Disaster Risks in Peru
• Implications of the Andean Mountain Range and the Humboldt Current: 28 climates and 84 life zones
• High exposure to potentially destructive natural phenomena and the effects of climate change: El Niño, earthquakes, extreme temperatures
• Institutional weakness: centralization and a slow decentralization process; high levels of inequality and poverty

Risks and Housing
- More than 3 millions of houses are not made of cement and bricks, no connection to the water network
- Lack of planning in land use processes, population settles on hazard-prone areas
- Inappropriate self-construction techniques

Response to the emergency
- Resources but little effectiveness
- Lack of articulation and coordination between government levels
- Important role of the cooperation and the UN
- Debate gives birth to the SINAGERD law

II. Design and Implementation of the Reconstruction Program
![Page 9: Practical Action Peru post-earthquake reconstruction](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070321/558ed47f1a28ab3b7c8b4660/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Emergency Phase
• Main actions: provision of aid, rehabilitation of classrooms, implementation of shelters, water supply, creation of committees
• Our intervention in this phase laid the foundation for the reconstruction phase

Emergency and Reconstruction
![Page 11: Practical Action Peru post-earthquake reconstruction](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070321/558ed47f1a28ab3b7c8b4660/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Emergency and Reconstruction
Construction of:
• 1,365 shelters (6,500 beneficiaries)
• 33 provisional classrooms and 43 definitive classrooms
• 257 improved quincha houses
![Page 12: Practical Action Peru post-earthquake reconstruction](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070321/558ed47f1a28ab3b7c8b4660/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Reconstruction Proposal
• Problem: use of inadequate technology (adobe), informal land use processes, marginal rural and peri-urban areas, lack of access to government support
• Proposal: community engagement, capacity building, appropriate earthquake-resistant technologies, scaling-up the impact

Improved Quincha Module
![Page 14: Practical Action Peru post-earthquake reconstruction](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070321/558ed47f1a28ab3b7c8b4660/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Methodology of the Intervention
• Participatory selection of the beneficiaries
• Officials involved in the process
• Creation of collective work groups
• Community participation in project management, logistics and monitoring

a) User Satisfaction
• High level of satisfaction; perception of improved health and security
• Houses in good condition; high level of ownership
• Module design and location allow for extensions
![Page 21: Practical Action Peru post-earthquake reconstruction](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070321/558ed47f1a28ab3b7c8b4660/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• Effective targeting
• Few cases of houses abandoned, leased or sold
• Contribution to formalization processes
• In some cases, the beneficiaries targeted were not the ones in greatest need
b) Beneficiary Targeting

V. Reflections: ‘Knowing what you have learned now about the impact of your work, what
would you have changed in the design and implementation of your project?’
![Page 26: Practical Action Peru post-earthquake reconstruction](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070321/558ed47f1a28ab3b7c8b4660/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Reflections
• How to compete with government subsidies and aid dependency
• How to position the technological proposal in front of other more «prestigious» proposals
• Centralization of advocacy actions
• From training to technical certification
