GFDRR is able to help developing countries reduce their vulnerability to natural disasters and adapt to climate change, thanks to the continued
support of our partners: ACP Secretariat, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, European Commission, Finland, France, Germany, India,
Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States, UN
International Strategy for Disaster Reduction, and the World Bank.
Global Distribution of Multiple Hazards Mortality Risk
GFDRR is the collective commitment of the Governments,
UN and the WB to make disaster (risk) management
integral to the longer term development agenda of the
disaster-prone economies.

GFDRR is the global response to this global challenge of
increasing disaster risks to development

Established in 2006 in the wake of increased global awareness and political
commitment after the Indian Ocean tsunami [2005]

Assist developing countries to implement Hyogo Framework of Action (HFA) adopted
by 168 nations in Kobe, Japan [2005]

Facilitate global sharing and exchange of knowledge and experiences in all aspects of
disaster risk management

Leveraging World Bank’s analytical and advisory services, and reconstruction and
development financing for mainstreaming disaster prevention

Model Partnership to ensure global coordination in managing and reducing risks of
disasters among the key stakeholders(developing countries, emerging economies,
donors, UN, Red Cross/Crescent, WB and others)

The GFDRR Business Model
Global and regional partnerships (“Track I”)
Ex Post
Partnership for Sustainable Recovery
(“Track III”)
Resilient recovery: institutional strengthening, improving
coordination in recovery assistance, accelerate recovery
financing that invests in disaster risk reduction
Knowledge Sharing
Mainstreaming at policy level and within sector development,
institutional strengthening, DRR focus on urbanization and
adaptation to climate change
Special Initiatives:
The Economics of Disaster Risk Reduction
Generate evidence for disaster risk reduction
South-South Cooperation
Enhancing collaboration among Southern Governments,
institutions, networks, and communities
Tools and Methodologies
Mainstreaming disaster risk reduction and Climate
Change Adaptation (“Track II”)
Capacity Building
Ex Ante
Building Stronger and inclusive Partnerships, Broadening
GFDDR Governance, expanding (sub) regional cooperation,
harnessing the Private sector
Disaster Risk
Reduction is
Integral Part of
Sustainable
Development
Track III: Sustainable Post-Disaster Recovery
GFDRR established in 2007 the Standby Recovery Financing Facility (SRFF) - to
bridge the gap between humanitarian assistance in the wake of a disaster and
longer term recovery.
GFDRR Track III encompasses two financing windows :
•
TA Fund, to support ex-ante and ex-post technical assistance Post Disaster
Needs Assessments (PDNAs) jointly with EC and UN, planning, and capacity
building.
•
Callable Fund, to provide speedy access to financial resources for disaster
recovery.
Why is Recovery important
•
•
•
•
Links the humanitarian phase to the long-term reconstruction phase
It is a window of opportunity to bring attention to the importance of DRR
especially in LICs (limited fiscal space/no incentive to invest in disaster
prevention) and integrate risk reduction both at policy and sector level
It links with ex ante disaster prevention and climate change adaptation to
reduce long-term vulnerability
Provides an opportunity to promote ‘Build Better’: new constructions should
meet modern standards, not just be better than the destroyed (safe schools
and hospitals)

Evaluation of impact and needs for recovery and reconstruction
Government-led, supported by the international community
Platform for technical and financial coordination in recovery and
reconstruction planning and implementation
An evaluation that integrates risk reduction in sector approaches as
well at strategy level
Essential building block of sustainable recovery and reconstruction
GFDRR’s role as facilitator of the PDNA
1. Objectives of a PDNA:

5.
6.
Quantitative estimation of the value of destruction or damage to assets
and of changes or losses in economic flows due to the disaster
To identify the possible impact of the disaster on the overall performance
of the economy of the affected country or area, and also on individual
persons or on households
To estimate financial, technical and human needs to implement the agreed
upon programs of recovery, reconstruction and risk management
To identify the capacity of the State to undertake on its own all recovery,
reconstruction, and disaster risk management programs and activities
To ascertain whether international assistance is needed its scope
and timeframe
To identify specific public sector actions at the State or lower levels
to be undertaken in the short, medium and long term to ensure
recovery and reconstruction
2. Government Ownership:
Governments increasingly customize the Post Disaster Needs
Assessment to their specific needs.
….. Haiti, Philippines, Indonesia…
Tendency towards a more pro-active ownership of the PDNA process,
compare to a more passive approach previously
….. Namibia, Burkina Faso, Indonesia, Haiti…
Regional organizations can play an important role
…. ASEAN in Myanmar and ECOWAS for West Africa…
Partnership approach requires new communication practices from
affected Governments with the international community
….Joint instead of individual…
3.
Coordination & Partnership:
Increasing interest of global, regional organizations, bilateral donors and neighboring countries to
participate
... Myanmar, Indonesia, Samoa…
... Haiti the entire international community was united, including EC and EU
members states…
PDNA becomes a platform to further coordinate recovery and reconstruction and leads to new
partnerships
…Haiti Reconstruction Fund…
…Tri-partite Joint Declaration EC, WB, UN …
... MoU ASEAN, WB, UNISDR…
… Random Hackers of Kindness, JRC, UNOSAT
Need to streamline the mobilization of experts, protocols of cooperation and methodology to
address human needs
... Rosters of national, regional and global experts….
... Standard operating procedures from alert to lessons learned …
... PDNA Handbook …
4.
Disaster Risk Reduction:
Disaster risk reduction is integrated into sector analysis to make the
needs assessment disaster proof
… Madagascar, Namibia, Senegal, Yemen…
A section dedicated to disaster risk management to address the policy,
strategy and institutional issues
… all assessments; Bangladesh, Yemen, El Salvador, Haiti…
Disasters: Shift from response to preparedness and development
5.
Sustainable Recovery & Reconstruction:
Needs are assessed as part of an overarching strategy that addresses the immediate,
medium-term and long term recovery and reconstruction needs
Funds are leveraged based upon the PDNA results
… Bangladesh US$ 109 Million, incl. US$ 2.3 Million form GFDRR …
… Central African Republic US$ 5.4 Million, Samoa US$ 40 Million …
… Haiti US$ 9.9 Billion ….
The recovery process is monitored to provide guidance to decision makers
… Social Impact Monitoring in Myanmar …
The post-disaster situation provides the opportunity to establish or strengthen a long
term partnership in risk reduction
… flood management in Yemen …
… flood protection for Metro Manila …
… risk reduction becomes mayor theme of El Salvador’s
5 year development plan …
6. Role of GFDRR as facilitator of the PDNA -1-:
From 2008 onwards GFDRR, through its Standby Recovery Financing Facility
(SRFF) has financially and technically supported 19 Post Disaster Needs
Assessment - 18 PDNA, 1 PCNAThe average contribution to a PDNA has been US$ 240,000, though small scale
disaster require US$ 100,000 while catastrophic disasters (Myanmar, Haiti
Earthquake) require US$ 500,000 and above
Technical expertise is provided at coordination level and sector level, utilizing a
WB internal roster; the Quick Reaction Team, and an ever increasing external
roster; the Global Expert Team
Coordination with the EC started in 2006 , facilitated by DG Relex/Crisis Unit
6. Role of GFDRR as facilitator of the PDNA - 2 -:
The SRFF is increasingly becoming the global coordination hub for financing PDNA
and mobilize the required expertise and knowledge through innovative
mechanisms
… administrating funds for partners…
… roster of experts – Quick Reaction Team and Global Expert Team …
… hosting EU member state and emerging economy experts …
... guidance and best practice notes …
EC is one of the most important GFDRR partners that facilitates PDNA financing
