Midterm report 2020: Building capacities for resilient recovery - Phase II (BCRRII)

Phase II of the “Building Capacities for Resilient Recovery” aims to better prepare governments to manage future recovery processes in an effective, sustainable and inclusive way. Strengthened capacities of national counterparts and systems to plan and manage recovery processes will enhance the resilience of five target countries - Burkina Faso, Cabo Verde, Lao PDR, Myanmar and Niger - in the face of disasters through “building back better”.

Utilizing UNDP’s in-depth knowledge and experience in recovery, the second phase builds upon the achievements of the earlier phase - “Preparedness for Resilient Recovery” - and will deepen the practice of recovery at local and community level. Moreover, it will help meet the increasing demand from target countries for technical assistance to strengthen the institutional, policy and financial frameworks for resilient recovery, conduct post-disaster needs assessments and plan and implement comprehensive recovery processes at all levels, while promoting innovative financing mechanisms and community participation.
