ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The development of this Guide on Livelihoods and Economic Recovery Programming in Crisis
and Post-Crisis Situations was led by the UNDP Bureau for Crisis Prevention and Recovery
(BCPR). In addition, expert staff from Regional Bureaux, the UN Capital Development
Fund (UNCDF), the Bureau of Management (BoM), the Private Sector Division (PSD) in the
Partnerships Bureau (PB), UNDP Country Offices, UNDP Regional Service Centres, BCPR and
the Bureau for Development Policy (BDP) led the development of individual chapters in
this Guide. 93 Some of the chapters are hyperlinked while others were further summarized
in the current version of the Guide in Crisis and Post Crisis Situations.
A Livelihoods and Economic Recovery Expert Writers Group was established for this purpose
in September 2009. The expert group was composed of all lead writers for the chapters
of this Guide. A Livelihoods and Economic Recovery Expert Writers Group workshop took
place in Geneva from 30 November to 4 December 2009, with the participation of many
of the chapter leaders and contributors. The members of this workshop established the
vision and outline of this Guide.
A UNDP Livelihoods and Economic Recovery Workshop was held in Nairobi in June 2010
to review the draft Guide. Subsequently, a Senior Readers’ Group was established to
further review and provide guidance on all of the chapters, and the Guide as a whole.
UNDP would like to extend its utmost gratitude to chapter leaders and
contributors below:
