Community Development Approach in Aceh Reconstruction, Reflecting on Lessons Learned for Yogyakarta Lesson Learned from The Field, a Practical Guideline in Modern Project Management Style in Post-Disaster Areas Executive Summary This paper will explore the issue of project management and planning style based on the Aceh experience for its implications here in Yogyakarta. Through examining case studies from UN-HABITAT, Canadian Red Cross and UPC-UPLINK, the paper will emphasise the significant role of the participatory approach in the rebuilding processes. We will further show how the modern, commercial contracting model, or ordinary project management style does not efficient enough in managing the massif rebuilding practices. Three pressing questions that relate to successful project management (PM) will frame this paper: (1). What lessons can we transfer from one relief project in one context to one in a very different context? (2) To what extent does the local, traditional culture and the culture of the aid organization influence project delivery? (3) In what ways can PM skills and techniques be better developed to cope with these complex contexts? Some challenges are common across relief projects and this paper will attempt to categorize these lessons into generic classes, with a second order categorization to better describe their impact, likely magnitude, and suggested ways of addressing these issues.
