From the foreword: "Shelter rehabilitation after disaster is one of the most expensive humanitarian interventions. According to data collected by PIN, the average cost estimates in rural Cam- bodia for basic house reconstruction vary between 400- 500 USD - far beyond financial capacity of the majority of poor people living in the disaster prone rural areas. A lack of financial resources is not the only reason why people are unable to build houses that are able to survive season- al tropical storms and flooding each year. Rather, recent evidence from PIN’s post-2011 flood assessments confirm that it is in fact a lack of knowhow and skills to build more resistant shelter as main reason why so much damage to housing was observed."
