Overview : In 2008, the World Bank, the European Union and UNDG signed a Joint declaration for collaboration in Crisis and Post Crisis settings. The tripartite partners committed to mobilize member institutions and resources to enhance coordination on recovery and harmonize post crisis needs assessment, in the post disaster and post conflict situations, and recovery frameworks, RFs, to better support governments and affected populations. To this end, the partners developed methodologies for conducting post disaster needs assessment, PDNAs, recovery and peace building assessments, RPBAs, and Recovery Frameworks, RFs. The application of these tools in over 80 crisis situations, 60 of them related to disasters triggered by natural hazards, has led to an important and growing body of practice that contributes significantly to the recovery efforts. The first systematic review of the effectiveness of the tripartite partnership and the application of the PDNA tool was conducted between March and June 2017 and launched in 2018 as part of the commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the Joint Declaration. The evaluation report, Lessons from a Decade of Experience focuses on two main objectives: - To assess the relevance, impact, effectiveness, sustainability and value of the PDNA in developing useful post-disaster recovery plans, and
- To propose recommendations for the improvement of the PDNA methodology and its implementation.
The assessment was jointly carried out by UNDP and the Global Facility for Disaster Risk Reduction and Recovery, GFDRR, of the WB with the support from the European Union. Fourteen PDNAs conducted between 2014 and 2016 were considered in this evaluation, representing a wide range of socioeconomic, political and cultural characteristics as well as a wide range of geographic areas and impact from different natural hazards. Under the Strengthening Capacities for Post Disaster Needs Assessment and Recovery Preparedness, PDNA rollout II Project, a consultancy to review and evaluate PDNAs conducted in the lifetime of the project, period 2017 to 2019, is considered to complement the findings from the first evaluation. A list of PDNAs conducted in the indicated period are listed below, a selection of those PDNAs to be evaluated will be agreed with the partners and informed to the selected consultant based on availability of resources. In principle, the following tentative list should be considered by the consultant: Sri Lanka (Floods 2017 PDNA/DRF), Indonesia (Earthquake 2018), Kerala (Floods 2018), Dominica and Antigua & Barbuda (Hurricane 2017), Angola (Drought 2012-2016, PDNA/DRF) and Mozambique (Cyclone 2019 PDNA/DRF). Objective: The purpose of this procurement exercise is to contract an individual consultant who will review at least 7 PDNAs and DRFs completed in the last 3 years to understand how PDNAs have contributed to the implementation of recovery plans and programs.
