made some of Oxfam housing benefi ciaries become disillusioned until all semi-
permanent houses were fi nally completed in 2005. Later, the benefi ciaries of Oxfam'
houses felt at a loss in comparison to their neighbors got permanent houses provided
by other donors, i.e. BRR and Caritas. Those benefi ciaries then tried to negotiate
their upgrading to permanent houses with Oxfam. After many discussions Oxfam
agreed to replace all semi-permanent houses with permanent houses (Fig. 5.4d ).
The modifi cations and entire project were completed at the end of 2007.
This kind of approach without conducting LC prior housing reconstruction had
the benefi t of providing new house more speedily than other community-based
reconstruction programs. In the long-term, however it also resulted in social inequal-
ities as different types and quality of houses emerged randomly within the old lay-
out of the village (Fig. 5.5 ).
