FOREWORD
FOREWORD
Council of Europe Development Bank (CEB)
On behalf of the UNCT in Serbia we are pleased to present a report on the progress of the activities and projects that the UNCT
and IFIs have delivered to the Government of Serbia in their response to the extraordinary needs created by the May floods.
The first edition of our booklet presented in detail all the activities that our team carried out with a view of addressing the
emergency and humanitarian relief activities.
The edition that you will read at this point presents activities that are focused towards short and medium term recovery of the
country, in line with the Recovery Needs Assessment that we conducted jointly with the Government of Serbia, World Bank and
the European Union during June-July 2014.
Our team will ensure that long term recovery and reconstruction needs in line with the Recovery Needs Assessment report are
well represented and included in the United Nations Development Assistance Framework 2016-2020 (UNDAF), which our team
is currently preparing with the Government of Serbia.
We would like to acknowledge the tremendous cooperation that we have received from all our national and international
partners involved in providing support to the country’s recovery activities. This document is representative of the element of the
recovery work that is implemented by the UN Country Team and International Financial Institutions in coordination with all other
partners and sister organizations.
Our common goal is to ensure human security for all people in Serbia, even in the case of exceptional natural disasters.

In this context, the CEB’s Administrative Council approved on 16 June 2014 the re-allocation of an active 32 million Euros Project
Loan to partially finance the construction and/or rehabilitation of houses and/or infrastructure damaged by the floods. The
Administrative Council also approved an interest rate subsidy of 1 million Euros in favour of the restructured Project Loan, in an
effort to increase at maximum the affordability for the loan and decrease the pressure on the budget. Disbursements for this
restructured Project Loan are set to start during the following months.
Immediately after the spring 2014 floods in Serbia, the CEB services and the Serbian authorities agreed on
restructuring the objectives of several active loans with an accelerated disbursement option as a response to the
reconstruction needs in the country.

European Bank for Reconstruction
and Development (EBRD)
In public sector and broad infrastructure repairs, the EBRD is working to re-allocate funds from on-going projects, which have
not been fully disbursed:
27 million Euros financing extended by the EBRD for road rehabilitation will be reallocated for this purpose.
Part of the funds from a 95 million Euros railways project in Serbia can be redirected to repairing damaged tracks.
In the energy sector: partial reallocation of 100 million Euros of undisbursed commitments to Serbia Gas, and possibly a new line
for Electric Power industry of Serbia (EPS) (for up to 200 million Euros).
In the municipal sector: restructuring of existing exposures to meet extraordinary expenditures caused by the floods.
In the private sector, the EBRD is in the position to provide extra working capital for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). This
can be done directly or through financial intermediaries:
In June, the EBRD launched its Western Balkans Finance Framework IV (WBFFIV) up to 500 million Euros, a size calibrated
specifically to respond also to private credit demand related to flood damages. The first financing of up to 50 million Euros under
WBFF IV has been extended to UniCredit Bank Serbia.
The EBRD is currently working on an Agriculture support Facility aimed specifically at the SMEs in the agribusiness in the affected areas.
In the long-term, the EBRD will be looking into funding flood protection measures and adaptation projects.
The EBRD has structured and initiated a new range of financial support programs to help Serbia overcome the
damage caused by the floods.

FAO supported the Recovery Needs Assessment (RNA) and deployed emergency and rehabilitation expertise immediately
after the flooding.
FAO started implementing activities to support the immediate needs of rural farmers for which a total of USD 1,033,000 were
received from the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF), Special Fund for Emergency Relief Activities (SFERA) – Belgium and
its own resources from the Technical Cooperation Programme (TCP).
A total of 4,700 small-scale farming families received animal feed packages to sustain their livestock in 19 municipalities . Each
family received 8 bags (320 kg) of concentrated feed, which, combined with locally produced feed, will be on average sufficient
for feeding 2 units of cattle for 2 months.
Under a 30 million EUR program “EU Assistance to Flood Relief in Serbia” funded by the European Union (EU) to support recovery
of 24 flood affected municipalities in Serbia, FAO is implementing a EUR 8 million to support small-scale flood-affected farming
families during the next 12 months. FAO has started the operation of the project with the goal to assist 15,000 beneficiary
families in 24 municipalities , helping them to restart agricultural activities. The first round of assistance of animal feed package
was provided to about 2,100 families in Trstenik, Obrenovac, Lazarevac and Cacak. In close cooperation with the Ministry of
Agriculture and Environmental Protection, the Office for Reconstruction and Flood Relief and local governments, FAO has
developed, under the EU grant, a program consisting of 23 different agricultural input packages that will respond to the needs of
the targeted beneficiaries in the flood affected municipalities. The packages include winter and spring crop seeds and fertilizers,
fruit seedlings, animal feed, agricultural equipment and greenhouses, livestock, beehives, small farm machineries, and other
inputs necessary for the revitalization of small scale farming households. FAO organized briefing sessions in all 24 affected
municipalities with municipal staff, agriculture focal points and the village community leaders. The purpose of the sessions was
to prepare local partners to collect data on potential beneficiaries. Eligible flood affected small farming families were invited in
all 24 municipalities to submit their applications and prioritize their most immediate needs.
During October 2014, winter wheat seeds and fertilizers were provided to 4,427 selected families in all 24 municipalities, allowing
them to plant the fields in optimal season for winter sowing. FAO is presently working on the procurement of fruit seedlings
targeting 1,500 families, and expects to deliver these inputs in all 24 municipalities by early November.
The FAO has mobilized its resources to partner with the Serbian Government for short-term and medium-term
needs in the agricultural sector that was damaged by the flooding. Assistance includes targeting the immediate
needs of farmers, such as animal feed, as well as support for crop production in the current and upcoming
planting seasons.

Following the participation of the Assistant Director General of the Regional Office for Europe and Central Asia at the Donors
conference in Brussels, FAO engaged with other interested partners in discussing further proposals on recovery of agriculture
sector and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and resilience building.

ILO’s involvement in the RNA activities has been a direct response to the request addressed by the Minister of Labour,
Employment, Veterans and Social Policy of Serbia to the ILO Director General at a meeting held during the International Labour
Conference in Geneva.
ILO has allocated $40,000 from its core funds and has deployed experts in Employment and Livelihoods and Economic Recovery
to the UNCT RNA team. These experts, together with United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and representatives from
the Ministry of Labour, Employment, Veterans and Social Policy have visited four affected municipalities and have approached
more than 10 institutions of the Government of Serbia in an effort to collect as much accurate data as possible on the impact of
the floods on employment and livelihoods.
Based on the team’s key findings and analysis, ILO and UNDP have designed a brief concept note dedicated to the process of
recovery of employment and livelihoods. It will focus on assistance through the National Employment Service and the Centers for
Social Work, using the experiences from the past Joint Programmes- Youth Employment and Migration (YEM) and Peacebuilding
and Inclusive Local Development (PBILD) – and will have the following objectives:
1. Creation of short-term jobs and training opportunities in the reconstruction of disaster resilient municipal infrastructure
2. Assistance to entrepreneurs and micro-enterprises in affected areas to recover their livelihoods and enhance capacity
for startup businesses and to protect them from hazards
3. Enhancement of the crisis preparedness capacities of local institutions at both the central and municipality levels and
equip them with disaster response measures to better protect employment and livelihoods.
Using the above-mentioned allocation of core funds the ILO has hired a National Employment adviser for socio-economic
recovery to perform the following employment-related activities:
1. Evaluate effectiveness of the employment and social services response to the crisis.
2. Prepare a concept note for enhancing employment services effectiveness in protecting workers, finding short term
opportunities and providing social services to the most vulnerable.
ILO has allocated its core funds and deployed six experts in the UNCT RNA team. It has also developed a concept
note dedicated to the process of recovery of employment and livelihoods, which will focus on assistance through
the National Employment Service and the Centres for Social Work.

3. Conduct an in-depth assessment of the impact of the floods on micro, small and medium enterprises and their employees
in Obrenovac and write an analysis with suggested follow up including a concept note for donor funding.
The ILO will also use the remaining core funds to work on the preparation of a Manual for Employers’ organizations for Multihazard Business Continuity Management in the context of the Western Balkans.

UNDP has mobilized an immediate response (through experts and funds) in the aftermath of the floods and
continued to stay engaged throughout the recovery phase, supporting house rebuilding, debris removal,
cleaning of sewage systems, cleaning water sources and ensuring access to safe water. It is also supporting the
government’s capacity for coordination of disaster response and better preparedness for future disasters.

Since the onset of the crisis, UNDP has immediately allocated $100,000 for emergency coordination of the UN system and with the
Government of Serbia counterparts. These funds facilitated the effective deployment of a team of experts from the UN Office for the
Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) that handed over to the Government of Serbia on 4 June 2014 its report on priorities for
recovery measures in flooded areas.
In the aftermath of the crisis UNDP streamlined its support to both assist in the international coordination efforts to assess damages and
to provide practical help.
UNDP, together with other UN agencies, seconded staff and mobilized experts3 to participate in the Government of Serbia – led Recovery
Needs Assessment (“light” version of the Post Disaster Needs Assessment), jointly with the World Bank and the European Union. The
experts provided critical help in identifying damages from the disaster and proposing recovery measures.
Simultaneously UNDP initiated concrete assistance to the affected population. It is implementing a large portion ($388,000) of the United
Nations Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) to support relief efforts. These funds are used for cleaning sewage systems and facilitating
access to safe water in the municipalities of Sabac, Smederevska Palanka, Lajkovac, Vladimirci, Ub and Kosjeric. These works benefit some
240,000 people in total.
In the city of SABAC, 4 large water-sources have been regenerated. Water has been extracted, cleaned and disinfected and the tests showed
that it is clean and ready to be used by Sabac residents. In addition to this, three pumps have been purchased and installed.
In the SMEDEREVSKA PALANKA municipality, cleaning of a 300 m segment of the sewage system is underway, to enable the normal
functioning of the sewage system and to prevent further flooding of the neighboring houses and normal functioning of the water
treatment plant which is linked to this sewage system. The purchase of motors and motor-starters for 5 water-sources will eliminate the
daily water cuts and provide a regular water supply for over 50,000 inhabitants.
In the UB municipality, 2,5km of sewage system is being cleaned, as this area was completely flooded. Some of the man-holes were
flooded up to 8m in depth, and heavy-duty trucks were brought in throughout the project. The sewage system serves 10,000 inhabitants
of Ub municipality in that area. 415 private water-wells are being cleaned with the project’s support by the local public utility Company
“Djunis”. Meanwhile the Public Health Institute is analyzing the cleaned water-wells so that direct beneficiaries (households) are aware
of the purity of their water. The water plant obtained through the project, equipment that was necessary to resume normal functioning
and to deliver water to Ub residents.
In the municipality of VLADIMIRCI, the main water-well was cleaned and the project has replaced the equipment destroyed by the floods
that was necessary for the normal functioning of the well. This well is the main source of water for the water system. In addition, 3km of
sewage were cleaned and unclogged.
In the municipality of the KOSJERIC, the water factory was damaged by the floods and the project funded small reconstruction works by
the public utility company. The asbestos pipes destroyed during the floods are being replaced.
In the LAJKOVAC municipality, 120 private water-wells and 3 km of sewage have been cleaned. Pumps have been purchased for Ub,
Lajkovac, Sabac and Vladimirci and are being delivered.
In addition, UNDP is implementing a $1,500,000 project funded by its Bureau for Crisis Prevention and Recovery (BCPR). Priority is given to
debris removal and waste management, but also to improving coordination on all levels and capacity improvements for preventing future
disasters. UNDP will undertake a Disaster Risk Reduction Capacity Assessment, ; support the development of the National Plan of Action for
Capacity Development in Disaster Risk Reduction; and create a workshop on the implementation and monitoring of this plan. These activities
are consistent with our ongoing work in the framework of Serbia’s obligations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate
Change (UNFCCC), other conventions and treaties and the “Hyogo Framework of Action”.
UNDP is also implementing a grant of the United Arab Emirates to the Government of Serbia, in close cooperation and coordination with
the Government Office for Reconstruction and Flood Relief. Thirty-two houses will be constructed in Krupanj, Obrenovac and Valjevo for
people whose homes were destroyed during the floods.

Upon the request from the Government of Serbia, the UNCT/HC called for assistance from the UNDAC/UNOCHA, which arrived with a team
of 9 experts within 48 to 72 hours.
Following missions to the disaster areas, the immediate assistance was flown-in from Brindisi and Dubai by 4 cargo planes: 90 water tanks, 36
generators, 15 boats, 749 kg’s of high-energy biscuits, purification systems, water pumps, 5000 blankets etc.
The knowledge and experience from the TRIPLEX exercise was successfully applied and made the entire setup of the On-Site Operations
Coordination Center (OSOCC) with the Government of Serbia Sector for Disaster Management to proceed smoothly. This also applied to the
successful tracking of field missions and air reconnaissance.
The biggest challenge in regards to safety and security was the damage to infrastructure, i.e. roads, bridges and the hundreds of mud/
land-slides, combined with the immediate lack of 4x4 field vehicles. UNMIK has responded quickly in disposing field vehicles with drivers for
speeding up the essential immediate assessment by the UNDAC and UNCT.
Another concern was the migration of mines from the Croatian-Bosnian/Serbian border areas. The Serbian Mine Action Center (SMAC) and
UNDSS held daily coordination, as countries providing the water pumping teams expressed serious concerns with regards to migration of
mines and likelihood of accidents while pumping. The SMAC and MAC teams from Croatia and BiH formed a combined assessment team which
was deployed to the most affected areas in known mine areas for immediate reporting on migration.
UNDSS HQ with immediate effect facilitated the clearance of the use of Serbia Military and other countries air assets by UN personnel.
Following days of intensive field missions, the UNDAC team left and have now been replaced by a team of experts in Post Disaster Needs
Assessment which has been briefed on the safety and security protocols and a SOP circulated to all team members, while the team leaders
remains responsible for following the SOP and in-country security procedures.
UNDSS provided critical liaison with the Government of Serbia Sector for Disaster Management and Army during
the disaster ensuring safe delivery of the emergency assistance. It continues to apply and monitor safety and
security protocols related to UNCT relief and reconstruction efforts in the disaster affected areas.

UNEP’s response to the floods comprised initially of the mobilization of environmental experts (through the Joint UNEP/OCHA
Environment Unit) as part of the UNDAC team to assess acute short-term threats from flooded industrial zones, propose flood
mitigation measures, and identify landslide risks. This was followed by UNEP’s taking on the role of ‘environment sector co-leader’
for the Recovery Needs Assessment (RNA) in collaboration with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of the Ministry of
Agriculture and Environmental Protection.
The main environmental problems identified include: (i) activation of at least 775 landslides; (ii) generation of 500,000 tons
of debris waste requiring disposal; (iii) contamination of water and land from legacy mining operations, particularly from the
collapse of the Stolice mine tailing dam; (ii) negative impacts on surface and groundwater from poorly stored hazardous chemical
waste; (iv) deforestation, forest degradation and biodiversity losses; and (vi) damage to environmental monitoring equipment.
Damages and losses to the environment sector arising from the flood disaster were estimated at 20.6 million Euros. In addition,
an ‘environmental recovery and reconstruction plan estimated at 41.5 million Euros to be implemented over the short to medium
term was included in the RNA.
Longer term measures to help build back better and resolve important long-standing environmental challenges were also
proposed. Key strategies highlighted include the development and enforcement of disaster sensitive land use plans and
promotion of ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction measures. UNEP’s engagement has so far focused on integrating postflood planning in a regional climate change adaptation project for South East Europe.. The planned project will focus on the
inclusion of climate resilience in construction of different types of infrastructure to help ‘build back better’ (BBB). The BBB
principle will be applied to infrastructure that is to be re-build after the floods, as well as other regional infrastructure projects
that have not taken into account adaptation to climate change. The Donor community already showed interest on the above
mentioned initiative and pledged support to UNEP’s activities on post-flood response in the South East Europe sub-region.

UNFPA’s immediate flood response included distribution of 3,000 hygiene kits to the affected population in Obrenovac through
the Serbian Red Cross. The distribution reached Roma families living in settlements to where no assistance had been provided
yet. This represents $42,000 funded from UNFPA’s core funds.
UNFPA additionally procured 500 packs of adult diapers to respond to the needs of older persons who live in the Gerontology
Center in Obrenovac ($5,000, core funds). UNFPA also had an active participation in the Risk National Assessment (RNA) under
the Health sub-sector.
In addition, we have procured reproductive health kits under the United Nations Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) with
a total approved budget of $114,913.
As part of an agreement with the Serbian authorities, UNFPA Serbia CO has coordinated procurement, preparation and delivery
of another batch of hygiene/reproductive health kits on July 24th, 2014. A total of 3000 kits and 500 diapers for adults were
distributed in three different locations.
Each kit has been tailored to the needs of the families comprising the basic necessities of daily life.
First 500 kits were delivered to the Red Cross of Obrenovac. Those packages were distributed to the vulnerable people stationed
at the barrack Bora Markovic in Obrenovac. The second delivery of 500 hygiene kits and 500 diapers for adults was made to
the Geriatric Center in Obrenovac and the third delivery of 2000 dignity kits were dispatched to the Red Cross of Belgrade. In
cooperation with the Red Cross in Obrenovac, those relief items will be taken to the hardest hit municipalities in the area and in
accordance with the needs of those that suffered extensive damage due to heavy rains.
Areas in which UNFPA is standing ready to provide assistance in the near and long-term future are:
Reproductive health services
In cooperation with the Ministry of Health, continuous support for reproductive health services - including prenatal care, assisted
delivery, and emergency obstetric care in flood affected areas, while also improving access to family planning services.
In the face of the natural disaster that has struck Serbia, hygiene/reproductive health kits could mean the difference
between sickness and health for struggling families. UNFPA has managed to procure and deliver thousands of
health kits in the previous months. It provides continuous support for reproductive health services - including
prenatal care, assisted delivery, and emergency obstetric care in flood affected areas, while also improving access
to family planning services.
Older people’s rights
Advocacy for the needs of older people and to bring their rights to the attention of the international organizations, governments,
donors and the public in the view of, among other things, developing management emergency policies that would include the
needs of older people and supporting gerontology centers.
Displaced young people
Implementation of activities in the recovery phase that target displaced young people that are particularly vulnerable to HIV: to
provide them with information and services to protect themselves from disease and unintended pregnancies.

The World Bank Group approved a $ 300 million loan for the Floods Emergency Recovery Project. The loan will support Serbia
in meeting critical needs in the energy and agriculture sectors, repairing damaged flood control infrastructure, and helping
the country better respond to natural disasters. Specifically, in the energy sector, the project will support electricity imports by
EPS ($ 156 million) to improve availability and avert an impending energy crisis, particularly over the first winter heating season
following the floods. It will also support urgent restoration of the distribution network ($ 20 million) and dewatering of the
Tamnava West Open Pit Mine ($ 28 million). In the agricultural sector, the Floods Emergency Recovery Project will replenish up
to $ 70 million of the government’s ongoing Farm Incentives Program in the 49 municipalities affected by the floods in order to
protect livelihoods of farmers and offsetting their income losses. Remaining funds from the loan will finance urgent rehabilitation
of the flood protection and drainage control infrastructure, and strengthen the technical capacity of the government agencies
for improved flood prevention and management.
Immediately following the May flooding, the World Bank Group has mobilized grant funding of $150,000 from the Global Facility
for Disaster Reduction and Recovery and provided technical experts on the ground to support the Government of Serbia in
conducting the Recovery Needs Assessment (RNA). The RNA process was completed in July and the report was presented at
the Donors´ Conference convened in Brussels on July 16th, 2014. The RNA revealed that the most affected sector was mining/
energy, followed by housing, agriculture and trade.
In addition, the World Bank has authorized adjustments within its existing undisbursed portfolio to meet immediate recovery
needs, beginning with prioritizing of heavily damaged road sections under the $ 100 million Road Rehabilitation and Safety
Project and purchase of ambulance vehicles, portable ECG and ultrasound equipment from the remaining $ 2.7 million of the

WFP responded to the emergency in record time and within less than 36 hours from receipt of the request, its assistance was
delivered to the affected area - the very first UN assistance to arrive in the country.
Part of WFP’s response was conducted through the activation of the United Nations Humanitarian Response Depots (UNHRDs) of
Brindisi (Italy) and Dubai, which provided the bulk of the rapid response stocks and equipment supplied to the Government of Serbia.
The relief supplies included food, in the form of ready-to-eat High Energy Biscuits (HEBs), which fulfilled the immediate food needs
of about 7,000 people, as well as non-food relief items such as collapsible water tanks, water purification systems, generators,
inflatable boats, etc. The non-food items were provided by WFP as well as the Governments of Italy and Norway.
These non-food items were handed over to the Minister of the Interior while the HEBs were distributed through the national
Red Cross. The coordination was done through the UNCT in Serbia and other international and local partners on the ground.
In addition, WFP provided logistics and emergency programming support, and participated in the UNDAC needs assessment
activities in support of the UNCT and the Government of Serbia.
Also, WFP launched a $1.5 million operation to respond to immediate humanitarian needs upon a request from the Government
of Serbia and in coordination with the authorities and other UN organizations on the ground. WFP received approximately
$750,000 from the UN CERF to partially meet this resourcing requirement, which was also internally financed through WFP’s
Immediate Response Account mechanism.
As the situation transitions into recovery phase, WFP has developed a joint proposal with FAO to continue supporting the
Government of Serbia in its efforts towards rehabilitation and recovery, especially for the most vulnerable groups.
WFP launched a $1.5 million operation to respond to immediate humanitarian needs upon a request from the

WFP stands ready to provide short-term assistance to support the Government of Serbia in meeting immediate emergency food
and nutrition needs and in supporting recovery efforts of flood-affected populations, specifically for the most vulnerable groups,
through cash and voucher (C&V) transfer interventions.
The proposed cash-based activity will provide life-saving, time-critical food assistance through a cash and vouchers system to
an estimated 11,000 food insecure, flood-affected households (approx. 52,000 people). This is aligned with WFP’s Strategic
Objective 1: ‘Save Lives and Protect Livelihoods in Emergencies” by addressing the urgent food and nutrition needs of vulnerable
people. Most notably, the proposed activities will complement other existing efforts in the country.

CROSS-CUTTING ISSUES
Office of the United Nations
High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR)
United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and
the Empowerment of Women (UN Women)
OHCHR supported the RNA process ensuring it was conducted in line with the Human Rights based approach methodology.
OHCHR will continue to provide support to the UNCT and to the authorities with a view that the flood response is planned and
delivered fully in line with the UN Human Rights Standards and Principles.
UN Women provided a senior gender expert for the RNA assessment process and will continue supporting national partners in
ensuring that relief and reconstruction efforts are gender responsive.
Following an agreement with the UN Resident Coordinator, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights
(OHCHR) deployed a national human rights adviser and programme assistant to the UN Country Team in Serbia (UNCT) in December
2007 to monitor the human rights situation, provide advice to the UNCT on how to incorporate human rights into programming,
facilitate the UNCT’s interaction with UN human rights bodies, etc. Supporting the UNCT, the Government and the National Human
Rights Institutions to interact with the UN Human Rights Mechanisms, follow-up to their recommendations and participate in their
actual implementation in the national context are the main priorities of the UN Human Rights Adviser in Serbia.
The United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) has the mandate to work on the elimination
of discrimination against women and girls, women’s empowerment and achievement of equality between women and men as partners
and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security.
In June 2014, OHCHR deployed the Senior Human Rights Adviser (SHRA) posted in Russia to work with the Human Rights Adviser in
Serbia, the UNCT and the authorities on ensuring that the RNA process was conducted in line with the mandatory Human Rights Based
Approach methodology. The SHRA worked directly with the technical RNA sectors to guarantee the full understanding of and compliance
with the methodology. Relevant guidance and tools were provided during the RNA training that took place on June 16 and 17.
In the aftermath of the Serbian floods, UN Women provided expertise to the Recovery Needs Assessment process, with the aim to better
understand and incorporate the gender perspective in disaster response and reconstruction. A senior gender expert was deployed and
supported the work of the other sectors and the development of a specific report on the different flood impacts on women compared to
men, their implications for recovery, and recommendations to address disaster-related needs caused by or worsened by discrimination
against women. To identify key recommendations and priorities, individual and group interviews were held with representatives of civil
society organizations, gender activists and government representative working on gender equality. The report emphasizes the need for
future gender-sensitive actions in areas ranging from equitable cash assistance and house titling to inclusion of women and women’s
organizations in all levels of disaster response and recovery planning, coordination and implementation.
OHCHR will continue to provide support to the UNCT and to the authorities with a view that the flood response is planned and delivered
fully in line with the UN Human Rights Standards and Principles. Throughout the process, we will provide support to ensure human
rights principles, namely participation and inclusion, non-discrimination and equality and accountability are consistently applied.
In line with the findings and recommendations, UN Women will continue supporting national partners in ensuring that humanitarian
action, including preparedness and disaster risk reduction, response and early recovery, are gender responsive, address the distinct
needs of women, girls, men and boys and are shaped by women and men’s equal leadership and participation.
