Abstract
The post disaster needs assessment
(PDNA) assesses the impact of the April 25, 2015 earthquake
in Nepal and defines a recovery strategy. In the analysis,
damage is defined as the cost to replace durable physical
assets (buildings, equipment, facilities, and machinery)
that were damaged or destroyed. Loss refers to changes in
financial flows due to the temporary absence of
infrastructure, increased or new demands (operational costs)
due to the disaster, lost revenues, higher expenditures, and
the cost of maintaining service provision. In addition to
reconstruction costs, recovery needs are identified to build
back better and are costed accordingly. Each sector has also
examined issues of vulnerability and marginalization, and
the need for specific targeting in the implementation of the
recovery strategy. The report covers the following sectors:
social; productive; infrastructure; and cross‐cutting.
