3. Analysis of Needs by Sectors for Early Recovery
a) Governance and Coordination
The magnitude, territorial extent and multiple dimensions of the social and productive activities involved
in the disaster require a government support response that facilitates interaction and collaboration among
national, departmental and local authorities, as well as with national and international nongovernmental
support agencies and civil society agencies.
To ensure the governance of the recovery process, it is necessary to encourage national authorities,
the governments of San Salvador, Cuscatlán, La Libertad, San Vicente and La Paz, as well as the 43 local
governments of the most affected areas, to strengthen their institutional, conceptual, technical, financial
and human capacities for the proper planning, organization and monitoring of their recovery.
It is essential to establish mechanisms for the adequate coordination of efforts and the design of
national and territorial recovery plans that allow guidelines to be set for aligned and comprehensive actions.
The National Committee for Rehabilitation and Reconstruction constitutes the highest-level scenario
for the coordination of national efforts, and it is therefore worthwhile to seek the design and monitoring
of the Recovery Plan and the establishment of coordination committees in the five departments that were
most affected.
In addition, the early recovery process demands the creation of forums for communication and coordination
with the affected communities, as well as with social organizations, nongovernmental agencies
and government authorities.
