• to express the intended outcome for the population affected by the disaster as well as host populations, taking into account their livelihoods, the need for communal service infrastructure, and ensuring support to the vulnerable
• to bring stakeholders together to agree on the main points of the post-disaster situation and collective objectives

Each barrier or opportunity identified among all relevant stakeholders requires the following:
• discussion of its likely impacts
• indicators - is the situation improving or worsening?
• what has been done about it?
• what can be done about it?
