Priority actions to enhance readiness for resilient recovery

The Priority Actions to Enhance Readiness for Resilient Recovery were officially launched at the World Resilient Recovery Conference (WRRC) on 3 June 2025. They are designed to take joined action to accelerate the implementation of Priority Action 4 of the Sendai Framework: Enhancing disaster preparedness for effective response and to “Build Back Better” in recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction. 

The ten priority actions are critical steps to build a more resilient future for all: 

• Action 1: Assess recovery readiness and strengthen governance arrangements
• Action 2: Build and sustain institutional and human capacity for recovery
• Action 3: Secure and enable predictable, inclusive preparedness and recovery financing
• Action 4: Foster multi-stakeholder partnerships and innovation for resilient recovery
• Action 5: Enhance collaboration with the private sector to bolster resilience and recovery efforts
• Action 6: Enable rapid livelihood and economic recovery
• Action 7: Enhance resilient post-disaster housing reconstruction and infrastructure recovery
• Action 8: Increase public awareness for recovery readiness  
• Action 9: Localize recovery through community leadership and empowerment
• Action 10: Establish adaptive monitoring, evaluation, and learning systems for resilient recovery 

At the global level, the International Recovery Platform will spearhead the implementation, in close coordination with Member States and other relevant partners. This includes convening a High-level Policy Forum on Recovery in September of this year, to scale up commitments. 

At the regional level, Regional Dialogues on Resilient Recovery will continue to ensure that regional perspectives and needs are fully integrated. 

At the national level, a top priority will be the rollout of the Recovery Readiness Assessment, to support countries in evaluating and strengthening their prepardness for resilient recovery. This process will not only, help Member States in identifying gaps.
