The Post Disaster Needs Assessment in Asia- Pacific: A Regional Overview

Since 2005 48 PDNAs have been conducted in 40 countries Out of these 21 have been conducted in the Asia-Pacific region

Evolution of the PDNA Methodology

Post-crisis Cooperation Agreement and Guidelines

On 25 September 2008, the UNDG, EU and WB signed a Joint Declaration on Post-Crisis Assessments and Recovery Planning

• PDNA Volumes A and B
• Disaster Recovery Framework

Presented in September 2014 at the Second World Reconstruction Conference;

• fficially launched at the Sendai

World Conference

Why conduct a PDNA: Rationale

Common platform for coordinated action Enhance country resilience to crisis People-centred inclusive approach to the civil society Government led process Tool for resource mobilization and recovery programming Harmonize methodologies, toolkits and capacity building approach

PDNA Actors

National Government and its Institutions National Disaster Management Systems, the Line Ministries and the Local Governments Civil society, Private Sector, Technical and Academic Institutions EU, WB, UNDG and other International Partners

PDNA Actors

Who conducts a PDNA: Key actors

PDNA Activation

In country communication between EU, WB, UN of a possible request for a PDNA, reported immediately to HQ. Official request from the Government and joint decision to activate a PDNA including the designation of the national lead ministry. Deployment of a Planning Mission and formulation

• f the TORs for the PDNA.

Definition of the support that Government and partners will provide to the process. Coordination with Gov. and among partners

Tools and mechanisms for the PDNA

• Agreed methodology for the assessment:

PDNA Vol. A

• 18 Sector-specific guidelines: PDNA Vol. B
• A Disaster Recovery Framework: DRF
• Training package
• Roster of experts

What is a PDNA? Key Considerations

• Types of disasters impact sectors differently eg. earthquakes impact the housing (social) and

roads (infrastructure) the most; floods and cyclones tend to impact agriculture (productive), livelihoods and environment (cross-cutting) more

• The country context is critical in calculating recovery needs eg. in Bhutan and Nepal

earthquakes, restoration of cultural heritage is important for physical as well as psycho-social needs

• To analyse pre-and-post-disaster effects, baseline data must be available and collected

beforehand, usually by the Government

• In addition to desk review, the assessment must include field visits to validate data and

ensure the human dimension

• The PDNA highlights underlying risks and vulnerabilities that pose a threat to future

disasters, therefore, recovery needs include components of disaster risk reduction or build back better

• Disaggregated data from enough disasters show that women are disproportionately affected

by disasters, gender has emerged as an important cross cutting issue to address in recovery

• PDNAs led to national assessment instruments adapted and developed in: Indonesia, Laos,

Philippines, Nepal, Kyrgyzstan, Central America, Caribbean, Jamaica

• Used for small and large disasters to form recovery and reconstruction plans: Fiji, Samoa,

Caribbean islands

• Institutionalized process by law: Indonesia, Nepal
• Recovery and Reconstruction done with a focus on reducing risks, “building back better”:

Indonesia

• Led to complete review of strategy and investment in Disaster Risk Reduction: Indonesia,

Bangladesh, Nigeria

• Post-disaster recovery led to conflict reduction: Indonesia (Aceh)
• Concept of recovery moving from focus on physical reconstruction to focus on recovery

from impacts on human development, welfare, livelihoods and capacities: Fiji, Samoa, Malawi

• Capacity building on conducting the PDNA: Trainings for representatives from ASEAN

member states (July 2015) and SAARC disaster management authorities (September 2015) held

Strategic results of cooperation Strategic results of cooperation

Management: MOU signed on 27 November 2007
