the intent of this handbook is not to explain how CALL does business. Rather, it takes a holistic look at what CALL does today and combines that with numerous, successful LL programs to lay a foundation for a "generic" LL capability that can be used as a "menu" of options to develop your own LL program. There are no hard-and-fast rules for how to set up an LL program. Typically, any LL effort will depend on what the organization is trying to achieve and its level of resourcing. Every organization must develop its own way of working with observations, insights, lessons, and best practices that suits the nature of the knowledge it requires and its organizational culture

The belief that development and reconstruction are central to stability and security is not new. It is, however, also highly contentious, perhaps nowhere more so than in Afghanistan, the longest running experiment in stabilisation. Experiences in Afghanistan have irrevocably shaped how aid agencies regard and relate to military forces during conflict and, arguably, vice-versa. Through the Afghanistan case, this Working Paper seeks to better understand the challenges of civil-military dialogue - dialogue between military forces and independent humanitarian actors - in the context of combined international and national military forces pursuing stabilisation. In particular, it looks at the challenges posed by military forces that actively seek to pursue development and reconstruction - traditionally the domain of aid agencies - as a central component of a military strategy.

The JCWC Joint Training Branch is afforded the unique opportunity to visit and support commanders and staffs of joint headquarters worldwide as they prepare for, plan, and conduct operations. We gain "insights" into their challenges and solutions. We also analyze and compare techniques and procedures among the different headquarters, reflect on their various challenges, collaborate with other agencies and the Services, and subsequently draw out and refine what we term Best Practices. We share these vetted insights and best practices in our overarching paper "Joint Operations: Insights and Best Practices" as well as smaller, more detailed Focus Papers

As a thematic platform of the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR) system, IRP is a key pillar for the implementation of the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) 2005-2015: Building the Resilience of Nations and Communities to Disasters, a global plan for disaster risk reduction for the decade adopted by 168 governments at the WCDR.

IRP aims to be an international source of knowledge on good recovery practice
