What is PDNA - objectives The Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) is an internationally accepted methodology for determining the physical damages, economic losses, and costs of meeting recovery needs after a natural disaster through a government-led process. Objectives of PDNA 1 PDNA is a mechanism for joint assessment and recovery planning after a disaster 2 The joint assessment analyses the damage, economic loss, effects and impact of the disaster and identifies recovery needs across identified sectors 3 The assessment also highlights the macro-economic and human impacts of the disaster 4 The recovery needs identified helps to mobilize resources and develop a comprehensive recovery strategy
The PDNA is envisaged as a country owned and led process, supported by international agencies and other stakeholders By bringing together key stakeholders engaged in recovery, the PDNA aims to avoid duplication and harmonize assessment efforts The multi-stakeholder approach leads to the development of a single PDNA report that can be used as a tool for planning and programming recovery, as well for resource mobilization Why conduct a PDNA: Rationale

It should be Institutionalized as a part of the national DRR strategy. • Linked with Recovery: The PDNA is leading to recovery planning and programming. It should be done with a on focus on reducing risks and “building back better” • Right balance : PDNA has got the right balance between social and economic and infrastructure needs • Time bound :The PDNA was planned and completed within a stipulated timeframe. • Collaborative Effort : The PDNA process was a collaboration between ministries and national and international partners.
