Rapid Assessment for Resilient Recovery and ... - GFDRR

• Complete the resilience-related studies, with particular focus on the hydraulic
modeling for the river basin – in conjunction with other relevant agencies – and
progressively input these into the designs and documentation for the remaining
reconstruction works.
Strategy for Long-term Recovery and Reconstruction
• Continue with the reconstruction works, ensuring that supervision and quality
control are adequate; and
• Progressively adopt and mainstream the results of the resilience-related studies
into all road design and construction activities.

Policy Recommendations
In addition to these largely works specific activities presented in Table 36, the assessment
proposes a number of policy-related matters, reflecting the broader issues introduced in
the preparation section above. These are summarized in Table 37. The focus is the road
sector, but the suggested river basin modeling, climate change mitigation studies, and
hazard mapping activities have relevance across all sectors. Developing these would
benefit from the availability of substantial technical assistance support. It is understood
that Japan is already providing considerable support with some of this work. The
government might wish to discuss this further with its other development partners also, for
those areas not covered by the assistance from Japan.
