The proposed Recovery Framework provides a sequenced, prioritized, programmatic yet flexible approach to recovery <strong>and</strong> reconstruction, aimed at building resilience against future floods
39 CHAPTER 3: Conclusion <strong>and</strong> Recommendations 3.1 <strong>Damage</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Loss</strong> Summary According to the data reported from each affected sector, the January 2013 disaster in the <strong>Seychelles</strong> resulted in SR 65.6 million (US$5.3 million) of damages <strong>and</strong> SR 38.9 million (US$3.1million) of losses (Table 3.1). In total, the over SR 104 million (US$8.4 million) is equivalent to 0.77% of the country’s GDP. The transport/road sector was affected the most (35.1%), followed by agriculture (17.1%), housing (14.1%), health (7.2%), l<strong>and</strong> use (5%), <strong>and</strong> environment <strong>and</strong> industry (4.3% each). The infrastructure sector incurred more damages than losses, as shown in figure 3.1. The social <strong>and</strong> productive sectors had a similar share of damages <strong>and</strong> losses. Both personal income <strong>and</strong> cross-cutting sectors have recorded losses, but no damages. Figure 3.1 <strong>Damage</strong> <strong>and</strong> losses 40 In summary, most of the flood damage was sustained by the infrastructure sector (38%), followed by productive sectors (26%), social sectors (24%), cross-cutting sectors (5%), fiscal budget (4%), <strong>and</strong> personal income (3%) (figure 3.2).

The report makes a distinction between recovery needs <strong>and</strong> reconstruction needs, with the former covering the restoration of economic flows, such as the livelihoods <strong>and</strong> governance systems <strong>and</strong> services, <strong>and</strong> the latter covering
