UNDP Bureau for Crisis Prevention and Recovery Annual Report 2011

The report for 2011 highlights a number of advances in the four key focus areas in which BCPR has a comparative advantage:

-Prevention of disasters and conflicts;

-Strengthening development in post-crisis countries by reinforcing governance, the rule of law and livelihoods;

-Rapid response to emerging unexpected crises, supported through an innovative UNDP trust fund mechanism for crisis prevention and recovery; and

-Strengthening the coherence of the UN and the international community as a whole to better respond to crises and build peace.

The 2011 BCPR Annual Report is a summary document of the BCPR Multi Year Results Framework (MYRF), which is attached in full as a CD-ROM. The MYRF incorporates crisis prevention and recovery needs and demands of programme countries, fully aligned with the UNDP Strategic Plan. It provides a comprehensive framework by which the Bureau can measure its contributions to development results on the ground in each specific area of support.

Building resilience to conflicts and disasters is at the very heart of UNDP's work. UNDP helps countries prevent armed conflict, alleviate the risk and effects of disasters from natural hazards and build back better and stronger when crises happen.
