abstract="This article extends the build-back-better disaster risk reduction knowledge. It highlights the importance of the build-back-better during disaster recovery in Zimbabwe. Using literature, the author discusses the benefits of the build-back-better; analyses how the build-back-better can contribute to the reconstruction and sustainable development; and, discusses build-back-better strategies for reconstruction. The findings are that the build-back-better supports the aims of sustainable development goals. The build-back-better provides stronger, better and safer infrastructure, recovery surpluses, and is a learn-and-act endeavour. The study concluded that through providing stronger infrastructure, resilient and sustainable communities, build-back-better supports both reconstruction and sustainable development.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
