Lessons Learned It is of interest to point out that, with the strategy for the recovery of houses - the fact that all of the work of roof installation was undertaken by the beneficiaries themselves together with members of their community - this project allowed for a quick return of the affected persons to their homes, with the entailing result that the women and the families could return to normal living conditions. It also gave a concrete response the needs identified, and promoted an active participation in the implementation of actions for rehabilitation activities. Recommendations A consultant should be present since the purchase of roofs, to provide support on monitoring and give advice on roof distribution and installation This type of project should be executed in one year, previously ensuring the coordination among the UN Agency, BCPR, NGOs and National authorities. One of the diificulties is the different settlement location and the long distance among them It is necessary that the housing authorities maintain a detailed control of the damaged houses, which will facilititate the NGO´s work in the distribution of affected people
