Resource information
The exercise was to conduct a
preliminary assessment of the damage caused by the cyclone
and floods, in close coordination with the government,
development partners, civil society, and other stakeholders
active in the affected area,. The damage and needs
assessment (DNA) also estimates the related economic
implications and indirect losses incurred due to wide scale
flood damages in Sindh and Balochistan, and the associated
early recovery and reconstruction costs, based on certain
guiding principles and strategies for the short and medium
to long-term reconstruction and recovery phases. The
assessment reviewed the capacity of the various sector
institutions to undertake the reconstruction activity and
has made recommendations for capacity improvement
accordingly. It also provides basic information on the size
and length of the early recovery plan required for each
sector for the best possible integration of the relief,
early recovery and reconstruction phases. three years. If
the different steps of reconstruction get delayed, the
corresponding costs are expected to change/increase.
Therefore, it is critical that the government should start
planning the reconstruction as soon as possible so that
immediate and short term phases can be implemented withoutdelay.
