NAB National Advisory Board on Climate Change and Disaster Risk Reduction

 NAB stands for National Advisory Board on Climate Change and Disaster Risk Reduction  The NAB is a committee made up of government and non-government members.  Its primary purpose is to: “Act as Vanuatu’s supreme policy making and advisory body for all disaster risk reduction and climate change programs, projects, initiatives and activities”.

 Prior to mid-2012, there were two government bodies undertaking climate change and disaster risk reduction work: the National Advisory Committee on Climate Change (NACCC) and the National Task Force on Disaster Risk Reduction (NTF).  There were many areas of overlap in climate change adaptation work and disaster risk reduction work.  For reasons of efficiency, coordination, best use of resources, and stronger governance and direction, it was agreed by VMGD and NDMO that a merged body should be formed.

The NAB will provide a: Focal point for coordinating CC and DRR efforts  Coordinating body to discuss and develop integrated CC and DRR policy and positions for national action and international negotiations Reduce duplication – increase collaboration – work towards a comprehensive, consistent approach which addresses VANUATU’s key priorities

NACCC National Advisory Committee on Climate Change NTF National Task Force on Disaster Risk Reduction BEFORE: 2 Parliamentary Bodies NAB

 In February 2012 NACCC and NTF hosted a 2-day “Reorientation Meeting” to discuss how to create an integrated approach.  Over 50 participants, from Government, NGOs and Donors provided feedback on how an joint advisory board should work.  A draft structure, roles and responsibilities was drafted by VMGD and NDMO and circulated for comment.  The Council of Ministers endorsed the creation of the interim NAB on 15 October 2012.

The NAB is co-chaired by  the Director of VMGD: Mr Jotham Napat  The Director of NDMO: Mr Shadrack Welegtabit Members are senior-level representatives from key sectoral government agencies, and NGO representatives - a representative of VHT Network, Vanuatu Climate Adaptation Network and VANGO. Members are nominated in the first instance by the Directors of VMGD and NDMO and appointed by NAB Co-Chairs at an official NAB meeting. Observers and visitors are welcome to attend NAB meetings on a request/invitation basis.

Six main duties: 1. Act as Vanuatu’s supreme policy making and advisory body for all disaster risk reduction and climate change programs, projects, initiatives and activities. 2. Develop DRR and CC policies, guidelines and positions. 3. Advise on international, regional and national DRR and CC obligations

Six main duties: 4. Advise, facilitate and endorse the development of new DRR & CC programs, projects, initiatives and activities – including mainstreaming CC and DRR. 5. Act as a focal point for information-sharing and coordination on CC/DRR 6. Advise, guide and coordinate the development of national CC & DRR financing processes.

 NAB meets once every 6-8 weeks or as needed to make decisions.  The NAB is supported by an Executive Committee, which can meet for urgent decisions.  The NAB is also supported by the NAB-PMU (NAB Project Management Unit) which is the Secretariat of the NAB.  The PMU prepares information for NAB decision, and then implements the decisions of the NAB.  The PMU actions the coordination, endorsement, and advice functions of the NAB.
