  2. What is GOVERNANCE? A mechanism that defines roles, responsibilities, accountability. Process anchored in clarity, integrity, growth and equity.

  3. What does GOVERNANCE involve? • More than public management and administration • Anchored in participation, consultation, Decision-making procedures • Distribution of public responsibility across multiple stakeholders

  4. ACCOUNTABILITY • Traditional - political and administrative • Political - directorate • Administration – obligation of public officials within law in applying procedures

  5. Goal: Sustainable Development in the Caribbean region SO: Comprehensive Disaster Management is integrated into the development processes of CDERA member countries. IR-1: Stronger regional and national institutions promote CDM. IR-2: Research and training support CDM. IR-3: Regional institutions and donors incorporate CDM in their own programs and promote CDM to their national members/clients. IR-4: Preparedness, response and mitigation capability is enhanced and integrated. IR-5: Hazard information is incorporated into development planning and decision making. COMPREHENSIVE DISASTER MANAGEMENT RESULTS FRAMEWORK CDM FRAMEWORK

  6. Regional Response Organisations Donor Agencies Specialized Technical Agencies CDERA National Disaster Organisations Private Sector Other Resource Agencies NGOs Who are the ACTORS IN CDM PARTNERSHIP?

  7. What are the perceptions of donors? • Host Government organizations are too weak and personnel insufficiently trained • Governments are corrupt • Bureaucracy is an obstacle to the free exercise of development and humanitarian assistance • Donor and aid organizations do not have to be accountable to Government

  8. What are the governance issues in CDM? • Who are the actors • What are the decision-making roles of the actors • What are the instruments used to engage discourse • How is the contribution of the stakeholders fashioned into policy and programme • What voice is given to the partners and when

  9. GOVERNANCE ISSUES IN CDM • What is the role and power of the state to vary the results of a stakeholder consensus? • What are the mechanisms for engagement of the political directorate? • What does this articulation of governance mean for the structure of existing management mechanisms?

  10. ACCOUNTABILITY DIALOGUE • Political commitment and the elevation of disaster risk reduction as a policy priority • The legal and regulatory framework for structuring discussion, defining roles and responsibilities and obligatory resources.

  11. ACCOUNTABILITY DIALOGUE • Institutional Frameworks and architecture for operationalizing policies and legislative measures. • Modalities of stakeholder participation • Capacity development at all levels for disaster risk reduction

  12. GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLES Determine Policy Commitment • Expressed or derived policy? • Reconcile cultural tensions, methodological differences • Budget allocation not always best commitment test

  13. GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLES Know Legal & Regulatory Framework • Anchor interventions to existing instruments • Assistance should be outcome and not time-driven • Making a difference rather than expending funds

  14. GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLES Do Not Abuse Institutional Framework and Structure • Know Legal Framework • Avoid interventions based on convenience and familiarity • Support building of strong local mechanisms

  15. GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLES Examine decision-making mechanisms • Promote participation in project design • Invest in ownership • Identify and minimize cultural biases in assessment process

  16. AID EFFECTIVENESS OUTCOMES * Ownership * Countries with national development strategies with priorities and resource requirements

  17. AID EFFECTIVENESS OUTCOMES * Alignment * • Reliable country systems • Aid flows aligned to national priorities • Strengthened capacity through coordinated support

  18. AID EFFECTIVENESS OUTCOMES • Use of Country systems • Strengthened capacity by avoiding parallel implementation structures • Predictable Aid • Untied Aid

  19. HARMONIZATION • Use of common arrangements and procedures • Encouraged shared analysis • Results oriented framework
