1 Tools for Mainstreaming Disaster Risk Reduction: Guidance Notes for Development Organisations Charlotte Benson and John Twigg Presented by Margaret Arnold Sharing Climate Adaptation Tools Workshop 11-12 April 2007, Geneva

2 Structure of presentation  Rationale for mainstreaming  Overview of ProVention publication on Tools for Mainstreaming Disaster Risk Reduction  A case example: the ProVention guidance note on country programming  Future ProVention work on mainstreaming

3 Rationale for mainstreaming risk Increasing interest in mainstreaming has been fuelled by:  Growing understanding of disasters as unresolved problems of development  New focus of development strategies around poverty reduction  Rising disaster losses Collectively, these factors have triggered growing realisation of the need for win-win solutions for securing sustainable development, reducing poverty and strengthening hazard resilience.

5 ProVention Tools for Mainstreaming DRR Project goal : To develop tools for use by development organisations in adapting their existing country programming, project appraisal & evaluation methodologies to take risks emanating from natural hazards into account & assess related risk reduction opportunities. Photos: IFRC

6 Phase 1 :  Detailed review of existing standard tools used by development organisations in designing & evaluating projects. Phase 2 :  Development of guidance notes for use by development organisations in adapting existing project appraisal & evaluation tools, & related guidelines for developing broader country & sectoral strategies, to take risks emanating from natural hazards into account & analyse related risk reduction opportunities. ProVention Tools for Mainstreaming DRR Structure of project

7 ProVention Tools for Mainstreaming DRR  Existing programming, appraisal and evaluation tools and guidelines contain few references to hazard-related issues.  In consequence, natural hazards and related vulnerability are rarely considered in designing and appraising development projects even in high-risk areas.  Many existing programming, appraisal & evaluation tools could easily be extended to indicate countries, sectors & individual projects at risk & help ensure that appropriate risk reduction measures are taken.  Collectively these tools would allow project and programme planners to explore hazard-related issues from a wide range of perspectives and areas of expertise. Logic underlying the guidance notes

8 ProVention Tools for Mainstreaming DRR  Short, practical briefs supplementing existing guidelines  Focus - where and how to take hazard-related concerns into account in each of the tools covered  Primary audience - development organisations  May need adjusting to dovetail individual organisations’ procedures.  Also of relevance to the mainstreaming of adaptation to climate change into development. Guidance note principles

12 Guidance Note 4

13 Guidance Note 4: Country Programming  Preparation of a country programme provides an important opportunity to address disaster risk in a strategic and coordinated fashion.  Potentially critical in securing sustainable long term development and ensuring the effectiveness of country strategy. Why consider disaster risk in country programming?

14 Guidance Note 4: Country Programming  To provide direction on how to assess disaster risk and identify related risk reduction opportunities in country programming, both to protect the effectiveness of development assistance programmes and to support countries in strengthening their risk management strategies. Purpose of guidance note

15 Integration of disaster risk concerns into country programming Stage A: Analytical work and retrospective analysis 1. Undertake country & sector analytical work Consult CEA Significant disaster risk? No further need to consider disaster risk NoYes Consider disaster risk in other background analyses & include appropriate disaster expertise in the programming team & internal advisory board.

16 1. Undertake country & sector analytical work 2. Assess major development challenges: Consider the role & significance of disaster risk. Integration of disaster risk concerns into country programming Stage A: Analytical work and retrospective analysis

17 1. Undertake country & sector analytical work 3. Assess major lessons learned from past development cooperation: Consider impact of recent disasters on portfolio performance & the appropriateness of level of attention paid to disaster risk. 2. Assess major development challenges Integration of disaster risk concerns into country programming Stage A: Analytical work and retrospective analysis

18 1. Undertake country & sector analytical work 4. Consult stakeholders: Involve people with sufficient disaster knowledge & expertise to raise any critical issues, including representatives from known vulnerable groups. 2. Assess major development challenges 3. Assess major lessons learned from past development cooperation Integration of disaster risk concerns into country programming Stage B: Consultation

19 1. Undertake country & sector analytical work 5. Determine objectives & strategies: Consider disaster risk reduction as a key area of cooperation or cross-cutting theme. 2. Assess major development challenges 3. Assess major lessons learned from past development cooperation 4. Consult stakeholders Integration of disaster risk concerns into country programming Stage C: Preparation of country strategy

20 1. Undertake country & sector analytical work 2. Assess major development challenges 3. Assess major lessons learned from past development cooperation 4. Consult stakeholders 5. Determine objectives & strategies 6. Coordinate with other development organisations: Explore how others are addressing disaster risk. Integration of disaster risk concerns into country programming Stage C: Preparation of country strategy

21 1. Undertake country & sector analytical work 2. Assess major development challenges 3. Assess major lessons learned from past development cooperation 4. Consult stakeholders 5. Determine objectives & strategies 6. Coordinate with other development organisations 7. Prepare operational programme: Include disaster risk reduction activities in line with country programme objectives & strategies. Integration of disaster risk concerns into country programming Stage C: Preparation of country strategy

22 1. Undertake country & sector analytical work 2. Assess major development challenges 3. Assess major lessons learned from past development cooperation 4. Consult stakeholders 5. Determine objectives & strategies 6. Coordinate with other development organisations 7. Prepare operational programme 8. Identify risks in implementation: Examine disaster risk, & related contributions to other forms of risk, & indicate corrective measures. Integration of disaster risk concerns into country programming Stage C: Preparation of country strategy

23 1. Undertake country & sector analytical work 2. Assess major development challenges 3. Assess major lessons learned from past development cooperation 4. Consult stakeholders 5. Determine objectives & strategies 6. Coordinate with other development organisations 7. Prepare operational programme 9. Develop results or indicators framework: Include targets & indicators for tracking implementation & achievement of disaster risk reduction objectives. 8. Identify risks in implementation Integration of disaster risk concerns into country programming Stage C: Preparation of country strategy

24 1. Undertake country & sector analytical work 2. Assess major development challenges 3. Assess major lessons learned from past development cooperation 4. Consult stakeholders 5.

Develop results or indicators framework 10. Monitoring & evaluation: Assess disaster risk achievements & shortcomings, including adequacy of initial analysis.

25 Future ProVention work on mainstreaming  Production of an online Disaster Risk Reduction Monitoring and Evaluation Sourcebook  Study on mainstreaming incentives and enabling institutional environments  Creation of a repository of mainstreaming policies, tools, case studies and approaches on the ProVention website  Work with individual stakeholders on dissemination and implementation of GNs  Follow up workshop in 2007 with donors and IFIs to discuss and track the use of the mainstreaming tools
