States of rule oflaw, justice, security, property and citizenshiprecords and management capacities of publicaccounting and local level public managementbecome exposed to risk of deterioration because ofdamage and serious inadequacy in the face ofmuch higher volume of work demanded byrecovery and reconstruction needs. Disruption ofgovernance services and functions affect thecondition of the population already suffering fromthe direct effects of the disaster. The economic lossto the population is complex to estimate as itwould involve estimating economic value ofsecurity, justice and protection. Indirect loss togovernance institutions is estimated on notionalcosts of continued services and functions despiteloss to their facilities, records and reduced staffproductivity/availability in the damagequantification.The value of reconstruction needs is based on thecurrent government notified rates for contractors. Itwas challenging to gather information in precisecategories on the types of construction required,pre-flood condition and the nature of damages.Consequently, suitable assumptions and broadclassifications had to be used. In order to improveaccuracy of the estimates- statistically andfactually- sound assumptions have been used.Computations have been made in spreadsheet withstated assumptions, criteria and parameters clearlyidentified.Table-10: Recovery and Reconstruction Needs Assessment Summary(Rs. in Million)ProvinceReconstruction andRehabilitation/Repair costsCapacity BuildingTotalSindh 4,716.113 12.580 4,728.693Balochistan 36.572 3.700 40.272Total 4,752.685 16.280 4,768.965Source: World Bank and Asian Development Bank (ADB) Damage and Needs Assessment Report 2011Irrigation and Flood ManagementSindh’s agriculture accounts for 17.4 percent of theprovincial GDP and 50 percent of the employment.The Sindh irrigation system consists of Guddu,Sukkur and Kotri Barrages on the Indus River.These barrages divert water into fifteen canals -four at Guddu, seven at Sukkur and four at KotriBarrage commanding 2.5 million ha.
