The idea behind
the creation of ERRA was to bring
all efforts and activities,
pertaining to post disaster damage
assessment, reconstruction and
rehabilitation in the affected areas
under one umbrella, with a view to
providing a fast track and
seismically safe reconstruction
regimes and solutions.
ERRA’s mission is to “Convert this
Adversity into an Opportunity” by
reconstructing the lost and
destroyed facilities, while
following highest standards of
reconstruction and rehabilitation
with the obligation to “Build Back
Better”.
Main role of ERRA is macro planning,
developing selected strategies,
financing, project approval and
monitoring and evaluation.
Additionally, it ensures the
required coordination and provides
facilitation to implementing
partners, whereas physical
implementation of the projects is
the responsibility of respective
governments.
ERRA has intervened in 12 different
sectors, 3 cross-cutting programmes,
and is required to reconstruct over
13,000 projects, (at the cost of
over US $ 5 billion) located over
more than 30,000 sq km of nine
districts of AJK and Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa.
