Capacity development is at the core of UNDP’s work world-wide, and at the core of its role in the mine action sector. The purpose of this handbook is to capture the wealth of UNDP’s experience of developing capacities in mine action programming, and guide on how it can be applied in any context. The guidance in this handbook is intended for the entire mine action sector, including all mine action practitioners from UNDP and the entire UN family, national counterparts and operators on the ground.

The Handbook on ODHR is based on UNDP's facilitated post-earthquake housing reconstruction programme in Nepal, implemented after the 2015 earthquake. Under this programme, 26,912 houses were reconstructed, repaired, and retrofitted and the knowledge UNDP gained through that experience is the backbone of this Handbook. It provides guidance on all housing reconstruction phases: damage assessment, programme design and implementation, and reconstruction while encouraging the reduction of future risk and promoting the sustainability of the interventions.
