Abstract: Reflecting on the lessons from international experience, this article aims to outline the analytical and institutional framework for restoring essential public services after a disaster. Specifically, this article offers a five-pillar framework to support successful reconstruction of essential social services in disaster-affected localities. The article is set in the context of China’s Reconstruction Strategy following the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. The five-pillar framework, however, is relevant for any developing country that may face the challenge of reconstruction after a major disaster.
