This document aims to complement GIS-based damage assessments with qualitative impact analyses to enhance the understanding of infrastructure damage impacts, with a particular emphasis on service availability and accessibility.

This RDNA3 takes stock of almost two years of the ongoing war, estimating damage and losses along with recovery and reconstruction needs for 10 years.

The objective of the assessment is to develop a 2 model-based estimate of the direct physical damages to buildings and infrastructure and evaluate the spatial distribution of damages to support the development of a roadmap for recovery and reconstruction.
