STEP 1 Implementing Sector-Level Recovery Programmes

After (inter)sectoral strategies are developed, the ‘lead agency’ undertakes a programme-by-programme approach with activities summarized in the ‘general steps’, below:

Box 20: General Steps of Recovery Programme-by-Programme Approach

For instance, in drought-prone areas where pastoralists have sold off livestock as a way of coping with the impact of the extreme weather event, recovery programming can help herders to purchase livestock quickly (replacement) so that they are not depleted of their assets and can restart their businesses swiftly. If herders had livestock insurance and received early warnings, the forecast-based payout could enable them to buy fodder before animals die (e.g. Red Cross programme, Bangladesh).
