Helping Countries Establish
National Disaster Loss and Damages Data Base-
Lessons Learned by the United Nations Development
Programme. |
|

The ongoing discussions on the successor framework
of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Hyogo
Framework for Action for Disaster Risk Reduction
reveal their importance to enhance accountability of
countries to minimize losses and damages due to
disasters by obtaining a commitment to a set of
goals and targets. Weaknesses are identified within
the current framework- the MDG had not incorporated
DRR and the HFA consists of process indicators
rather than results indicators. The ongoing
discussion of the succeeding framework/s indicate a
reform oriented road map, i.e. the integration of
DRR targets in the proposed Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs); and for HFA2, the need to have a clear
set of baseline information, results and risk
reduction targets vis a vis losses and damages.
UNDP’s role is to support its partners, particularly
national and local governments in building
resilience to disasters and other types of shocks.
These stakeholders need capacity involving simple,
practical and operational framework, processes and
tools. This include a multi year and multi phase
support through programmes that support countries
graduate towards risk informed development and
recovery/reconstruction. These programmes can
include support to improving accountability for risk
and development, i.e. damage and loss reporting,
clear accountabilities to targets, indicators,
system for monitoring and reporting; improved
coherence with global policy architecture- SDG, HFA,
Climate Change; and measurable increase in public
investment in DRR based on risk information.
The presentation will describe UNDP’s experiences
and lessons learned in helping countries establish
capacity for monitoring, reporting and using
national disaster loss and damage databases. This
will include the benefits and their relevance to
planning and decision making, the fundamental
elements required to make them useful and
recommendations on how these can be improved. These
lessons learned are based on UNDP’s work in 15
countries in the Asia Pacific Region through the
efforts of the Bangkok Regional Hub. |
