Thanks for this helpful post. New Mandala readers following the Cyclone Nargis response may also be interested in the report Post-Nargis Analysis: The Other Side of the Story, released by a newtwork of local organisations on October 16th. The report states that:

The primary goal in compiling this analysis is to raise the concerns about certain misleading impressions created by the PONJA report, as well as the fact that the PONJA report is being treated without question as the main guiding document for international relief and recovery work. “Post-Nargis Analysis: Th e Other Side of the Story” is an initial attempt to provide all stakeholders with additional information in order to broaden and deepen their understanding of the situation in the areas aff ected by Cyclone Nargis.
