Background

Project Title: Mainstreaming Disaster and Climate RiskManagement into InvestmentDecisions

Donor: World Bank - Acting Administrator of the Grant FundFund Provided By: Government of Japan under the Japan Policyand Human Resources Development (PHRD) Technical Assistance(TA) Program

Amount: USD 2.7 M

Project Duration: February 2012 to January 2016

Project Coordination: Ministry of Planning and InvestmentImplementing Partners: Ministry of Public Works and Transport

Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry


KeyFocus- ApplicationofRiskAssessmentforEffectiveInvestmentDecision

• Integrating climate and disaster risk management intostrategic national and sectorial planning and developmentpolicies;

• Improving the consideration of disaster and climateresilience in the implementation of public infrastructure;

• Enhancing the human and institutional capacity throughtraining at national, provincial, district, and community levelin the design and implementation of resilient infrastructure;and

• Demonstrating the implementation of strategic structuraland non-structural measures to enhance resilience bymeans of Pilot Studies in two risk-prone provinces.

#1- KeyMessages:Riskidentification:Foundation forSustainableDisasterRiskManagement(DRM)/ClimateRiskManagement (CRM)


• Past disaster impacts, estimations of futuredisaster events, baseline exposure and criticalinfrastructure, and demographic andsocioeconomic information.

• Collection and validation of high-resolutiondata to inform development planning andDRM programs at the local level

• Capacity building across all levels ofgovernment and in technical institutions tocontribute to producing, sharing, and usingrisk information.

WayForward

Utilization of risk assessment and DRMmainstreaming and technical guidelines by thegovernment agencies for future development ofpolicies, strategies, plans, programs and projectsto ensure disaster resiliency at the national andlocal levels


WayForward

• Strengthening the data andinformation collection andmanagement by using the riskassessment guidelines to supportfuture update of risk assessment atnational level

• Local and site specific risk assessmentin the other high risk areas of thecountry


WayForward

• Introduction of DCRM integrated curriculum to the other relevanttraining institutions and universities departments country-wide

• Advocacy on DRM mainstreaming to increase good understandingand guidance from the decision makers at different levels

• Regular knowledge exchange and experience sharing on DRMmainstreaming among the practitioners and stakeholders(nationally, regionally and globally)
