It is with great pleasure that I congratulate all ERRA staff for organising the International Conference, in a highly professional, efficacious and well coordinated manner. I appreciate the hard work and extra hours put in by the staff at all levels and across various wings. Your collective efforts have been instrumental in furthering the objective of the Conference, which was disseminating lessons learnt from the reconstruction and rehabilitation in the quake-hit areas of AJ&K and Khyber Pakhtunkhawa. International speakers, UN representatives, NGOs and the media have all lauded ERRA for its initiative to host a knowledge sharing event, the success of which would not have been possible without your hard work. We have achieved yet another milestone in disaster management and together we must celebrate its success by implementing the lessons learned in the course of the three-days Conference.

Well done, and keep it up!

Lt Gen Sajjad Akram
