Abstract
The ready2respond (R2R) framework was
developed in reference to the role of the World Bank in
disaster risk reduction (DRR). 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 its fundamental goal of
eliminating poverty and promoting shared prosperity. This
report includes the assessment of the EP and R capacities of
Albania based on the R2R diagnostic methodology, as designed
by the World Bank and executed by prepared international
(PPI). Data from a desk review and from key informant
interviews conducted as part of an online field mission
generated findings on the five components of the diagnostic
- legal and institutional frameworks, information,
facilities, equipment, and personnel - which include 18
criteria, 72 indicators, and 360 attributes in total. 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
identifies and makes recommendations about key investments
that the World Bank and other stakeholders can consider as
they seek to strengthen EP and R capacities in Albania.
