Reporting on progress from Arab Region 2007-2009: • National HFA Reports submitted online 2008/2009: • Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Syria, Yemen (22%!!!) • One in-depth country review “case study” Egypt • One drought risk reduction review– Djibouti • Progress review reports sent 2007: • Comoros, Djibouti, Morocco, Mauritania • Regional analysis and review of progress (coordinated with the League of Arab States and UNISDR - submitted to 2nd Global Platform 2009)

  4. GAPS Identified!!! • Weak and incomplete Institutional Frameworks • Inadequate technical capacity to implement DRR • Weak knowledge and info base for DRR • Weak coordination regional/national, national/national, national/local • Difficulty in reorienting from DM to DRR • Scarcity/limitation of adequate financing for DRR • Ensuring the sustainability of the set national agenda and policy to adopt the DRR

  5. Actions to bridge Gaps! • Political commitment to be asserted through regional policies on sustainable development • Capacity development, training and guidance for countries to accelerate HFA implementation • Support HFA Progress Monitoring & Reporting • Focus on “knowledge” including enhancement of data on risk, hazards and vulnerabilities • Use 2009 review as a benchmarking exercise to inform future plans and regional strategies. • Undertake a comprehensive, in-depth review with wider stakeholders engagements(2010-2011).
