|a This document presents the work of The World Bank’s Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR) to help vulnerable populations reduce their risks before disaster occurs and to ensure sustainable recovery after they face disaster. The GFDRR was established in 2006 by the World Bank as a global initiative to facilitate the mainstreaming of DRR and climate change adaptation (CCA) into national development planning. The first section of the document discusses its work towards this objective. In October 2007 the GFDRR devised the Stockholm Plan of Action. It emphasized increasing collaboration in research and planning between those working in all three policy arenas; incorporating socioeconomic and poverty information into disaster risk assessments; utilizing integrated information in national planning processes; mainstreaming DRR and CCA into all sectors; and capacity building at all levels, from the local to the global. In 2007 it established the Standby Recovery Financing Facility (SRFF) as a post-disaster financing mechanism, along with a common framework for post-disaster needs assessment, recovery, and reconstruction, and a results-based management system for DRR with standard measures and methodologies for interactive and ongoing monitoring and reporting of progress on initiatives. The second section of the document discusses the GFDRR’s various partnerships. In its first year of existence, the GFDRR focused on establishing partnerships with the most disaster-prone countries, initially targeting five countries: Malawi, Mozambique, Nicaragua, Nepal, and Vietnam. The third section highlights the GFDRR’s resource mobilization and management structures. The GFDRR uses a three-track DRR funding approach. The first track supports regional cooperation and knowledge sharing. The second focuses on providing technical assistance for DRR projects. Thirdly, it acts as a mechanism for pre-disaster planning and mobilization of donor resources for effective and efficient disaster recovery. The GFDRR seeks to integrate DRR into the fight against poverty by developing international disaster risk financing for recovery and market-based risk transfer mechanisms; supporting legislation, strategies, institutions and other activities for adapting to climate change; and using country level diagnostic tools to determine the impact of disasters on development benefits.
