Transcription

1 Donor interventions for flood recovery in Bosnia and Herzegovina The EU Delegation to Bosnia and Herzegovina has in the framework of the regular donor coordination meetings taking place in Sarajevo compiled the following information provided by the listed embassies/organizations/institutions on planned and on-going donor interventions in different sectors following the floods. A summary of the priorities and needs included in the Recovery Needs Assessment is included for each sector. This list is published on the website of the donors' conference of 16 July to further facilitate donor coordination while it is clear that the information cannot be complete at this point. The Commission is not responsible for the accuracy of information received. Further information on donors' pledges will be publishes after the conference. Agriculture Recovery Needs Assessment (RNA) general (based on a draft) Top Priorities and Key Recommendations Short-term needs (period up to 12 months) 1. Address urgent needs to maintain and restore productivity and income; 2. Transition from relief to development interventions; 3. Interventions focused on disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation; 4. Mainstream Build Back Better in the medium-long term; 5. Direct with in-kind; 6. Address indebtedness for farmers and agro-business; 7. Subsidize loans for low-interest rates for medium-term development. All farms: The most affected farmers which have lost crop, livestock and facilities (at least 15 villages). The still submerged assets and facilities indicate that the agricultural season for these farmers has ended. With little income sources and rising costs for recovery and investments into the next season, the most affected population will desperately need additional income. The need for income paired with the needs for the cleanup effort (which will last for years), indicate the need for a cash-forwork. Cereal (Wheat, Maize) - Provision of seeds, fertilizers Voucher schemes/cash grants for access to services for land preparation, harvesting, silage making. Fodder crops - Provision of fertilizers, seeds to revive the meadows productivity. Voucher schemes/cash grants for access to services for hay/sillage making. Horticulture - Seeds, fertilizers, phytosanitary products, small tools and sprayers. In-kind and cash grants for re-establishment of greenhouses. Cash grants for labour Orchards - Rejuvenation of affected orchards still productive (fertilizers, phytosanitary products, cash grants for labour). Replantation of orchards (vouchers for land preparation, seedlings, fertilizers, posts and iron wire, etc.) Cattle Sustain - Livestock through concentrate animal feed and Veterinary Drugs. Support for fencing and rehabilitation/adaptation of stables and animal pens. Repair damaged buy-off stations / lactofreezers Small ruminants and pigs - Sustain Livestock through concentrate animal

2 Medium-term needs (period up to 13 and 36 months) feed and Veterinary Drugs. Support for fencing and rehabilitation/adaptation of stables and animal pens Poultry and rabbits - Provision of start-up kits (animals, animal feed, vaccination, pen, etc.). Bees - Provision of start-up kits (beehives, colonies, extracting equipment and small tools) Fisheries/Aquaculture - it is important to allow a quick resumption of the production capacity through direct recovery assistance and financial for the rehabilitation and restocking of the fish farms. Adequate measures from in-kind assistance for restocking and provision of fish feed; cash grants and vouchers for rehabilitation of the fish farms (cleaning, repairs and improvement) have to be in the coming six months to allow recovering the pre-disaster production capacity. Forestry - Specific assistance to clean and remove debris, dead trees, through CFW, cash grants, repair or replacement of forestry machinery will be essential to restore the sub-sector productivity. In addition, such recovery efforts will constitute an opportunity to employment in the affected rural areas. All farms: - Cost of the farmers (apart those fully affected) are credit viable and with some can recover the damages to their households, mechanization and agricultural production. Any intervention providing reduction of the interest rates is welcomed. Cereal (Wheat, Maize) - Provision of seeds, fertilizers. Voucher schemes/cash grants for access to services for land preparation, harvesting, silage making (for the most vulnerable). Subsidised credit for more commercial farmers. Crop diversification Fodder crops - Provision of seeds, fertilizers. Voucher schemes/cash grants for access to services for land preparation, harvesting, silage making (for the most vulnerable). Subsidised credit for more commercial farmers. Crop diversification Horticulture - Seeds, fertilizers, phytosanitary products, small tools and sprayers in-kind and cash grants for re-establishment of green-houses cash grants for labour. Promotion of producers organizations and to agro-processing. Adapted credit and insurance schemes Orchards - Rejuvenation of affected orchards still productive (fertilizers, phytosanitary products, cash grants for labour). Replantation of orchards (vouchers for land preparation, seedlings, fertilizers, posts and iron wire, etc.). Promotion of producers organizations and to agroprocessing.

Civil protection RNA general (based on a draft) Top Priorities / Key Recommendations 1. Avoid the recreation of risk; 2. Identify systemic weaknesses; 3. Ensure infrastructure, businesses and services are resilient to potential future natural hazards;

7 4. Mainstream Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) in all development projects and sectors. 1. Participatory approach to strengthen Disaster Risk Reduction; 2. Improving risk identification and assessment; 3. Prioritization of risk mitigation (structural and non-structural measures); 4. Strengthen emergency preparedness and response (Early Warning Systems); 5. Developing risk financing strategies. Short-term needs Substitution of lost equipment (flood related) Equipment and capacities to react to moving mine fields Equipment and capacities to handle the landslides and related dangers Medium-term needs Improve complementarity of BiH civil protection key players in terms of capacity and interoperability regarding rescue and protection. Coordination arrangement in order to be able to participate in the EU Civil Protection Mechanism Improved Early Warning Systems Long-term needs Development of modules in other areas of disaster management. Flood recovery-relief efforts Donors activities Donor 1 Aim of the Donor 2 Aim of the How is the Donor 3 UNDP EUR ongoing Support to Disaster Risk Reduction Platforms development of plans and studies and awareness raising; assessments, integration of DRR in local development strategies, training on emergency management and small-scale disaster mitigation projects. All levels of government EU 1M EUR Planned Fall 2014 Via capacity building and supplies, the project will aim to reduce the vulnerability of the country to natural and man-made disasters. The project will focus on cooperation and coordination procedures between civil protection structures, provide related training and provide supplies relevant for search and rescue operations to respond effectively to natural disasters, in particularly floods. The project will complement the DG ECHO grant with a focus on regional cooperation and training and the procurement of bigger items for flood response (pumps and boats). Civil protection authorities Technical Assistance and supply EU - ECHO 6 Million 2 Million approved, 4 Million to be approved Fall 2014;

8 Aim of the How is the Comment ) Establishment of Operational multinational civil protection modules for flood response that are able to operate regionally and through the Union Civil Protection Mechanism (Flood rescue with boats, High capacity pumping, Flood containment module) 2) Improved capacity of beneficiary countries to deal with the requirements of the EU Floods Directive and to address flood prevention Civil protection authorities of the EU candidate countries and potential candidates Call for proposals Regional project Demining RNA general (based on a draft) Top Priorities and Key Recommendations Short-term needs Physical clearance is the most expensive part of demining; Need of a non-technical survey of the situation to avoid any over-spending on the clearance process; Any potential threat needs to be identified in the immediate/short-term, marked off and prioritized for clearance. Non-technical (desk top survey) of all extended Suspected Hazardous Areas (SHAs) Replacing marking and fencing of SHAs Technical Survey and marking of new SHAs Clearance of confirmed SHAs Mine Risk Education (MRE) Community Liaison in all affected areas. In the emergency phase it is planned to gain access to the potentially contaminated 105 km² through emergency clearance with mine marking erected in order to warn the local population and reconstruction personnel of the present dangers. All repair and reconstruction activities will be restricted until the mine/uxo clearance is completed and the area is secure. The risk of a mine or Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) accident or incident will be high until the survey and clearance activities have been completed. Medium-term needs All locations (houses, gardens, roads, bridge abutments, infrastructure including power lines and water supplies) within a known SHA or potential SHA will need to be surveyed for potential mine and UXO contamination to enable essential services to start reconstruction activities. If mine/uxo contamination is confirmed, clearance will need to be prioritised based on the availability of assets. Roads and infrastructure will need to be opened. In many cases earth that may contain landmines has been removed and deposited close by, so at some point during the medium term recovery phase these earth deposits will need to be cleared so construction workers can commence work. Long-term needs All SHAs that have been identified in the short/medium term will need to be cleared. A lot of fertile agricultural land that was not given a high priority in the medium term will need to be surveyed and cleared. Note that the whole clearance process will also be complicated with the additional

9 Estimation of damages and losses (EUR) Flood recovery-relief efforts Donors activities Donor 1 Aim of the How is the contamination of debris and mud resulting from the floods. Farmers and land workers will remain to be at risk until these areas are surveyed and cleared. Existing SHAs that were already identified will also need to be cleared to remove the threat of landmines and UXO completely, thereby removing all mine/uxo risk after any future flooding disaster. From the initial 920 km2 of flooded area approximately 300 km2 was assessed to be in mine affected areas. From this 300 km2 of flooded area BHMAC identified approximately 105 km2 that could potentially contain mines and UXO that have migrated from the suspected hazardous areas (SHAs) Within the 105 km2 a total of 40 km2 was marked up as SHAs. US 3 million USD Planned programme Short and medium term AFBiH demining battalion provided with replacement parts for their metal detectors, purchase hand-held GPS s for BHMAC and the rest of the money will be used for commercial demining. BH MAC Commercial companies MoD demining battalion Grant Donor 2 Aim of the How is the Council of Europe Development Bank (CEB) EUR Approved Q3/Q This Donation will be used for rapid response in line with ITF competencies. The first stage will focus on technical surveys, sign remapping, and marking of the areas that present the highest security risk; the second part will, in close cooperation with re-survey teams, focus on urgent mine risk awareness for communities affected by floods. Priority areas will be identified by ITF based on preliminary estimates and in coordination with BiH MAC. Families and areas affected by the floods. ITF (ITF receives also other funding for this) Grant Energy RNA general (based on a draft) Top Priorities / 1. Recovering generation supply capacity 2.
