National Early Recovery and Reconstruction Plan for Gaza 2014-2017_FINAL

655.3 Gaza Recovery and Reconstruction Implementation UnitGiven the breadth and complexity of activities that will be required for the response –touching all sectors, all geographical areas,and involving direct support to at least a quarter of the population - a new Implementation unit will be established to driveimplementation. The Unit will report to the Higher Inter-Ministerial Committee and work closely with Government ministriesand agencies, as well as the international community, civil society, and private sector, to ensure the execution of the priorityrecovery and reconstruction interventions in this Plan.In the immediate period, the Unit will work to support ministries, agencies, and municipalities with effective prioritization,detailed planning, and setting targets for the recovery and reconstruction efforts. Thereafter, the Unit will play an active role inobtaining regular status reports on the priority interventions under the Plan from the ministries, identifying challenges in theirimplementation, and strengthening co-ordination between sectors as well as ministries.The Unit will provide monthly status reports to the Council of Ministers through the Inter-Ministerial Committee during the firstsix months of recovery reconstruction, and move to a quarterly reporting basis in thereafter. The reports will focus on progressof the most critical elements of the Plan and recommendations regarding accelerating implementation. The Unit will also workwith ministries and agencies to ensure that decisions from the Council of Ministers are rapidly implemented.5.4 Detailed Damage Assessments and Action Planning at Sectorand Municipality LevelThis plan forms the skeleton of the recovery effort and is based on an initial assessment of the impact of the Israeli assault.Effective implementation will require significant further work in terms of detailed diagnosis, planning, and programming ofspecific response interventions in each sector.Detailed Damage and Needs Assessments are currently underway through Government ministries and agencies,overseen by the Technical Committee, and with the support of the UN, the World Bank, and the EU. These will form thebasis of detailed intervention planning for early recovery. The assessments will include baseline GIS data regarding allfacilities which were damaged.Detailed Action Planning will follow the finalization of the damage assessments, and will be undertaken at the sector levels incollaboration with national partners. It is expected that this process will validate many of the high level recommendations of thisreport and develop them further into specific projects and interventions. It will also propose additional measures to respond tothe breadth of damage and needs as they become better understood.The detailed action planning process will be completed in 2014. The output of this process will be a series of sector andmunicipality action plans, which will be consolidated into a Recovery and Rehabilitation Implementation Strategy. This ongoingplanning process will not hinder on-going and immediate implementation of immediate humanitarian measures and earlyrecovery interventions. These will be ongoing throughout.The sector plans and interventions will be underpinned by a clear Monitoring and Evaluation Framework, which will capturegoals, objectives, outputs and outcomes in each sector and intervention. These will also be linked to the budget and financialinputs required for delivery.Results monitoring at the sector level will be the primarily responsibility of line ministries/concerned budget entities, incooperation with national and international partners. MOPAD’s Monitoring and Evaluation department will compile sector leveldata into quarterly monitoring reports of the Plan. Financial input and results reports will be accessible on the MOPAD websiteand will be discussed by the Plan’s management structure as a tool for evidence-based decision making.
