The principle of subsidiarity of international assistance is well established, and entails that the Government of the affected country not only has primary responsibility for assisting the victims of a disaster, but also has the authority to coordinate and direct all available assistance.

Efficient post disaster recovery and development require the targeted assistance of the international community and synergy among the stakeholders.

Competent assistance should be made available to help persons complete and file any necessary restitution claims forms, and such assistance should be provided in a manner that is age and gender sensitive.

Recognizing the importance of humanitarian assistance in ensuring the effective transition from conflict to peace and the positive effect it may have in preventing the recurrence of armed conflict, and that humanitarian assistance must be provided in ways that will be supportive of recovery and long term development,

The fulfilment of the aid commitments and the principles and targets in the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness would be a major breakthrough in international cooperation, particularly for sub Saharan Africa.
