Notes

Summary:
The document is a government assessment of the aftermath of the major floods that plagued Pakistan in 2010 from mid-July to September. It provides a quantification of the direct physical damages to infrastructure, homes, and crops; indirect damages in terms of income losses due to production stoppages; and estimates for restoring services, and rebuilding back better. The requirements necessary to restore the livelihoods and economic productivity of the over 20 million affected are also highlighted. The document is intended to provide the Pakistani government, NGOs, and international donors a strategic framework for planning and prioritizing during the reconstruction effort. The assessment begins by outlining the various response efforts by the national government, civil society, the private sector, and the international aid community. It then delves into the political and social context within which the flooding occurred, highlighting how chronic political unrest along with the country’s general socioeconomic underdevelopment are compounding the problems facing the recovery effort. The document then presents how data was collected to determine damage estimates and the cost of rebuilding. Data was collected from seventy-five districts covering fifteen sectors of the economy. It was validated through field damage inspections, interviews with stakeholders, satellite imagery, and comparative pre- and post-disaster assessments of infrastructure and services affected. The document provides a summary of the damages and needs by sector, sector-specific reconstruction strategies, and general guiding principles for recovery. The government found that flooding caused $6.5 billion in direct damages, while indirect losses amounted to $3.6 billion, with overall damage estimated to be nearly 5.8 percent of Pakistan’s 2009-2010 GDP. The document contends that the government’s fiscal position is likely to suffer as a result of bearing the brunt of the recovery effort’s costs, while its trade deficit is likely to balloon as exports decline due to damaged crops, and imports to increase with the influx of food, medicine, fuel, construction materials, and machinery during the recovery process. It recommends that a national agency be established to centrally coordinate reconstruction, establish overall policies and standards, and facilitate communication between government agencies, international donors and NGOs. Implementation, on the other hand, should be done as locally as possible, so that policies can be adjusted to meet local conditions. ( English,English,English )
