1. Recovery planning

Recovery priorities workshops and sectoral round tables served to ensure the inclusion of risk reduction in sectoral recovery planning.

The lack of an adequate and predictable funding base for disaster recovery widens sectoral and coordination gaps and impedes recovery planning.

Emphasizing also the importance of integrating risk reduction into development planning and post disaster recovery,

It should support and not attempt to replace effective country level planning for recovery and peacebuilding.

Reliable data is critical for effective recovery planning UNFPA is a recognized leader in this area.

Lessons emerging from the recovery effort in Bam suggest that shortcomings in the planning and coordination of recovery efforts led to key revitalization efforts being overlooked.

Disaster recovery planning is a subset of a larger process known as business continuity planning and includes planning for resumption of applications, data, hardware, electronic communications (such as networking) and other IT infrastructure.

So it was right to start planning for a change of gear when the recovery started to materialize.

In 2005, these funds provided some 20 countries with strategic planning and coordination support for recovery and transition.

While that process needs to be sequenced, the planning for recovery should start as relief work begins, and the planning for long term development should parallel reconstruction activities.

In an attempt to address the planning, funding and knowledge gaps in recovery, United Nations and non United Nations partners have embarked on the establishment of an International Recovery Platform.

Within the context of the joint United Nations World Bank needs assessments and recovery planning, the Goals provide important targets and indicators for planning the transition out of conflict.

Emphasizing also the importance of integrating risk reduction into all phases of disaster management, development planning and post disaster recovery,

Thematic funds have fewer restrictions than most other resources, allowing for longer term planning while reducing transaction costs and recovery rates.

Post conflict situations in particular present opportunities for new partnerships and action being at the table during transition planning can ensure that reproductive health, gender and data issues are integrated into recovery planning.

If that is to be done successfully, community leadership must be consulted and must form part of the recovery effort planning process.

A business continuity plan (BCP) includes planning for non IT related aspects such as key personnel, facilities, crisis communication and reputation protection, and should refer to the disaster recovery plan (DRP) for IT related infrastructure recovery continuity.

Irish recovery cannot occur without European recovery.

The participation and active involvement of local communities, institutions, and affected individuals both women and men in the planning of recovery efforts is essential.

In addition, IAEA has provided its expertise for the planning of the proposed World Bank post Chernobyl recovery project (see paras. 21 23 above).

Recovery

That way it would have a direct impact on the planning and implementation of humanitarian assistance and the designing of recovery strategies for the country.

This is due in part to an overall gap in recovery planning that has left key national entities and some United Nations country teams overstretched.

While efforts to implement the above priority programmes continue, consultations have been initiated with the World Bank on planning for long term reconstruction and recovery.

Nevertheless, coordination gaps remain, and the tsunami response has highlighted the need to conduct assessments of early recovery needs, to set up predictable mechanisms for the deployment of technical experts to support recovery planning and to better coordinate post crisis funding.

This will include attention to such areas as short and long term perspective planning, structural adjustment and recovery programmes, coordination of external assistance and resource mobilization.
