RECOVERY AND RECONSTRUCTION UNIT (RRU) PROFILE

Sindh is the province worst-affected by the 2022 floods. There were huge damages to the housing, health, and agriculture sectors and people lost their livelihoods. Beyond the rehabilitation and reconstruction of damaged houses and infrastructure, engagement in the flood response effort is an opportunity to strengthen resilience, and reform institutions and governance structures.

In response to the 2022 floods, the Resilient Recovery, Rehabilitation, and Reconstruction Framework (4RF) is the Government of Pakistan’s strategic policy and prioritization document with Provincial Government, which will guide the recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction of the country. The 4RF follows a globally recognized approach and methodology for recovery strategy development.

The World Bank’s Board of Executive Directors on 19th December, 2022 approved $1.692 billion in financing for five projects to support people living in flood-affected areas of Sindh Province in Pakistan.

The Overarching theme of Rehabilitation and Reconstruction (RR) five projects is to support people living in flood-affected areas of Sindh Province in Pakistan. Out of five, three projects support rehabilitation & housing reconstruction and the restoration of crop production for vulnerable communities, while another two projects support health services for mothers and children.
