Planning COVID-19 recovery in Sahel countries: Officials and academics learn to assess needs, effects and impacts
Planning COVID-19 recovery in Sahel countries: Officials and academics learn to assess needs, effects and impacts
Posted December 7, 2020
By working closely with Stellenbosch University and the PeriPeri U network of African universities, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) strives to create, through the Sahel Resilience [ 1 ] and PDNA Roll Out III [ 2 ] projects financed by Sweden and the European Union (EU) respectively, a regional pool of trainers and a cadre of governments’ practitioners in COVID-19 Recovery Needs Assessment (CRNA) and Recovery Planning. (...) The Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) procedural and technical guidelines and the Disaster Recovery Framework (DRF) guide have been used to support government-led efforts to estimate the needs for recovery after a disaster and plan and implement recovery strategies to help rebuild the physical, social and human capital of disaster-affected communities.
(...) Strengthening Capacities for Crisis Assessment and Recovery Planning - PDNA Roll Out III

Assessment of the Consistency and Alignment of the Cost Recovery Methodology used by the Funds and Programmes Agencies with General Assembly Resolution 67-226
Assessment of the Consistency and Alignment of the Cost Recovery Methodology used by the Funds and Programmes Agencies with General Assembly Resolution 67-226 Approved by the Executive Boards
Informal consultation with members of the Executive Boards of UNDP/UNFPA, UNICEF and UN Women
23 August, 2016
Structure of Report
Background
Assessment of alignment and consistency
Review of Rates
Challenges facing agencies
Recommendations for improving cost recovery
Background
Declining core a major issue
Need to avoid cross-subsidization to preserve critical role of core in both programme and administration
Core as % of total income, 2013 and 2015
UNDP UNFPA UNICEF UN Women
17% 52% 22% 52%
2015 14% 47% 20% 44%
Background, continued
All costs must be recovered to ensure sustainability
Business models differ but harmonized approach to cost recovery has advantages:
Transparency
Reduced transaction costs
Eliminates rate competition among agencies
Promotes UN system coherence
Assessment of Methodology
General Assembly Resolution 67-226, section II:
Reaffirmed that full cost recovery is “the guiding principle governing the financing of non-programme costs;”
Stressed that core resources remain “the bedrock of operational activities for development of the United Nations System;” and
Called for a “simple, transparent and harmonized methodology for cost recovery.”
Assessment, continued
A simple, harmonized system requires that activities unique to individual agencies be excluded:
Agency specific functions and activities
The role of core as bedrock strongly implies that some basic agency functions continue to be excluded from cost recovery:
- Critical, cross-cutting functions
- Development Effectiveness
Review of Cost Recovery Rates
EB approved rate is 8%; has been applied with exceptions for:
Thematic funds
Programme country cost sharing
Existing agreements until renewed
Waivers to be approved by agency heads
Therefore, under the current rate structure it is not possible to achieve an overall cost recovery rate of 8%
Rates, continued
Effective cost recovery rates, 2013-2015 based on agency expenditures
UNDP UNFPA UNICEF UN Women
2013 5.9% 6.7% 5.5% 6.8%
2014 6.1% 7.0% 6.3% 6.5%
2015 6.3% 7.0% 6.5% 6.7%
Practices of other Multilateral Agencies
World Bank: Volume discounts for larger contributions to Recipient Executed Trust Funds
World Food Programme: 10% cost recovery rate for private sector contributions
UNOPS: Start-up and risk built in as direct costs in all programmes
Challenges Faced by Agencies
Steadily declining core funding affects both programme and administrative operations
Some donors unwilling to include all direct costs in programmes; others unwilling or unable to pay the standard cost recovery rates
Longer-term institutional agreements locked into lower cost recovery rates
Recommendations
Agencies and funding partners should work together to:
reverse the decline in core funding;
ensure that all direct costs are included in programmes; each agency should enhance instruments to provide transparency and help assure donors of fair treatment
minimize waivers and review longer-term agreements with the goal of applying the standard rate wherever possible
Recommendations, continued
Agencies should develop policies for providing volume discounts for large contributions and perhaps premium rates for those small contributions with high management costs
Security risk should be factored into programme funding, either as direct costs or as a standard rate add-on.

The goal is to meet national, regional and international needs in the post-COVID-19 recovery phase.
Drawing on its longstanding experience with industrial upgrading and modernization of enterprises and institutions, UNIDO’s Department of Digitalization, Technology and Innovation will use the COVID-19 Industrial Recovery Programme ( CIRP) as a tool to support the sustainable and inclusive recovery of the industrial sector and mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic effects through increased innovation.
(...) It consists of five phases: (i) assessment and analysis of the impact of COVID-19 on the industrial sector, (ii) consensus building, (iii) developing a national industrial recovery plan, (iv) piloting national industrial sector recovery, and (v) replicating pilot success to achieve national industrial sector recovery.
(...) UNIDO supports regional organizations to develop and implement appropriate regional industrial recovery plans comparable to those to be developed by national governments (and aligned and coordinated with such national industrial recovery plans), so as to ensure the development of intra-regional value chains of strategic importance.

This document attempts to fill knowledge gaps regarding the role of the private sector in disaster recovery and draws from the wider body of knowledge and from documented experiences of past and present disaster planning and recovery. This guide is intended for use by local, regional, and national government policymakers, planners, operational staff, and others interested or engaged in facilitating a more risk-reducing recovery process.
The publication provides lessons through the analysis of case studies regarding the following issues:
the disaster recovery role of the private sectors (p. 35-55);
engaging the private sector in disaster recovery (p. 56-97);
supporting private sector recovery (p. 98-136).

Aligning NDCs with Green Recovery
March 3, 2022
Nearly two years into the COVID-19 pandemic, the world is experiencing a protracted and divergent recovery. The latest budget increases allocated to environmentally positive recovery measures amount to only 21 percent of the total sums allocated to COVID-19 economic recovery. (...) This calculation shows that the recovery will follow a business-as-usual path, rather than bringing us closer to the green transition needed.
