Description

UA 2009: Building government capacity for recurring war damage and recovery cost assessment Russia's invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022 has become the largest military conflict in Europe since the Second World War. The Government of Ukraine has requested technical support to calculate the damages caused by the war and to use this data for effective recovery planning. The assistance will help develop a standardised set of methodologies for war damage assessment, cross-government capacity building and coordination, and will provide expert advisory and policy recommendations on integrating the damage assessment into the GoU's recovery planning. Because of the volatility and unpredictability of the situation, the project will be implemented in two phases (August-November 2022, November 2022-March 2023). Phase 1 will be dedicated to the analysis of the relevant international practices of damages assessment and recovery planning, consultations with stakeholders, development of a reporting framework, training of the civil servants in designated state institutions on data collection and storage, and initial recommendations on integration of the data on the damages into recovery planning. During the next phase the team will finalise the set of methodologies for war damage assessment, continue with capacity building of the state institutions, conduct data collection pilots, and provide recommendations on designing a product management plan for adapting an off-the-shelf GIS solution for the needs of Ukraine's recovery mapping. Project objectives: The MF will provide tailored technical assistance to the GoU that will focus on designing a standardised set of methodologies for collecting information about war damages and losses, capacity building to equip civil servants across the government with tools and capacity to collect and analyse the data, and expert advice based on the best international practice on how to integrate the assessment of war damages and losses in the GoU policy documents, such as post-war recovery plans and legal claims to the international courts. The MF will work collaboratively with the GoU and facilitate dialogue with government stakeholders, members of the National Recovery Council, civil society and international donors to strengthen the GoU evidence-based approach to ensure suggested policies and donor support stay relevant to the context, inclusive and conflict-sensitive.
