Sectoral recovery capacity assessment- a methodological approach for recovery readiness in the Caribbean and beyond

This document provides an overview of the Sectoral Recovery Capacity Assessment (SRCA), a methodological approach to determine and analyze the capacity of key sectors to implement resilient and inclusive recovery projects in a timely, efficient, and effective manner.

The assessment evaluates the conditions and extent to which existing capacity in key national sectors enables timely, effective, and coordinated gender-informed, climate-resilient disaster recovery. It identifies solutions to capacity issues that could limit and delay the implementation of recovery projects, and it also provides recommendations to improve recovery processes along three main axes: Governance, Competencies, and Resources and Tools. The SRCA approach can be applied to any development sector and in practically any country and has thus far been implemented in selected Caribbean countries interested to (1) set a baseline for strengthening recovery readiness and its results, and inform the prioritization, design, and; (2) implement recovery capacity-building activities to be led and funded by national budgets and other actors.
