#Sri Lankaโs recovery journey takes a major step forward.
The Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (#PDNA) for #CycloneDitwah is a Government-led assessment that provides a shared foundation to prioritise needs, align partners, and mobilise resources for a resilient and inclusive recovery.
As the overall Technical Coordinator for this critical process, @UNDP is proud to have accompanied the consultative design process, and will continue to support the design and implementation of the Recovery Framework.

What always stands out to me about Japan is how it thinks about the future.
Long-term. With purpose. Through partnership.
From innovation to impact, I saw this mindset in action in my visit to Tokyo.
@UNDP is proud to partner with Japan to change lives across the world.

The @EUpalestinians & the #UN released today the final #Gaza Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment (RDNA), jointly conducted with the @WorldBankMENA following 24 months of conflict.
$71.4B needed for recovery & reconstruction over the next decade, including $26.3B in the first 18 months.
With massive destruction to housing, health & education, and an 84% economic contraction, #recovery must start now- alongside #humanitarian action.

A pleasure to meet Zou Jiayi, President of @AIIBOfficial.

With @UNReliefChief in Damascus.
Humanitarian aid saves lives. Development sustains them: restoring basic services, rebuilding livelihoods, creating jobs.
Working as one, we help move Syria from crisis to recovery, and from recovery to stability.
This is delivery in action.
