Sectoral recovery capacity assessment for Guyana’s agriculture sector

Sectoral recovery capacity assessment (SRCA), developed by the Canada-Caribbean resilience facility (CRF) and the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA), analyzes the capacity of key sectors for efficient and coordinated recovery and provides recommendations to improve recovery processes along three main axes: governance, competencies and resources and tools. With the objective of assessing the capacity Guyana’s agriculture sector to plan, design, implement, monitor, and evaluate climate resilient and inclusive recovery processes, the SRCA was implemented in the country’s agriculture sector.

Fast and inclusive recovery efforts in the aftermath of disasters can lower social and economic burdens and allow a more rapid recovery of development levels. With climate change and the prospect of more frequent hydrometeorological disasters, resilient recovery planning and investments have become a priority for the region. This involves assessing and building the capacity needed to ensure the fast and efficient restoration of services, economic activities, and infrastructure.
