November 8, 2022
The main objective of the Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA)1 is to support national authorities in the comprehensive assessment of the effects of a disaster, which include damage, loss and recovery needs, as well as an actionable disaster-recovery strategy. For this, a Disaster Recovery Framework (DRF) is prepared whose main objectives are: to operationalize the recovery strategy formulated in the PDNA; to realistically prioritize recovery efforts over a defined period of ime and; outline the national policy and the institutional, financial and operational aspects of the recovery process in order to mobilize financial and technical resources for its implementation. Following the 7.2-magnitude earthquake that devastated the three departments of the Southern Peninsula of the Republic of Haiti on 14 August 2021, a High-Level International Event (hereinafter the Conference) was organized on 16 February 2022 in Port-au, and the development of the PDNA and the DRF was coordinated by the Prime Minister’s Office and the Ministry of Planning and External Cooperation with the support of ministerial entities and the Tripartite Partnership was made up of the United Nations (UN), European Union (EU) and World Bank (WB), together with the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).
