Executive Summary
Mainstreaming “build back better” in recovery, rehabilitation, and reconstruction was expressed during the Stakeholders’ Consultation, 9-10 December 2014 in Dhaka. In response to this, the Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief (MoDMR), the Build Back Better Foundation (BBBF), the United Nations Development Programme in Bangladesh (UNDP), and the International Recovery Platform (IRP) had jointly organized a three-day Workshop on Disaster Recovery Planning, 25-27 May 2015 at CIRDAP Auditorium, Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Gathering over 50 high level and technical delegations from various ministries of the government, universities, development partner organizations, NGOs, and private sector, the event discussed recovery agenda in Bangladesh in the context of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. It also explored options to strengthen existing policy frameworks, including amendments to the Disaster Management Act of 2012, Standing Orders on Disaster, and the National Plan for Disaster Risk Reduction.
The event was inaugurated by Mr. Mofazzal Hossain Chowdhury Maya Bir Bikram MP, Honorable Minister, Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief (MoDMR), Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh, who expressed commitment to pursue effective disaster management programs by incorporating ‘build back better’. At the closing, Mr. Hasanul Haq Inu MP, Honorable Minister, Ministry of Information, assured the participants that build back better efforts in recovery, rehabilitation, and reconstruction will be advocated in Bangladesh through the support of the ministry and media organizations.
The main outcome of the workshop was the identification of recovery issues experienced in Bangladesh along with the initial listing of strategies and actions on various sectors including infrastructure, housing, livelihoods, health and psychosocial, and environment. The strategies and action will be integrated in the proposed Pre-Disaster Recovery Plan of Bangladesh. On top of this, the event was a rare occasion to bring together a wide array of inter-ministerial delegates as well as disaster risk reduction practitioners and experts who were further oriented on the ‘build back better’ options in the context of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. The presence of key ministers and their respective secretaries indicated positive sign of putting in place policies and programs to further mainstream recovery agendas such as establishing a national recovery platform, recommending recovery responsibilities for the Inter-Ministerial Disaster Management Coordinating Council to be articulated in the SOD, and endorsing the Bangladesh Disaster Recovery Action Plan.
On the bases of the workshop outcomes, the following next steps were identified. Firstly, a parliamentary meeting on ‘build back better’ will be organized at the Bangladesh Parliament to discuss disaster risk reduction and recovery issues that require legal support and legislation. Secondly, the MoDMR through the support of UNDP Bangladesh will take forward the initial strategies and actions for Pre-Disaster Recovery Plan by organizing a writeshop. Finally, new programs and projects to promote build back better shall be proposed by BBBF in collaboration with MoDMR, UNDP, and other relevant stakeholders. The initial proposals include: (i) campaign for safe schools, (ii) building critical mass of local recovery experts and volunteers, (iii) partnership between local universities and international knowledge hubs to promote recovery agenda in school curricula as well as facilitate knowledge-sharing and exchange, and (iv) partnership with media in increasing level of awareness on build back better.

Background 1. The need to mainstream and articulate “build back better” in recovery, rehabilitation, and
reconstruction was expressed during the Stakeholders’ Consultation, 9-10 December 2014 in Dhaka. In response to this, the Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief (MoDMR), the Build Back Better Foundation (BBBF), the United Nations Development Programme in Bangladesh (UNDP), and the International Recovery Platform (IRP) had jointly organized a three-day Workshop on Disaster Recovery Planning, 25-27 May 2015 at CIRDAP Auditorium, Dhaka, Bangladesh.
2. The accumulated lessons from past experiences serve as rationale for proposing key actions on
recovery, including the development of disaster recovery plan (pre and post). Firstly, while governments have implemented large-scale recovery and reconstruction programs in the wake of certain disasters, success hinges upon the availability of and access to skills, knowledge and resources from a remarkably diverse community of stakeholders. Secondly, despite ongoing and expanding efforts to minimize hazard impacts through disaster risk reduction, risks cannot always be completely eliminated. The recovery function remains relevant and necessary given that catastrophic events continue to occur at an alarming frequency. Finally, the post-disaster recovery response has been increasingly plagued by significant time-gaps, a lack of continuous attention by international and national partners, declining resource commitments and lack of proper analyses of reasons for failure. Often, recovery momentum tends to slow following post-disaster assessments, making it hard to plan and implement later stages of recovery and reconstruction. Even with so many capacity building efforts, nations still face serious limitations in terms of planning and implementing recovery processes.
3. The main objective of the workshop was to provide technical assistance in formulating the National Recovery Plan of Bangladesh. Along with experts from its member organizations, IRP shared a collection of global experiences and lessons on disaster recovery, which served as reference in establishing a temporal link between preparedness, recovery, and sustainable development. The workshop was also aimed at strengthening the local capacities for integrating disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) in disaster recovery planning and long-term development programming (Annex 1).
4. The workshop was expected to benefit countries in addressing the gaps experienced in recovery.
In the case of Bangladesh, the Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief (MoDMR) recognized the need for strategic options that will further reduce the impacts of disaster. The MoDMR advocates the “build back better” principle of recovery to seize the opportunity to correct the limitations and failures of previous practices, policies, and programs. As pointed out during the first Stakeholders Consultation Workshop on Disaster Recovery Planning, 9-10 December 2014, Bangladesh is experiencing recovery gaps in knowledge, practice, and resource. First, the concept of recovery is not yet fully integrated in the policies and planning instruments of the Government such that recovery is not clearly articulated in the Standing Orders on Disaster (SOD of April 2010) and National Plan for Disaster Management (2010-2015). Second, recovery plans and efforts are not yet fully aligned with the long-term development agenda. For instance, the Disaster Management Act of 2012 does not stipulate predictable funding for recovery. Third, stakeholders and other key actors are not yet fully engaged and coordinated to take on recovery

functions after a disaster – as there is no existing mechanism for cooperation in the context of recovery and Build Back Better. The workshop provided guidance in addressing these challenges.
5. Among the specific objectives of the workshop, included:
Key government officials and relevant stakeholders are oriented with recovery concepts, including “build back better”, case studies, and tools (e.g. guidance notes) – specifically in relation to Priority 4 of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction
Participants will be able to deliberate the strategies and actions on recovery, and reflect these in drafting the Pre-Disaster Recovery Plan of Bangladesh
Participants will be able to come up with list of responsibilities on recovery to be recommended for integration in the responsibilities of the Inter-Ministerial Disaster Management Coordination Committee (IMDCC) in the Standing Orders on Disaster (SOD) which is now an integral part of the Disaster Management Act 2012
Participants will be able to review and update the Bangladesh Disaster Recovery Action Plan (December 2014) based on the Sendai Framework
6. IRP, on the basis of its mandate, seeks to contribute to the enhancement of post-disaster recovery operations by developing essential capacities through training, experience sharing, and technical exchanges. It addresses the demands of governments, local officials, and leaders who are entrusted with the responsibilities for planning, managing, and executing resilient disaster reduction and recovery activities. More importantly, IRP as mentioned in the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction is an international mechanism for sharing of knowledge and experience on recovery among countries and all relevant stakeholders.
7. Various aspects of recovery planning were discussed during the three-day workshop
through the facilitation of IRP, and its pool of experts from the UNISDR, ADRC, Hyogo Prefecture, UNOPS, GFDRR, and UNDP. It was expected that the beneficiaries of the workshop could have a seamless access to the expertise within the region, and plan for a better integration of risk reduction concerns in all phases of the recovery process that builds on the existing assessment of risks. Additionally, the workshop was generally aimed at ensuring that risk reduction approaches are systematically incorporated into the design of emergency preparedness, response, and recovery programs , and aligned with Priority 4 of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction.
8. The Guidance Notes on Recovery, developed by IRP, served as based material for the
workshop. It was tailored to fit the hazards such as cyclone, which is recurring event in Bangladesh. It also served as an additional tool for policymakers and planners to effectively address the issues on recovery. The guidance notes, which compile global case studies on recovery, were explained at the workshop because experiences from large-scale disasters indicate that national and/or local governments are often ill-prepared to carry out the demanding tasks of planning for effective long term recovery and development. Moreover, governments need to strengthen its capacity in recovery planning because oftentimes the capacity is overwhelmed in the relief and response efforts.

9. The workshop module on recovery planning (Annex 2), developed on the basis of the guidance notes, was adopted to facilitate the workshop. This module covered 11 recovery sectors (i.e. climate change, environment, gender, governance, health, infrastructure, livelihood, pre-disaster recovery planning, psycho-social, shelter, and telling live lessons) where capacity of government officials, who are engaged in long-term recovery, can be strengthened. The cases are continually updated and tailored to specific contexts.
Organizing Partners 10. With funding support primarily from the Cabinet Office of Japan and UNISDR, IRP
through the Build Back Better Foundation (BBBF) in Bangladesh had mobilized participants from government agencies, universities, international development organizations, and NGOs.
11. The workshop built on the substantial experience of government officials, aiming to provide an opportunity for improved understanding and abilities to incorporate risk reduction into recovery (Annex 3). It also contributes to: (i) build a critical mass of professionals in national governments oriented towards resilient recovery who can inform the recovery processes in the country as well as advocate for “build back better”, (ii) provide guidance for officials managing recovery programs through the benefit of prior global experiences, (iii) facilitate support for more effective management of recovery after major disasters, and (iv) disseminate references and resources on recovery, reflecting the best of global knowledge.
12. The BBBF is the pivotal institutions in Bangladesh leading to the conduct of the
workshop. With the slogan, “Build Better Now or Build Back Better Then”, BBBF through the leadership of Dr. Akram H. Chowdhury, former Member of Parliament in Bangladesh, as Founding Executive Chairperson works to localize the build back better concept as advocated in the Sendai Framework. The vision of BBBF is to act as the premier institution that creates and promotes new paths to leaders in resilience in Bangladesh through holistic recovery and build back better approaches and methodologies. Its mission is to coordinate and support the mainstreaming of build back better in recovery, reconstruction, rehabilitation, and in all development sectors. It strives to champion the advocacy of making build back better a national policy, and to serve as facilitator in promoting synergy for practical actions.
13. Staffers at BBBF have exposures in the reconstruction processes, recovery planning,
public investment systems, and preparedness or contingency planning that are crucial in the workshop. With support of UNDP Bangladesh, the agenda was prepared and the participants were mobilized.

18. Participants have been engaged in recovery planning from supporting departments such as public works, health, education, and environment. In addition, officials from international and other national agencies also participated, making sure that the policymaking process encapsulates local knowledge, regional experience, and international expertise.
19. The primary participants were functionaries from national government who would
create a standby capacity that is available to local governments desiring disaster recovery planning support. Additionally, partners from UNISDR, GFDRR, Hyogo, UNOPS, UNDP, OCHA, among others also participated to further contribute in the discussions and make sure that partners’ knowledge and experiences are shared in the workshop.
20. The participants of the workshop are expected to contribute in (i) building a critical mass
of professionals in country governments oriented towards resilient recovery, and who can inform the recovery processes in the country as well as advocate for “build back better”, (ii) improving the knowledge in managing recovery programs based on lessons learned from prior global experiences, (iii) improving global support for more effective management of recovery after major disasters, and (iv) disseminating additional resources on recovery, reflecting the best of global knowledge, which can assist the participants in recovery project development and execution.
Workshop Activities 21. The three-day workshop comprised mainly of: (i) sharing of stories on recovery
initiatives along various sectors; (ii) panel discussions, and (iii) doing group exercises on recovery planning.
22. At the workshop, the participants were exposed to various options to “build back better”
after a disaster through a wide array of strategies and actions from the Guidance Notes on Recovery, which served as options for the government to adopt, if it suits to the local contexts. The lessons on recovery, as compiled by IRP from various experiences around the globe, provided an additional input to build on the existing initiatives of the national government. At the end of the workshop, the participants came up with an proposed strategies and actions to be integrated in the National Pre-Disaster Recovery Plan of Bangladesh, including list of responsible offices/organizations to implement the proposed actions.
Sharing of Case Studies 23. The case studies covered different sectors of recovery as reflected in the workshop
schedule. Lessons drawn from specific case were explained by IRP resource persons/consultants with the aid of PowerPoint presentation. Most of the case studies

Recovery Planning Exercises 27. Based on their discussions for each recovery sector, the teams came up with basic
principles and guidance for formulating a recovery plan. The recovery plan mentioned the key challenges, the basic approach to recovery, and some of options to address the issues. The proposed strategies and actions for recovery plan are shown in Annex 7.
28. Participants were grouped into teams during the workshops. Each team was given
opportunity to present their outputs to other teams at the plenary. During the group presentation, it was assumed that the Minister and key officials of the Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief was attending the briefing. The group presentation provided opportunity for all groups to share and ask questions regarding their recommended strategies and actions.
Results Evaluation 29. Feedback on various aspects of the workshop was drawn from the participants through
informal interactions between staff and key partners who jointly organized the workshop. Participants reported that the workshop addressed knowledge gaps on recovery and reinforced the governments’ existing recovery planning initiatives.
30. Overall, the participants expressed that the case studies and examples shared at the
workshops were useful for the planning exercises. As participants had inter-ministerial representation, the workshop anticipated rolling out initiatives and inter-ministerial coordination in recovery planning. The level of participation indicated that the workshop attracted the right audience to coordinate long-term recovery efforts. For coordination purposes, the names of participants were added in IRP’s Roster of Experts. They will receive regular updates, including new cases and lessons on recovery through the IRP Secretariat.
Capacity 31. The workshop enriched participants’ knowledge of integrating disaster recovery
planning into their national DRR plans and other planning/programming instruments. The workshop resulted into discussions among representatives from government agencies, national platforms, and IRP partners to further share knowledge and exchange information for recovery planning.
32. Technical support will be further coordinated with the Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief, BBBF, and the participants, if needed.

Way Forward 33. On the bases of the workshop outcomes, the following next steps were identified. Firstly,
a parliamentary meeting on ‘build back better’ will be organized at the Bangladesh Parliament to discuss disaster risk reduction and recovery issues that require legal support and legislation. Under the auspices of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on the Ministry of MoDMR and along with the Build Back Better Foundation (BBBF) of the ISRSDRR, the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), the Islamic Relief, and the IRP, the parliamentary meeting is proposed on 16 June 2015.
34. Secondly, the MoDMR through the support of UNDP Bangladesh will take forward the
initial strategies and actions for Pre-Disaster Recovery Plan by organizing a writeshop on the first week of August 2015. The expected outcome of the writeshop is a draft Pre-Disaster Recovery Plan of Bangladesh which will be coordinated by the MoDMR. Relevant ministries, agencies, and stakeholders are expected to participate in this event.
35. Thirdly, MoDMR with technical assistance from BBBF and UNDP will advocate
integration of recovery agendas in existing policy and planning instruments in Bangladesh, including the Delta Plan that is facilitated by the Ministry of Planning.
36. Fourthly, MoDMR with the support from UNDP and BBBF shall take further steps to
advocate in linking up key stakeholders in Bangladesh so that the Inter-Ministerial Disaster Coordinating Council (IMDCC) is convened and recovery agenda is integrated in the plans. Among the specific recommendations is the establishment of a National Recovery Platform and the creation of a dedicated recovery capacity and cell within MoDMR.
37. Finally, new programs and projects to promote build back better shall be proposed by
BBBF in collaboration with MoDMR, UNDP, and other relevant stakeholders. The initial proposals include: (i) campaign for safe schools, (ii) building critical mass of local recovery experts and volunteers, (iii) partnership between local universities and international knowledge hubs to promote recovery agenda in school curricula as well as facilitate knowledge-sharing and exchange, and (iv) partnership with media in increasing level of awareness among policymakers, practitioners, and communities on recovery (detailed report follows).
38. This report, as compiled by IRP, will be shared to Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief, BBBF, and all as reference for recovery planning exercise in the future – specifically the section on outputs (i.e. proposed strategies and actions).

Workshop on Disaster Recovery Planning
Jointly Organized by:
Ministry of Disaster Management & Relief (MoDMR)
International Recovery Platform (IRP)
Build Back Better Foundation (BBBF)
UNDP Bangladesh
CIRDAP Auditorium, Dhaka
25-27 May 2015
Rationale
The concept of “Build Back Better” is emphasized in the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk
Reduction (SFDRR), which was adopted at the World Conference on Disaster Risk
Reduction(3WCDRR) in March 2015 in Sendai, Japan. In support of implementing Priority 4 of
the Framework, the International Recovery Platform (IRP) serves as an international mechanism
for sharing of experience and learning among countries and all relevant stakeholders.
The accumulated lessons from past experiences serve as rationale for proposing key actions on
recovery, including the development of disaster recovery plan (pre and post). Firstly, while
governments have implemented large-scale recovery and reconstruction programs in the wake of
certain disasters, success hinges upon the availability of and access to skills, knowledge and
resources from a remarkably diverse community of stakeholders. Secondly, despite ongoing and
expanding efforts to minimize hazard impacts through disaster risk reduction, risks cannot
always be completely eliminated. The recovery function remains relevant and necessary given
that catastrophic events continue to occur at an alarming frequency. Finally, the post-disaster
recovery response has been increasingly plagued by significant time-gaps, a lack of continuous
attention by international and national partners, declining resource commitments and lack of
proper analyses of reasons for failure. Often, recovery momentum tends to slow following post-
disaster assessments, making it hard to plan and implement later stages of recovery and
reconstruction. Even with so many capacity building efforts, nations still face serious limitations
in terms of planning and implementing recovery processes.
Against this backdrop, a workshop on disaster recovery planning is expected to benefit countries
in addressing the gaps experienced in recovery. In the case of Bangladesh, the Ministry of
Disaster Management and Relief (MoDMR) recognized the need for strategic options that will
further reduce the impacts of disaster. The MoDMR advocates the “build back better” principle
of recovery to seize the opportunity to correct the limitations and failures of previous practices,
policies, and programs. As pointed out during the first Stakeholders Consultation Workshop on
Disaster Recovery Planning, 9-10 December 2014, Bangladesh is experiencing recovery gaps in
knowledge, practice, and resource. First, the concept of recovery is not yet fully integrated in the
policies and planning instruments of the Government such that recovery is not clearly articulated
in the Standing Orders on Disaster (SOD)(April 2010) and National Plan for Disaster
Management(2010-2015). Second, recovery plans and efforts are not yet fully aligned with the
long-term development agenda. For instance, the Disaster Management Act of 2012 does not
stipulate predictable funding for recovery. Third, stakeholders and other key actors are not yet
fully engaged and coordinated to take on recovery functions after a disaster – as there is no
existing mechanism for cooperation in the context of recovery and Build Back Better. The
workshop is expected to provide guidance on addressing these challenges.

Objectives
This three-day event is expected to achieve the following objectives:
1. Key government officials and relevant stakeholders are oriented with recovery concepts,
including “build back better”, case studies, and tools (e.g. guidance notes) – specifically in
relation to Priority 4 of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction
2. Participants will be able to deliberate the strategies and actions on recovery, and reflect these
in drafting the Pre-Disaster Recovery Plan of Bangladesh
3. Participants will be able to come up with list of responsibilities on recovery to be

Management Coordination Committee (IMDCC) in the Standing Orders on Disaster (SOD)
which is now an integral part of the Disaster Management Act 2012
4. Participants will be able to review and update the Bangladesh Disaster Recovery Action Plan
(December 2014) based on the Sendai Framework
The workshop builds on the substantial experience of government officials, aiming to provide an
opportunity for improved understanding and abilities to incorporate risk reduction into recovery.
It also contributes to: (i) build a critical mass of professionals in national governments oriented
towards resilient recovery who can inform the recovery processes in the country as well as
advocate for “build back better”, (ii) provide guidance for officials managing recovery programs
through the benefit of prior global experiences, (iii) facilitate support for more effective
management of recovery after major disasters, and (iv) disseminate references and resources on
recovery, reflecting the best of global knowledge.
Expected Outcomes
