[en] In the context of post-crisis transition situations (natural or man-made disasters, mainly conflicts), rather than merely coordinating ‘relief’ and ‘development’, the recovery approach currently being developed by the United Nations aims to integrate these two dimensions as well as, in the case of conflicts, peacebuilding and peacekeeping activities. The core principles of recovery are to restore, to improve, and to prevent. Recovery thus focuses on restoring the capacity of national institutions and communities after a crisis.
