134 | El Salvador: Damage, Loss, and Needs Assesment Disaster Event GRAPH 17 Preparedness Humanitarian Assistance Early Recovery Recovery (rehabilitation and reconstruction) and Development time Source: UNDP/BCPR. Early recovery typically begins during the humanitarian assistance stage and has a duration of approximately 18 months. It seeks to meet the needs of the affected population and the government in the short and medium terms. It has three general purposes: a) b) c) To increase humanitarian operations. To support the population’s spontaneous recovery efforts. To help lay the groundwork for long-term recovery. Early recovery helps to restore and strengthen government capacity at all levels to manage and lead the recovery process and simultaneously restore communities’ capacity to recover from the disaster. 2. Early Recovery Needs Assessment in El Salvador due to the Effects of Hurricane Ida The early recovery needs assessment refers to the sectors of: a) governance and coordination for recovery, b) livelihoods and productive activities, c) food security, d) temporary housing, e) social services, and f) roads and basic infrastructure. General recommendations for the early recovery phase. The recommendations for organization and overall focus on the post-disaster recovery process, based on collected experiences, are the following: a) Because of the disastrous events that have occurred in El Salvador in recent decades, post-disaster reconstruction projects have been promoted, several of which have led to the reproduction of pre-disaster risk conditions. A key principle in the current recovery process should be to seek sustainability and integrated risk management in all investment decisions.
VI. ESTIMATE OF RECOVERY AND RECONSTRUCTION NEEDS | 135 b) c) d) e) f) g) h) i) j) k) l) m) The current recovery process must ensure the participation of the affected population, the solution of shortages, institutional development, and the strengthening of organizations under a sustainable development approach. Recovery must be an occasion to stimulate local economies and must be a tool of the policy for the equality and well-being of the most economically vulnerable population. The strengthening of governance, the coordination between ministries and sectoral agencies, between authorities at different territorial levels and the alliances between different sectors of society are an essential condition for promoting successful recovery processes. It is necessary to generate and ensure the full operation of coordination mechanisms among the National Committee for Rehabilitation and Reconstruction and local authorities and locallevel inter-institutional working teams, national NGOs, United Nations agencies and international cooperation agencies. United Nations agencies as well as other nongovernmental organizations have well-known experience in promotion and technical assistance in the humanitarian and development issues needed in recovery processes. Their contributions may be widely used on this occasion to leave behind permanent institutional capacities and developments in the country while responding to the current needs of the population. The technical agencies in charge of recovery planning and public infrastructure investment, such as the Technical Secretariat of the Presidency, the Ministry of Public Works and the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources, must strengthen their disaster risk management capacities and incorporate them in their development agenda. In early recovery, it is essential to accelerate the revitalization of the local economy through the generation of employment and income opportunities in support of local initiatives. The role of local governments as the key actors in their own development and recovery must be promoted, especially in the 43 municipalities that were most affected. In this regard, the preparation of recovery plans by similar areas may be a valuable mechanism to facilitate the unity of efforts and coordination. It is necessary to promote the responsible empowerment of the population affected by the disaster, which must play an active, leading role in the recovery process under a framework of rights and duties. It is appropriate to strengthen the role of women in the post-disaster recovery process, in decision making and in building a more inclusive society that strengthens the family unit and social protection networks. Transparency and accountability at different levels should be promoted. It is essential to preserve the knowledge and lessons learned during the process and, based on these experiences, seek to design a permanent post-disaster recovery policy for the country.
