1. 1 Haiti earthquake: A Christian Aid perspective…

2. 2 What happened?

3. 3 Not too bad?... Difficult conditions to establish programmes Initial response times were slow because of a number of compounding factors But, basic services were re-established first by local actors and then the wider community within weeks not months A strong response from civil society in the Dominican Republic within 24 hours Clusters set up efficiently

4. 4 Problems of access to coordination for local NGOs and actors Competition for space Perceptions and realities in the eyes of local residents Paralysis by analysis? Chasing rubble Standards Problems…

5. 5 So how did we do?...
