GOVERNANCE STRATEGY
The basic thrust of the Strategy for Governance Sector is to restore and improve the system of governance in the affected districts through reconstruction and rehabilitation of damaged government buildings, provision of required logistic support to these facilities and to restore the capacity of those facilities to the pre-earthquake level. Wherever necessary and justifiable, the physical structures of the damaged departments would be expanded and improved using the earthquake resistant techniques.

Scope and prioritization of work
Reconstruction and Rehabilitation of partially and fully damaged buildings and provision of equipment and logistic support is the priority of SERRA. Due to lack of capacity, it is not possible to complete all reconstruction in one year; therefore, three years reconstruction plan has been devised. However, priority must be accorded on the basis of the following criteria:
|
|
DRU in consultation with the concerned department and implementing agency will submit the Work Plan by prioritizing on the basis of need assessment
|
|
Status of left out buildings
Any affected building which may have been left out due to error or omission or lack of information will be rehabilitated or reconstructed subject to intimation of such building to ERRA/SERRA and approval thereof

Methodology
The following methodologies will be used to achieve Governance sector’s objectives:
|
|
(i) Improved disaster preparedness and service delivery:
Office buildings/houses will be built to cater for disaster preparedness and mitigation. This will be achieved through the following measures:
|
|
(ii) Inter-sectoral Approach
Governance will be integrated in related sectoral strategies of ERRA, especially water & sanitation and environment. To this end:
|
|
(iii) Capacity Building:
Restoration and strengthening of State Government functions is paramount to provide efficient social services. The institutional capacity building programmes would be selected for which 20% additional amount has been allocated in the cost estimates. Followings are the guiding principles
|
|
(iv) Recurrent Cost:
Staff salary, costs of repair and maintenance of buildings, furniture and equipment are assumed to be provided on regular basis as per current norms i.e. from the regular budget of concerned Departments. ERRASERRA will not provide any funding for this except one time provision of equipment and logistics.
|
|
(v) Quality Assurance
Quality of supplies and works will also be ensured through standardization and third-party supervision/validation, respectively. Multi projects strategy has been evolved to ensure quality of constructional works, services delivery etc.
