On Crisis
Prevention and
Recovery
JPO Workshop, Sarajevo
October 2004
Crisis Prevention and Recovery is one of
UNDP’s 5 practice areas because:
 Losses from conflict / natural disasters exceed development gains
 24 of 50 LDCs face high levels of disaster risk and are affected by
major natural disasters every year.
 20-25 million internally displaced persons worldwide.
 Long-term consequences: new landmine victims in 69 countries.
 Relapse into Conflict / Recurrence of Natural Disaster

Reverse misunderstanding that development agencies
have no/minor role in crisis and that CPR activities lie
outside of our mainstream work

About
BCPR
The Bureau for Crisis
Prevention & Recovery
(BCPR) is UNDP's in-house
support mechanism driving
development response to
crisis and post-conflict
situations through
strengthening UNDP Country
Offices operating in special
development situations.
Strategy
BCPR supports UNDP to work effectively
before, during and after crisis. We do this by:
 Strengthening CO capacity (i.e. programme
design, temporary staff, financial resources)
 Bringing together UN peace-building and
development efforts through close
collaboration with UN Secretariat.
 Linking relief & development by
working closely with our humanitarian
partners.
