| Summary: | In GFDRR ’s track two, mainstreaming
disaster risk reduction in development, this lead to a
prioritization of operations in 20 core countries, including
Burkina Faso, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Ghana, Haiti, Indonesia,
Kyrgyz Republic, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Marshall Islands,
Mozambique, Nepal, Panama, Papua New Guinea, Senegal,
Solomon Islands, Togo, Vietnam, and Republic of Yemen. The
countries were selected due to their high vulnerability to
natural hazards and low economic resilience to cope with
disaster impacts including anticipated climate change and
variability. Two thirds of the countries are least developed
countries and twelve are highly indebted poor countries.
Nine are from Africa and several others are Small Island
States at high risk. These 20 core countries will receive 80
percent of available funds while 20 percent will be made
available for flexible, innovative, high impact grants, such
as those that catalyze increased investment programs and
integration of disaster risk reduction and climate change
adaptation in development in any disaster prone country. A
multi-stakeholder planning process lays the foundation for
the comprehensive national programs for disaster risk
reduction and climate change adaptation. The process ensures
the facilitation of ownership by governments for their risk.
The presented programs are indicative and further dialogue
with the Governments and other partners will refine the
agendas as the detailed planning and implementation phases
start. At the sixth meeting of the GFDRR Consultative Group
in Geneva, disaster risk management plans are put forward
for 25 out of the 31 priority and donor-earmarked countries.
The plans for the six remaining countries of Burkina Faso,
Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Senegal, and Timor-Leste will be
submitted at the seventh meeting of the GFDRR Consultative
Group since consultations in these countries are still ongoing. |
