5.4 Recommendations on when to move to long-term recovery and development The Government has not officially declared the emergency to be over, but the PDNA process showed general agreement among participants that the emergency is over and that the response is now (or should be) moving into the recovery and long-term development phases. Recovery starts immediately after a disaster but takes time. The time needed for recovery depends on the severity and scale of the disaster, the resilience of the affected community and the scale and depth of the reconstruction effort. The greater the impact of the disaster on livelihoods, the weaker the resilience of the community, and the less effective the recovery effort, the longer recovery will take. Determining when early recovery ends, requires a qualitative judgment on the ground in a specific natural disaster context. However, there are signals that can indicate the end of early recovery and the start of longer-term recovery, reconstruction and development. These include: • A shift in early recovery coordination from humanitarian-led coordination structures to Government-led coordination for recovery; • Emergence of a functioning, or caretaker, government in place with the minimum capacity to take charge of the recovery process, define long term national priorities, and deliver basic social services; • A transitional strategy/reconstruction/development plan in place around which the international community can align their support; • Basic conditions for the voluntary return/resettlement/reintegration of displaced populations have been established; • Communities have at least temporary livelihoods opportunities to meet the immediate requirements of their families; • Plans are underway for the construction of permanent housing; and • Minor infrastructure has been rehabilitated enabling movement and access to markets. It is important to set realistic time frames for the recovery phase coherent with the context of the disaster. Planners need to allow for time over-runs in their plans. Global experience shows that the recovery phase could last at least three to five years for major disasters. However, in the context of the 2009 Namibia flood experience and for programming purposes, the early recovery interventions proposed were formulated for completion within a time frame of up to 2 years. Given the sector priorities indicated above, it is recommended that the Government pursue a multi-sectoral approach to supporting communities and local authorities in their flood-recovery efforts. 44 Namibia POST-DISASTER NEEDS ASSESSMENT
