A. Develop methodology for PDNA and for developing a Recovery Framework

  • Develop a methodology for estimating the consequences of the disaster taking into account:  damage to infrastructure, economic losses in production, destruction of services, disruption in governance processes and increased risk.
  • The above methodology should be developed for 16 sectors mostly organized under 11 clusters. The sectors are of the following categories -
  • Productive Sector: Agriculture, Livestock & fishery; Employment and Livelihoods , Industry, Commerce, Tourism
  • Cross Cutting Sectors: Disaster Risk Reduction, Governance, Gender and Social Inclusion; and Environment.
  • In each sector propose the set of baseline data required, questionnaire and templates for data collection for assessing the effects of the disasters and impact of the disaster on macro economy and human development, including identifying pre-crisis data sets and humanitarian needs assessment data that will be used.
  • Determine the criteria for assessing damage under different damage categories such  as fully damaged and partially damaged etc
  • Propose for each sector a methodology for estimating the costs for recovery and reconstruction, including considerations on the diverse geographic and development regions.
  • Propose guidance how each sector assesses the cross cutting elements of gender and social inclusion, people with disability, disaster risk reduction and governance issues.
  • Provide guidance on sector recovery strategies including aspects of implementation arrangements for recovery.
  • Recommend an effective and efficient coordination structure that encourages cross-cluster collaborations and hence supports recovery interventions leading to sustainable development in the field.
