Learning from the World Bank's experience of natural disaster related assistance
Gilber, Roy | Kreimer, Alcira
This report aims to provide an overview of the World Bank's experience in providing assistance for natural disasters, and in so doing, aims to lay the foundation for a new paradigm of natural disaster management, one that involves a shift away from a primarily reactive stance to a more proactive approach. The study identified 198 disaster related projects, which were divided between reconstruction projects and those which contained aspects of disaster mitigation. The projects are examined in regards to portfolio and project size, by region and country, types of natural disaster, sectors of intervention, project components, results of performance evaluation and lessons learned. The final section deals with contemporary priority issues in natural disaster management.
