The Cluster Working Group on Earl Recovery (CWGER) developed this guide to provide greater clarity and guidance on what early recovery means and on how to undertake early recovery activities effectively. It is designed primarily for UN colleagues and partners working at country level on early recovery in natural disasters and complex emergencies.

This document, developed with support from country-level colleagues, aims to:
 

1. Help practitioners understand the particular complexities of early recovery environments, and appreciate the diverse range of actors involved in planning and implementing early recovery activities.

2. Establish some basic guiding principles and minimum standards of intervention for early recovery.

3. Provide tools and resources for practitioners working on early recovery across a range of functions.

4. Set the stage for an effective handover to longer-term recovery processes.
