Notes
- Summary:
- This document is a series of 14 guidance notes for use by development organizations in mainstreaming disaster risk reduction (DRR) into their programming, project appraisal, and evaluation tools for development work in hazard-prone countries. They are short, practical briefs intended to supplement existing, more general guidelines on these tools. Increasingly it is being recognized that much of the current development occurring around the world may actually be exacerbating existing vulnerabilities and disaster risks, posing a significant challenge to poverty reduction strategies and ultimately sustainable development. The rising economic and social losses, as well as negative impacts on community livelihoods emerging as a result of structural vulnerabilities to disaster have made this abundantly clear. In light of these growing realizations, the document calls for integrating DRR into all development planning and decision-making. This first requires understanding that poverty and vulnerability are intrinsically related and reinforce each other. Hence, poverty reduction strategies are an important component when dealing with structural vulnerability to natural hazards. The guidance notes discuss the collection and use of hazard and risk information; developing poverty reduction strategies; country programing; project cycle management; logical and results-based frameworks; environmental assessment; economic analysis; vulnerability and capacity analysis; sustainable livelihoods approaches; social impact assessment; construction design, building standards, and site selection; evaluating DRR initiatives; and budget support. The guidance notes identify entry points in the planning and provision of development assistance for considering the impact of potential hazards on development, and the impact, in turn, of development initiatives on vulnerability to natural hazards. It is also of relevance to stakeholders involved in the mainstreaming of climate change adaptation (CCA) into development. ( English )
