 EU-ACP COTONOU AGREEMENT  2009 DISASTER RISK REDUCTION STRATEGY FOR THE PACIFIC

“…we feel in most cases that there is sufficient response and also rapid response by New Zealand, by Australia, and this in many cases covers all the needs. Because [the Pacific] are not huge populations who have to be dealt with, so in a way you can, with a limited means, do quite a bit. Of course, we stand ready to support and to complement what is being done by other donors there.” EU official ECHO, Brussels “…we feel in most cases that there is sufficient response and also rapid response by New Zealand, by Australia, and this in many cases covers all the needs.

I think they do need to ramp up their presence. Even in-country, there’s only a handful of staff and sometimes they’re so overloaded. Globally there is a difference of looking at risk and how many people at risk[...] No matter how vulnerable they are, global donors have a tendency of looking at how many people are at risk.

I haven’t done any work with them. Part of the reason is...even though they claim to be doing DRR type of work, they are primarily focussed on preparedness and response. We had to have some assessments done in DRR and the people who did that weren’t based here, they came over from Geneva and from Bangkok to do the assessment...I guess they’d been briefed, one of them it was their first time to the Pacific.

I say the EU should have a role in supporting development that is aligned to risk reduction, or risk reduction activities that are part of a broader community programme, and climate change adaptation.

[…] Protection in our case that would be disaster preparedness and livelihood in an emergency context but we all agree this is a priority very strongly coming up and we need to position ourselves on DRR […]

Traditionally, if you look at how the communities are set up, there is some kind of network, some kind of governance, so when in the event of such happenings, like a disaster strikes, what do people do. So there are some of those that are in place, but I would say that a lot of those would need to be reviewed […]
