Recovery Planning

This Needs Assessment guides the design and investment prioritization of the proposed Kosi Flood Recovery project. It provides a damage overview in key sectors to identify priority interventions and progress made.

This Book has been designed in response to the needs identified by senior education officials in the earthquake-affected areas of NWFP and AJK, Pakistan. This guide is organised around two books: the Trainer's Notes consisting of session plans for the course facilitator, a list of materials required for the implementation of the workshop, and activities to be defined and reviewed with the participants around the management of recovery and reconstruction; and the 'take-home' Workbook for the participants in the course.

UNESCO and its partners developed this comprehensive in-service training program in disaster recovery for more than 15,000 education sector personnel in the earthquake-affected areas in Pakistan. Sessions include earthquake preparedness, psychosocial support, multi-grade teaching and child protection. Disaster risk reduction is explicitly taught during one day of the 4-day program.

This report is an initial product of the IRP as it seeks to address the pressing needs of a specific audience: those government and other local officials or leaders, entrusted with the responsibilities for planning, managing and carrying out successful and resilient disaster reduction and recovery activities.

This guide was published as a collaborative effort of ProVention, the World Bank's Hazard Management Unit, and the UN Capital Development Fund. It provides practical guidance on how to reduce the vulnerability of Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) to disaster impacts as well as to more effectively support the recovery of their clients in the aftermath of a natural disaster.

This document details the plan of operations for the Indonesian component of OSRO/GLO/502/FIN and has been developed on the basis of the issues and principles identified in the regional project document as well as the prevailing situation in Aceh and Nias one year after the tsunami. The work comprises three results addressing (i) forest rehabilitation, reforestation, tree planting and integrated coastal area management, (ii) timber supply, and (iii) capacity building.

The tsunami affected nearly two thirds of the coastline of Sri Lanka, or about 1000 kilometers along the northern, eastern and southern coasts. It killed about 37,000 people, and damaged or destroyed over 100,000 houses, thousands of vehicles and much infrastructure.

The final report represents a shared overview of the main achievements of the past year and the key challenges that lie ahead. In this collaboration, and through the setting of national priorities, the ongoing partnership between the international community and the people of the Maldives will continue to thrive.

The Action Plan focuses on aiding the human recovery in the tourism industry in five key areas - marketing and communication, community relief, professional training of the tourism workforce, re-development and repositioning of the tourism product with greater emphasis on sustainability and risk management - a framework for assistance within which WTO would contribute to tourism recovery.

The overall objective of the regional programme (OSRO/GLO/502/FIN) of which the Maldives is a component is to help restore the livelihoods of the people in the tsunami-affected areas and to contribute to their improved and more secure futures through forest rehabilitation and reforestation.
