The Ready2Respond (R2R) diagnostic examines 360 individual data points related to the strength of a country’s EP&R system using a conceptual framework that assess i) facilities, ii) equipment, iii) personnel, iv)information systems and v) legal frameworks of EP&R. The diagnostic includes a four-phase approach: (i) Pre-mission preparations; (ii) Mission and Data Collection (iii) EP&R Diagnostic Report, Data Validation & Analysis; (iv) EP&R Investment Plan and Discussion Support. The R2R culminates in a thorough report of the current state of a country’s EP&R environment—or a section of the environment in the case of a modular adaptation of the R2R. In addition to an extensive qualitative assessment, the report includes quantifiable results and an investment plan to inform future WB operations
