Abstract
The framework for ready2respond (R2R)
was developed in reference to the role of the World Bank in
disaster risk reduction. While strengthening emergency
preparedness and response (EP and R) is a sound investment
on its own, it also supports the World Bank Group’s broader
risk reduction efforts and fundamental goal of eliminating
poverty and promoting shared prosperity. This report
includes the assessment of the EP and R capacities of Bosnia
and Herzegovina based on the R2R diagnostic methodology, as
designed by the World Bank and executed by prepared
international (PPI). Data from the desk review and key
informant interviews in country generated findings on all
five core components of the diagnostic - legal and
institutional frameworks, information, facilities,
equipment, and personnel - which include 18 criteria, 72
indicators, and 360 attributes. In the diagnostic, these 360
attributes are scored with either 0 (not in place) or 1 (in
place). The diagnostic identifies missing elements so that
they can be acknowledged as capacity development needs and
opportunities. This report provides a summary of the EP and
R capacities per component, as assessed by PPI in the first
half of 2020. The full assessment report, structured in
accordance with the R2R methodology, can be found in annex
1. The report also makes key investment recommendations,
which have been identified for the World Bank and other
stakeholders to consider as they work to strengthen EP and R
capacities in the country.
