Following a disaster event, the affected BMC will modify its generic recovery strategy to take into account specific circumstances, especially the following factors: (a) the quickest possible alleviation of human suffering; (b) the severity of the impact of the disaster on the economic performance of the country, which may require the Government to modify its priorities and investment programmes, and the need for early re-establishment of economic activity; (c) the achievement of the best match between resources required for rehabilitation and available resources, in particular, financial and manpower resources; (d) the mitigation or removal of post-disaster threats to the affected population and early restoration of economic activity; and (e) the incorporation of appropriate risk reduction measures to reduce the country’s vulnerability to future disasters.

How to Apply:

A country desirous of receiving a RRL should make a request in writing to the President of CDB within six months of the disaster if it is a rapid-onset event such as a hurricane. For slow-onset events such as repeated floods or drought, the request should be made as soon as the affected country makes their own determination that significant economic and social damage has occurred. The request should be accompanied by the recovery strategy, an initial assessment of the impact as provided by the national ODM, an itemization of the intended use of the loan, and a preliminary budget.
On receipt of the request from the country, CDB will undertake due diligence as to the impact of the disaster, engage in discussions with the BMC as to their recovery strategy, and, wherever possible, mobilize a mission to visit the country to work with the BMC to identify project elements, to be incorporated into the RRL. Input will be sought from national agencies including the ODM so as to ensure that rehabilitation methods satisfy best mitigation practices, unless a temporary solution is required for economic or humanitarian reasons.
