N: 1. rehabilitation (n.): 1530s, from Middle French réhabilitation and directly from Medieval Latin rehabilitationem (nominative rehabilitatio) “restoration,” noun of action from past participle stem of rehabilitare, from re- “again” (see re-) + habitare “make fit,” from Latin habilis “easily managed, fit” (see able). Specifically of criminals, addicts, etc., from 1940.
2. Linking relief, rehabilitation and development continues to be a major methodological and operational problem. The nature of humanitarian and development programmes is different. They have different mandates, know-how and objectives and many aspects of the methods and tools that are used are different (relations with partners, the role of national authorities, etc.).
For a long time, the idea of the continuum was predominant: emergency aid was mobilised to bring relief to the affected population and then reconstruction and rehabilitation activities were implemented until it was possible to restart development programmes. In reality, however, it is very rare for crises to develop in a linear manner.
