Technical Assistance

The TA Funds service line comprises into four streams:

  • Teams to strengthen global post-disaster recovery assistance coordination among the World Bank, the UN, European Commission and other relevant stakeholders and to build capacity for preparedness and response (see: TA deployment resources);
  • Tools to create global and regional knowledge networks on disaster recovery approaches and practices (see: TA methodology and tool/results);
  • Training to build capacity for post-disaster recovery assessments and planning at the global, regional, country and provincial/local levels (see: TA capacity building);
  • Tasks to provide country-level support for post-disaster damage, loss and needs assessments to inform recovery and reconstruction planning, such as the joint post-disaster assessments in Bangladesh, Madagascar, Bolivia, Myanmar, Haiti etc.

Through these action streams, the TA Fund has strengthened the partnership and coordination among the World Bank, United Nations, European Commission, the larger donor community, governments and other stakeholders in assisting post-disaster recovery planning in affected countries.
