When Cyclone Idai made landfall, it was one of the deadliest cyclones to ever hit Africa. It destroyed lives, livelihoods and infrastructure. In response, the World Bank-funded Zimbabwe Idai Recovery Project – managed by UNOPS – brought together various UN organizations with different expertise to help the country recover. The $72 million project supported communities in the immediate aftermath of the disaster – and helped build the foundations for long-term resilience and regional recovery.
