  3. ER Needs Assessment • ER themes established early in the response • ER Needs Asmt conducted jointly with the MoFDM, 2 day enumerators training (120 Enmrts, 6 dist, 3 wks, 50 FGDs, 150 HH itvs) • Broad participation by all clusters & NGO partners • GoB-led process: 1 year ER Action plan (ERAP) • GoB requested Dev partners to finance ERAP 360 M requirements. • Dec 08 • 6 -11: Inception, planning, instruments • 12-20: Field data collection • 22-26: Analysis & Report • Jan 7, 09: Nat Workshop • Feb 09: ERAP completed

  6. Lessons Learned • What worked? Effect of joint effort • Operating a multi-sectoral assessment involving clusters • Coherent scheme (sampling, organisation, recruitment, training, deployment) • Development of a full-blown instrumentation (HH itv, FGD, KII) • What didn’t work? Main constraints of joint approach. • WB team leader unaware of the existing inter-institutional commitment • Different government agencies drove different agenda • The turfing was too strong to reconcile despite efforts towards integration

  7. Lessons Learned • Reflections on improving relationship between partner agencies, communications, logistics, decision making, etc. • Should have run it as multi-cluster assessment from the UNRC Office instead of as ER Cluster / UNDP programme • Should have used more leverage at HQ level to deal with WB • How much did your institution invest in the PDNA (financial, technical, logistical, resources)? • Trac 3.1.1 up to USD 100 K • Counterpart contributions from partner agencies • ER Advisor to UNRC, ER Coord./Asmnt. Specialist, ER Advisor • Sectoral follow through assessments • Livelihood, environment, agriculture, education

  8. Lessons Learned Cont. • Utility of the recovery framework? • GoB ambivalent position re appeal • Competing scheme confused the donors • 12 Month ER Action Plan served more as programmatic advocacy tool • Cyclone Nargis took the spotllight away from BDesh • What is the ability to monitor the recovery framework? • UNDP and MoFDM followed through the ERAP • Have best practices been identified, institutionalized and shared? • UNCT lessons learnt workshop, March 2008 • After-Action Review conducted involving Dhaka/Bangkok/NY/GVA • Other major issues raised by assessment process • No readily available models and tools • UN assessments in isolation did not work well

  9. Relationship of assessment and therecovery process • What recovery strategies have been undertaken since the crisis? • GoB’s Early Recovery Action Plan • United Nations Early Recovery Framework • How much has been invested in recovery? • Nature of relationship between assessments undertaken/PDNA recovery framework developed and actual strategies and investments? • Documentation of recovery activities: existence/effectiveness of monitoring system? • Do recovery needs persist that require further assessment and investment?
