• Procurement of materials and tools utilizing UNDP’s

Regional Procurement Office and the Barbados and the OECS Multi Country Office

• Capacity building using expertise from EWB and

UNDP’s proven approach

and approach

• Working with multiple partners to address logistics and

installation and national coverage

QUALITY ASSURANCE AND RISK MANAGEMENT

RISK MANAGEMENT

• Procurement:
• Working through Regional Hub and Barbados and

the OECS MCO for cost effective solutions

• Identifying options for batches of substandard

material to meet deadlines

• Port capacity: partnerships
• Onsite inspections:
• Over 100 between February and May 2018
• Certificates of completion identifying location of

houses being supported under China Aid

QUALITY ASSURANCE

• Expertise
• Engaged Engineers Without Borders to support UNDP

, Government Agencies and Partners in Planning, assessing and building capacity

• Revision of building guidelines, training of professionals

in same and undertaking promotion towards resilient reconstruction

• Installation
• Multiple partners to realize geographic coverage and

appreciating institutional limitations

• Reallocating materials to better performing or new

partners where slippage identified

• Onsite monitoring of installations and materials to meet

standards

ROOF REPAIR POST MARIA – INTERVENTION SUBMISSION

Conclusions: Challenges, Solutions & Lessons Learnt

CHALLENGES: RESILIENT RECONSTRUCTION

• Initially limited government engagement due to the scale of the impact
• Weak understanding of standards and procedures required
• Dated and in some aspects unclear guidelines to the national building code
• Impact of substandard materials, poor designs and construction clearly

exposed failed building practices

• In some cases vulnerable homes needed more than repairs to roofs or

resident did not have rights to the property they occupied

• Shortage of skilled labor – including accessing Cuban labor for the DSC
• Extensive nature of the damage – fully island wide
• Congested and impacted port

SOLUTIONS

• Development of partnerships
• GoCD, DASPA/Port and logistics hub
• Other humanitarian & development actors – for installation, common approaches, process

for beneficiary selection

• Working with Senior Govt Officials, the Govt of Cuba and DSC to realise Cuban workers for

the State College as well as setting up site with materials, tools and scaffolding

• Advocacy and capacity building
• Revision of housing guidelines with the Min of Planning and national contractors
• Training of constructions professionals and extensive outreach to home owners
• Support partners with technical expertise and communication materials
• Common solutions developed by govt and partners in the Housing and Settlements

Working Group – in some cases this meant identifying those who could not receive initial support

• Accessing UNDP Networks
• Engineering expertise to provide technical support
• UNDP Procurement and surge support

LESSONS LEARNT

• Government partnership integral to realizing project success; establishing and

refining goals

• UNDP network and capacity for partnerships necessary to coordinate with

many partners and realizing common agreement

• Importance of technical expertise to go beyond rebuilding to resilient

reconstruction

• Manage project expectations given national context, logistic challenges and

lack of resources to support direct installation.

• Critical importance of China Aid and RBLAC support to presence on the

ground and project outputs – impossible without donor support

• Roofs and beyond: as the project has been catalytic to revise building codes,

promote resilience and train hundreds of relevant personnel with impacts that exceed initial project targets.

• KPI shifted from acquiring materials for 600 housing roofs

and a few government buildings involving 2000 – 2500 beneficiaries TO

• Support installation of roofing materials
• Less buildings (434 houses, 10 medical buildings and 9

educational buildings) BUT similar or increase in coverage

• f buildings (345,000 sq ft to 363,000 sq ft) AND

increase in direct beneficiaries to 30,000

• Wider national impact with advocacy and approach to

realizing resilient reconstruction through

• utreach,

guidelines and support to TACs KEY RESULTS

CONCLUSION

By 30th June 2018, UNDP will complete the China- UNDP project in line with the outputs set out in the project documents (procurement, distribution and additionally process for installation), and will subsequently continue through the project team on the ground to:

• 1. provide technical support;
• 2. quality assure installations lead by Government

and its partners.
