When a disaster occurs, timely support for recovery and reconstruction efforts is critical to minimize any potential long-term setbacks to sustainable and inclusive socioeconomic development. The ADB Build Back Better Sector Dialogues aim to share regional voices, stories, ideas and lessons learned on enhancing climate and disaster resilience through effective and well-designed emergency assistance. The series will feature perspectives from ADB staff, global thought leaders and local voices. This knowledge series is centered on ADB’s new Build Back Better Sector Guides.
