5. Cleaning up at Ra High School, Ra, Viti Levu Source: Vlad Sokhin/World Bank SUMMARY OF RECOVERY, RECONSTRUCTION AND RESILIENCE NEEDS 118 Tropical Cyclone Winston, February 20, 2016
FIJI Post-Disaster Needs Assessment This PDNA identifies a number of key needs to support recovery and reconstruction objectives. The identification and valuation of disaster effects has been used for estimating disaster impacts at the sector, macro and micro levels, and the results of the effects and impact analyses have provided inputs for the quantification of recovery and reconstruction needs. Workshop discussions with key stakeholders, and interviews with affected people and government officials, have also supported the process. Recovery and reconstruction needs for all disaster-affected sectors of social and economic activity have been estimated within this PDNA. Recovery and reconstruction needs refer to both the private and public sectors, as both have been affected by the disaster and, thus, have also been included. This does not imply that the government should finance recovery and reconstruction for all stakeholders. Rather, it allows the government to quantify and finance those needs within its purview, and facilitate private sector recovery, for example, through interactions with the banking sector to ensure that the required credit lines are available. This approach will support the full recovery of social and economic activity by all disaster-affected sectors, people and enterprises. No one agency or group will be able to achieve recovery alone. Collaboration is essential to connect those who have a role in recovery, including those in government, business, cultural and other non-governmental sectors. By establishing and maintaining constructive relationships, agencies will be able to undertake initiatives that are coordinated, timely and enduring. Recovery activities will also need to be implemented in various ways. For example, some agencies will coordinate with each other on new initiatives and others will reorient or adapt business as usual. 5.1 Modalities for Recovery and Reconstruction A range of modalities for recovery and reconstruction exist, a combination of which may be comprised of: donations for recapitalization and reconstruction purposes; to credit-worthy private individuals and businesses for both working capital replenishment and reconstruction purposes; and until universal participation is eventually reached. The government will seek to facilitate private sector participation in recovery, given that damage and losses to the private sector are approximately three quarters of the total effects. 5.2 Overview of Recovery and Reconstruction Needs The total damage and losses for TC Winston is approximately F$1.99 billion (excluding the environment). Total recovery and reconstruction costs are estimated at F$1.96 billion (US$0.9 billion). Of this amount, F$0.22 billion (US$0.1 billion) will focus on recovery needs, F$1.71 billion (US$0.8 billion) will focus on reconstruction and F$31 million (US$14 million) will focus on resilience activities. Recovery and reconstruction efforts will initially focus on the most affected sectors, while also ensuring that other affected sectors are supported. Table 76 presents the recovery, reconstruction and resilience needs by sector. The majority of the activities are required in the short to medium term, with the objective of restoring stability to livelihoods and services in the various sectors. The identification of priority and rehabilitation efforts will be implemented by the relevant government agencies and statutory bodies with assistance from development partners. The timeframes for these interventions (indicated in Annex 2) are purely indicative, as institutional arrangements, financial support and other factors will influence the timetables and length of involvement (please refer to the individual sector assessments within Chapter 3 of this PDNA for further details). Shortterm needs will be developed further in the DRF. Medium- and long-term needs will be developed further in the National Development Plan. Tropical Cyclone Winston, February 20, 2016 119
