P361 billion needed for Yolanda recovery, reconstruction
From the National Economic and Development Authority
Secretary Balisacan bats for phased, cumulative, flexible response
The National Economic and Development
Authority (NEDA) today said the Yolanda recovery and reconstruction will
require a total of P361 billion in investments.
The estimated total investment
requirements for recovery and reconstruction shall cover shelter and
resettlement (P183.3B ), public infrastructure (P28.4B ), education and
health services (P37.4B ), agriculture (P18.7B ), industry and services
(P70.6B ), local government (P4B ) and social protection (P18.4B ).
“The government has allocated about
PhP34B for the critical immediate actions, which are now underway.
Another P100 billion is forthcoming in 2014,” Balisacan said.
“RAY is the
government’s strategic plan to guide the recovery and reconstruction of
the economy, lives and livelihoods in the affected areas,” Balisacan
said, adding that the plan aims to restore the economic and social
conditions of the said areas at the very least to their pre-typhoon
levels and to a higher level of disaster resilience.
Balisacan said that the design of RAY and its estimated investment
requirements are based on the results of the damage, loss and needs
assessment using data from national government agency-led sector teams.
In some cases, upward adjustments were made to fully reflect the costs
of integrating disaster-resilient standards into the reconstruction
needs for some sectors, as well as to address estimated income losses in
agriculture enterprises, and to provide adequate social protection.
“We are espousing the build back better principle to make affected communities more resilient and sustainable,” Balisacan said.
The
NEDA Director General said the total damage and loss from Typhoon
Yolanda has been initially estimated at PhP571.1 billion. This, he said,
includes physical assets, reductions in production, sales and income as
well as the value of increased operating costs resulting from the
disaster.
Balisacan explained that the
sector-level damage and loss assessments are based on United Nations
Economic Commission for Latin America and the Carribean’s (UN-ECLAC)
Handbook for Estimating the Socioeconomic and Environmental Effects of
Disasters, an internationally recognized post-disaster assessment
methodology.
“Using this methodology, we defined
damage as the total or partial destruction of physical assets. Loss, on
the other hand, is defined as the change in economic flows which refers
to loss of incomes, revenues or operational costs. Needs means the
overall recovery and reconstruction requirements for the public and
private sector in the short and medium term,” he further explained.
He
said that typhoon Yolanda caused damage and loss to infrastructure
(PhP33.98 B), agriculture (PhP62.11 B), industry and services
(PhP116 B), education (23.9 B), health (PhP5.57 B), housing (PhP
325.24 B), local government (PhP4.3 B). About 90 percent of the total
damage and loss has fallen on the private sector with the remaining 10
percent on the public sector.
He stressed that the government will be
strategic in its financing interventions and will mobilize other sources
of funds that are now being made available by development partners and
the private sector. Balisacan emphasized that RAY is a credible basis
for eliciting support from the donor community.
“It is important that we have a plan
immediately in place. RAY shall also guide our development partners and
the private sector in assessing and analyzing financing gaps,
determining which sectors or areas to focus their assistance on,
considering their respective country partnership strategies,” the
economic planning secretary said.
