to rebuild their homes. Out of a total of 135,000 houses constructed, around 56% of the NGO-led rebuilds were in-situ, meaning they were built on the same location as the previous homes. Conversely, the owner-driven constructions predominantly focused on in-situ development, with only 22% involving relocations, highlighting a preference for rebuilding on existing lands.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine a neighborhood that has been destroyed by a storm. Most residents want to rebuild where their homes were, as this is where their community ties are strongest (in-situ). However, some might have to move to a new location because of zoning laws or lack of land availability, which is seen in the 22% of relocated buildings.

Total 102 NGOs; 100 NGOs were involved working on reconstructions, 65 of them have been a part of 'public-private partnership' program and 37 out of them is working as independently without much collaborations with the local people.
Detailed Explanation
In total, 102 NGOs were part of the reconstruction efforts, with 100 being actively involved. Of these, 65 NGOs participated in public-private partnerships, which often involved collaboration between government entities, private organizations, and the community for efficient, effective rebuilding. Meanwhile, 37 NGOs operated independently, not necessarily seeking partnership with local communities. This indicates a mix of strategies in engaging with local populations during reconstruction.
Examples & Analogies
When organizing a community festival, some groups might partner with local businesses for sponsorships (public-private partnership), while others may decide to host the event entirely on their own, using only volunteers from the neighborhood. Both approaches can achieve the goal but may yield different levels of community involvement.

Now, what was the variation in the rooms in case of new houses, is it increased, decreased, remain same? When NGO constructed, increase is around 20%, what they had before they received more built-up area, or rooms that is 20%, most of the cases is same but also significantly 27% compared to 20% increase that decrease, whereas in case of owner-driven, it did not increase much also, did not decrease much, it remains most of the cases the same, the total area.
Detailed Explanation
When comparing the new houses, those built by NGOs showed a 20% increase in built-up area or room counts compared to previous homes. However, for some, there was a 27% total decrease from what had existed, indicating varied results. In contrast, the homes reconstructed through the owner-driven model tended to remain similar in size and layout, suggesting simpler rebuilds without expansive improvements.
Examples & Analogies
Consider two families rebuilding after a flood. One family decides to use an expert contractor (NGO approach), resulting in a larger house with extra rooms. The other family rebuilds with minimal changes (owner-driven), maintaining the same number of rooms and space they had before.

Use of reconstruction house; are they really using these houses according to a Abhiyan survey in 2003, NGO houses are almost also very significantly people are using, owner-driven of course but NGO-driven also some people are not using around 20%.
Detailed Explanation
The Abhiyan survey of 2003 indicated that most people were making use of the houses that were reconstructed. It was noted that around 20% of the houses built by NGOs were not being utilized, while owner-driven houses had higher rates of occupancy. This highlights the importance of community involvement and the satisfaction of residents with their new homes, as a lack of usage could signal unmet needs or preferences in the housing design.
Examples & Analogies
Think about a neighborhood where new houses have been built. Some residents love their new homes and live in them actively, while others might feel that their new homes don't fit their needs and choose not to stay in them, highlighting the importance of understanding the community's needs during the design process.
