  4. Hazards & Planning for DRM • Hazards that affect Maldives, which could culminate in disasters, include • Heavy/Limited Rainfall • Floods & Windstorm • Coastal erosion & Salt water intrusion • Swell waves • Tsunamis • Risk of submergence of coastal areas • Sea level rise tsunamis Low Frequency; High impact Swell waves Coastal erosion Risk of submergence of coastal areas Floods

  5. National development plans • Development planning in the Maldives began in the 1950s. • The first socio- economic development plan, was “Three Year Plan (1950-1952).However, following this there was no articulated development planning for 26 years. • The first comprehensive National Development Plan (1985-1987) was prepared and initiated in 1985. Since the inception of the First National Development Plan (1st NDP), Maldives has implemented 7 NDPs • Each plan articulated the national will and priorities for socio-economic and infrastructure development. These plans have ensured the development of a solid economic foundation, universalization of primary education and health care, and the strengthening of democratic governance and socio-economic institutions. NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLANS (NDPs) • 1985-1987 – 1st NDP • 1988-1990 – 2nd NDP • 1991-1993 – 3rd NDP • 1994-1996 – 4th NDP • 1997-2000 – 5th NDP • 2001-2005 – 6th NDP • 2006-2010 – 7th NDP • 2009-2013 –The Strategic Action Plan (8th NDP)

  6. DRM IN 7th NDP • 7th National Development Plan (2006-2010): • 12 goals for achieving the vision of the Plan • Of this Goals 5 is based on Spatial Development • Goal 5: Protect the natural environment and make people and property safer • Performance Targets: • Ensure 75% of all inhabited islands have adequate solid waste management facilities • Give protected status to 5% of the coral reef areas • Develop 10 safer islands • Increase access to safe drinking water for 100 percent of the population • Ensure all islands with population over 2,000 have adequate sewerage facilities

  7. DRM IN 8th NDP (SAP 2009-2013) • SAP 2009-2013 • Election manifesto-based operational plan of government • 5 key pledges + 26 key sectors = 31 areas/programs • Disaster Risk Management is 1 of 31 programs • Disaster Risk Management Program • Goals • Ensure that the Maldives is safe and resilient from all disasters • Create awareness building and build institutional framework for disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA)

  8. Changes in Planning Process for Drm • Historic focus: • DRR • Response (emergency management & operations) • eg: for coastal erosion, heavy/limited rainfall • Recovery (restoration of infrastructure & services, reconstruction) • eg: during 2004 tsunami, emergency response was provided initially but great effort was put into repair and reconstruction of infrastructure and public housing • Current focus: • Integration of Disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) • Prevention & mitigation, preparation as well as response and recovery • Mainstreaming DRM rather than treating it as a separate sector • Eg: DRR mainstreamed in the Education sector. “School Emergency Operations Plan” formulated and being implemented.

  9. BEYOND PLANNING FOR DRM: plan implementation, monitoring and evaluation, budgeting • For all 31 program including for DRM: • In 2010, budget aligned to program policies & strategies • In 2011, M&E framework developed • M&E tool  Results Framework (RF) + Evaluation Framework (EF) • RFs identifies sector outcomes & also sets targets, timeframes & indicators • EF  in-depth annual evaluation of the program • In 2011, M&E framework and budget aligned • Program results to be achieved for budget allocations have been identified. • This would allow for tracking of DRM funding and achieved outcomes for the sector
