About
The ADB Build Back Better Sector Dialogues will share regional voices, stories, ideas and lessons learned on enhancing climate and disaster resilience through effective and well-designed emergency assistance. The series is centered on ADB’s new Build Back Better Sector Guides, and features perspectives from ADB staff, global thought leaders and local voices on resilient recovery. The first Zoom webinar, held on Thursday 12 December 1.00pm to 2.00pm Manila time, will cover the key principles relevant to any post-disaster project and share a case study on the integrated response to the 2022 Pakistan floods.
The “Build Back Better” sector guides were launched in October 2024 as practical, solution-oriented resources to support its clients, partners and staff to enhance the climate and disaster resilience of communities, infrastructure and systems through building back better. The guides are based on principles, measures, and lessons learned from international literature, over 20 years of ADB disaster and emergency assistance, and wide-ranging consultations and expert inputs. The six upcoming webinars will be held from December 2024 to February 2025 and will cover the six sectors covered by the guides: cross-cutting themes, transport, water, sanitation and hygiene, irrigated agriculture, social infrastructure, and power.
