In 2014, GFDRR, in partnership with the EU, UNDP, and the World Bank, launched the Guide to Developing Disaster Recovery Frameworks (or DRF Guide). What makes the DRF Guide unique is that it offers a flexible methodology that countries can adapt to their own context in order to create a national framework that will help them rebuild and recover. The Guide not only helps governments create disaster-recovery frameworks to facilitate a smooth recovery process, but also aims to improve resilience for the future.
As a truly global, dynamic knowledge document, the Guide incorporates new lessons learned from recovery efforts. The DRF Guide also gleaned recovery experiences from eight country case studies – Bangladesh, Haiti, Lao PDR, Mozambique, Pakistan, Philippines, Senegal, and Yemen – and from other good practices from around the world.
The Guide to Developing Disaster Recovery Frameworks can be found here. Country-level Disaster Recovery Frameworks that have been produced using the DRF Guide methodology are listed below.
