|a This document is a guide to developing a National Action Plan (NAP) for disaster risk management (DRM). It is based on the experiences of a core team from the Pacific Disaster Risk Management Partnership Network from the years 2006 to 2008. The guide is divided into six parts. Part 1 overviews the impact of disasters on development in Pacific Island countries. It notes that these countries are highly exposed to a variety of disaster risks, including cyclones, earthquakes, volcanoes, climate change, and pandemics. In the estimates of the World Bank, disaster losses are equal to anywhere between 2 and 7 percent of GDP per year in these countries. The second part discusses the initial planning considerations prior to undertaking a NAP. The third and fourth parts deal with conducting a Disaster Risk Management Situation Analysis, which is considered an essential element to creating and implementing a National Action Plan. The guide defines a Situation Analysis as “a short study that is undertaken to collect and analyze information relevant to a planning process. It is an important study as it captures the base-line situation and provides the initial analysis on which the plan is built” (p.17). This analysis could be done using a thematic or a sectoral approach. Annex 5 provides a checklist to be used in the process of developing the situation analysis. Part 5 focuses on the process of preparing an implementation plan for the National Action Plan. The last part deals with establishing an enabling structure for effective, efficient, and coordinated NAP implementation. The guide underlines a few critical questions that must be addressed in order to maximize implementation of a NAP: Who will coordinate the implementation of the NAP? Are new institutions required? What is the NAP likely to cost? How will implementation be monitored and evaluated? How will the NAP be communicated to the public? How will the NAP be communicated to donors? (p.28). In the end, the guide underscores the significance of commitment, not only from political authorities, but also from all relevant stakeholders, for the effective management and implementation of a DRM National Action Plan (p.33). The guide includes several (16) useful appendices in the end, including a glossary of commonly used DRR terms (Annex 1); questions to inform NAP Implementation (Annex 12); and a Methodology for costing a NAP (Annex 13). |
