Early Recovery M

1
Early Recovery ME in Myanmar

• Groupe URD team
• K. Levy, J. Pasquet and D. Kauffmann
• Mission commissioned by the BCPR/UNDP

2
Expected outputs

• Common set of indicators to monitor and assess
  the results and impacts of Early Recovery
• Recommendations to establish a Monitoring
  Evaluation System for Early Recovery

3
Constraints and limits during field mission (26
August 6 September 2008)

• Short timing
• Early Recovery strategic framework still in draft
• Virtually no opportunity for field visits

4
Information sources

• Lessons learned from previous natural disaster
  (e.g. TRIAMS, Pakistan) and Quality method
  (Quality COMPAS)
• Key informants in Yangon (Heads of clusters,
  NGOs, UN agencies, etc)
• Key informants and project teams in Bogale (NGOs,
  UNDP, OCHA)

5
Methodology

• Define a common set of criteria as a quality
  framework for Early Recovery in post-Nargis
  context
• Define related indicators (mainly outcome and
  impact) to measure each criterion
• Crosscheck the indicators with existing ones
  (MIMU, IMM, VTA, FTS)

Set of criteria and indicators

• to measure the impacts of Early Recovery
  interventions in post-Nargis context

10
B populations meet their food needs by
themselves.
C - access to and use of preexisting basic
infrastructures and, social services
psychosocial support
A - optimal geographic coverage
D - populations have shelter and are less
vulnerable to disaster than before.
K - integrated approach to cover the diversity of
needs.
EARLY RECOVERY INTERVENTIONS
E - positive impacts on communities (local
society and economy).
J - continuously adjusted when contexts and needs
evolve or are re-evaluated.
F - minimum negative impact on the environment,
social cohesion and economic networks and
people's safety and psychological condition.
I - based on preexisting local capacities and
take into account existing coping strategies.
G - minimum inequality and inequity between
cyclone-affected and non-affected areas and

H - inequalities and inequities between
different social categories taken into account.

Typology of indicators

Process
Critical Events
12
Examples of indicators criterion D
Process
D21 - of projects screened that include DRR
principles throughout the project cycle, by
village track
D22 - of houses built which meet applicable
hazard-resistance standards, by village track /
village
D33 - of households with basic knowledge of
disaster preparedness and response
D11 - of persons who perceive that they are
safe, by gender and age group
Critical Events
DCE1 - Occurrence of self-reconstruction or
self-rehabilitation initiatives, by village track
/ village
13
WAY FORWARD
14
Revise and validate indicators at cluster level
(ongoing)

• What is useful for decision making or for
  accountability?
• What is relevant?
• What is feasible?
• What is missing?

CHALLENGES for the development of ER ME system
in Myanmar

• Talking about recovery is not  politically
  correct 
• Early recovery is still underfunded
• (41 of the appeal. Source OCHA full report 12
  sept 08 / FTS)
• TCG has one year mandate (what about PR
  afterwards?)
