benefit of information about the Government's recovery plan, adequate coor
among national and local authorities, and sufficient participatory mechanismsin
decision-making processes, affected communities are at risk of being deprived of
their rights through forced relocations.
lt has beendifficult to challenge these situations to enable affected families and
individuals to receive fair and just compensation for losses as access to Justice
mechanisms has been debilitated in the typhoonstricken areas.
Wehope that this advisory will prove useful in promoting and protecting the right
to adequate housing of people affected by Typhoon Yolanda and othernatural
disaster situations in the Philippines.
