The study highlights five key factors that affect coordination in long-term recovery: (1) the need to coordinate; (2) the role of the government; (3) knowledge networking; (4) mandates and goals and (5) coordination at the donor level. As Nowell and Steelman (2014) highlight, the dynamic nat, planning difficult and communication in real time even more important. The intensity of the collaboration is defined partly by the objectives and context. However, we are still conce, information exchange that takes place face-to-face, via telephone, cellular phones, talkies, as well as e-mails, text messages and other forms of information and com, technologies (Bevc, Barlau and Passanante, 2009).
