Acknowledgements This report was prepared by the Government of the Republic of Namibia, with support from members of the international community, including the European Commission, the United Nations, the World Bank, and a wider network of development partners. In the weeks following the devastating floods of 2009, initial damage assessments were conducted by the Government of the Republic of Namibia, and assisted by a team from the United Nations. The results of these assessments provided a basis for immediate response and short-term recovery. After the initial humanitarian relief phase, the Government initiated a Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA), which was overseen by the Peter Katjavivi, Director General, National Planning Commission of the Office of the President, supported by Ruth Kagia, Country Director of the World Bank, Simon Nhongo, United Nations Resident Coordinator and Joyce Mends-Cole, Acting United Nations Resident Coordinator. The PDNA team is indebted to the initial evaluation teams for their guidance and assistance. The entire process was facilitated by the Global Facility for Disaster Recovery and Reconstruction (GFDRR) and the United Nations Development Programme’s Bureau for Crisis Prevention and Recovery, with substantial financial support from the European Commission’s “Instrument for Stability”, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the World Bank, the United Nations and the Government of the Republic of Namibia. PDNA Coordinators The PDNA was coordinated by Michael Mutonga (National Planning Commission) and Japhet Iitenge (Directorate for Disaster Risk Management) assisted by a team from the international community that was led by Jean-Christophe Carret (World Bank) and Seth Vordzorgbe (United Nations Development Programme).
