Observations

15

• Clear added benefit of coordination: more actors involved in DRR and efforts should be complementary:- Lack of coordination leads to duplication, some areas receive

less focus than needed

• Good to get all main partners working towards a common set of government-approved DRR activities.

• Good to ensure that all in-country resources are being mapped against those targets.

• Inclusion of NGOs and civil society.• Explicit linkages/synergies with CCA still needed.
