Bank experience in reconstruction & recovery operations
Risk reduction in recovery:a real window of opportunity or not?
Assumption that recovery & reconstruction automatically presents a window of opportunity New awareness of risks post disaster Bad infrastructure washed away creating a blank
slate to build back better But experience shows risk reduction measures are
seldom factored into the recovery process Speed vs effectiveness Humanitarian principles & practice do not mesh well
with long term recovery Development policies forgotten in recovery
Reducing risk in recovery
Recovery projects are often too short to address projected length of recovery
Two timelines or recovery: 1-3 yrs international system 5-10yrs real-time recovery
Disaster risk reduction is a long-term process that requires long-term planning and system-wide support
Reducing risk in recovery
Comprehensive assessment of damage, needs, vulnerabilities and capacities plays a key part in providing effective framework for recovery
Requires participation of affected communities and analysis of risks
Insufficient attention paid to impact of recovery on addressing social vulnerability and livelihoods
Reducing risk in recovery
Institutional capacity building and governance underpin risk reduction
National and local institutions are key to promote risk reduction and ensure risk reduction is factored into recovery planning and programmes
Effective institutions for recovery are not being supported in a systematic fashion
Key risk reduction strategies
Recognise process of recovery and risk reduction as long-term
Strengthen institutional capacity for DRR Prioritise community risk assessment,
participation and address social vulnerability Support risk transfer & sharing-
microinsurance, cash, safety nets, etc Provide risk reduction incentives to shift from
reactive ex-post to proactive ex-ante
