1. Policy Formulation, Coordination & Monitoring: Role of Bangladesh Planning Commission孟加拉计划委员会角色介绍：政策制定，协调和评估 Presented by Prashanta Kumar Chakraborty Joint Chief, Programme Division Planning Commission, Government of Bangladesh

2. Introduction简介 Bangladesh, because of it’s geophysical location, topography and high population density is at risk of recurring natural and human induced hazards with an average 10 million people affected per year. Frequent floods, cyclones, river bank erosion, water-logging, drought and tornadoes significantly disrupt Bangladesh’s economy and the lives and livelihoods of it’s population. Bangladesh is in the top of the list of 10 most disaster affected countries. Climate change is adding a new dimension to the current risk environment with global predications suggesting that the country could expect more intense cyclones, storm surge and flooding, and that a rise in sea level could have a significant impact on the lives and livelihoods of up to 30 million people.

3. Introduction简介 Government of Bangladesh has been involved in disaster management related activities since after its independence by initiating Cyclone Preparedness Program (CPP) in 1973. Because of Bangladesh’s large, densely settled population, low income and widespread poverty, the impacts of disasters have been the focus of considerable international attention (World Bank, 2002). As a result international development organizations and NGOs started their operations jointly with the government very shortly after independence.

4. Introduction简介 Despite our ongoing efforts it seems a long way to go in disaster management for Bangladesh. UNISDR (2013) calculations revealed that 14% of our national GDP is still exposed to disasters every year. According to UNDP, between 1980 and 2008, Bangladesh experienced 219 natural disasters, causing over $16 billion damage in total. Threats arising from disasters remain high due to unstable economy of Bangladesh and the society. Vulnerability of lives and assets to disaster require strategic formulation and implementation of government policies and programs for disaster risk reduction (DRR).

5. Disaster Management Vision灾害管理目标 The government of Bangladesh sets the Disaster Management Vision as “to reduce the risk of people, especially the poor and the disadvantaged, from the effects of natural, environmental and human induced hazards, to a manageable and acceptable humanitarian level, and to have in place an efficient emergency response system capable of handling large scale disasters”. (GED, 2011)

6. Provision in Five Year Plan五年规划的灾害管理内容 The Seventh Five Year Plan (SFYP) will carry forward the implementation of the approved National Disaster Management Plan 2016-2021. it will continue the comprehensive all hazard, all risk and all sector approach and be built on the foundations laid in the last several years and learn from the positive experiences. The Bangladesh Disaster Management Model which made the basis for revising the disaster management policy and planning documents has mainly comprised of two inter-related elements: Disaster Risk Reduction and Emergency Response. The plan will focus more on DRR in order to reduce the relief and recovery needs and also be prepared to deal with any emergencies. In sixth FYP period, 164 disaster related projects are implemented by the 8 ministries/divisions.

7. Role of Bangladesh Planning Commission孟加拉计划委员会的角色 Bangladesh Planning Commission has been playing three types of roles: 三种角色 • Advisory咨询 • Executive &执行 • Coordination协调

8. Role of Bangladesh Planning Commission孟加拉计划委员会的角色 By formulation of Policy, Plan like Bangladesh Development Vision 2021, Perspective Plan, Five Year Plan, National Strategy for Sustainable Development, Annual Development Program (ADP), etc. PC have been playing advisory role.

9. Role of Bangladesh Planning Commission孟加拉计划委员会的角色 • By scrutinizing and processing of approval of different programs/projects through NEC, ECNEC and Minister of Planning or concerned authorities, P.C. have been playing the executive role.

10. Role of Bangladesh Planning Commission孟加拉计划委员会的角色 • Every year 1200+ projects are getting allocation and included in the ADP by the PC. By coordination of multi-sectoral and multi-agencies issues and monitoring, evaluation of multi-sectoral projects, PC have been playing the coordinating role. • In order to ensure central coordination and monitoring of the project activities of the several implementing agencies of the two projects, a Project Coordination and Monitoring Unit (PCMU) has been established in the Ministry of Planning/PC to coordinate, manage, monitor and continuously track and evaluate the project progress and impact.

11. The two projects are Emergency Cyclone Recovery & Restoration Project (ECRRP) and Urban Resilience Project (URP) under the financial assistance of World Bank. 由世界银行资助的应急飓风恢复和重建项目、城市韧性项目

12. Emergency Cyclone Recovery & Restoration Project (ECRRP)应急飓风恢复和重建项目 • Cyclone Sidr hit Bangladesh on 15th November, 2007 and caused extensive damage to lives and property in 30 districts of South Western part of Bangladesh. More than 9 million people were affected by it. The Government of Bangladesh and international experts undertook a need assessment jointly after the cyclone, which is known as Joint Damage, Loss and Need Assessment (JDLNA). The total damage and losses worth Tk 11,560 crore ($1.7 billion) was estimated by JDLNA caused by the cyclone. Based on this assessment an umbrella project was developed comprising of 7 sub projects costing $108 million from IDA credit. IDA provided additional fund of $2.96 million from Global Facility for Disaster Reduction & Recovery (GFDRR) as grant, $75 million from Crisis Response Window (CRW) fund and IDA regular Envelope as credit, $25 million from Bangladesh Climate Change Resilience Fund (BCCRF) as grant and $9 million from other sources. Considering the extensive damages and losses caused by Cyclone Sidr (2007) and subsequently by Cyclone Aila (2009), the World Bank and GoB have agreed to include additional fund of $140 million to facilitate recovery from the damages and losses caused by the Cyclone Sidr and Aila.

The Bangladesh Urban Resilience Project aims to strengthen the capacity of GoB agencies to respond to emergency events and to strengthen systems to reduce the vulnerability of future building construction to disasters in Dhaka and Sylhet districts. The project also seeks to create an enabling environment for coordinated, locally managed DRM based on three core pillars of disaster resilience in an urban settings: • Effectively respond to urban disasters有效地应对城市灾害 • Reinforce existing infrastructures增强现有基础设施 • Ensure resilient construction保证建筑施工具有韧性 Project Period: July 2015- June 2020 Project Cost: $180.5 million (World Bank fund: $173 million)

19. Urban Resilience Project (URP)城市韧性项目 The project development objectives:项目发展目标 • Assessing the vulnerability of essential infrastructure, public facilities, and lifelines; • Enhancing national-level and local-level DRM facilities and agencies in Dhaka and Sylhet to effectively plan and respond to urban disasters. This will be achieved by developing disaster response systems, including emergency operations center, interoperability communication systems, rescue and search equipment, and related training and drills; • Ensuring resilient construction by integrating disaster risk into development planning, and establishing the infrastructure to ensure an efficient process for land use and zoning clearance (e.g. improved permitting systems and building code enforcement)

20. Urban Resilience Project (URP)城市韧性项目 Implementation Arrangements:执行框架 • Department of Disaster Management (DDM): • Renovate and outfit national level DRM facilities • Provide training, exercises and drills to national level and local level agencies involved in DRM

21. Urban Resilience Project (URP)城市韧性项目 • Dhaka North City Corporation (on behalf of DNCC, DSCC, SCC and FSCD): • Build, renovate and outfit local level city corporation and FSCD DRM facilities • Supply, install and integrate specialized emergency management and communications technology (ECT) equipment for DRM and emergency response within the national level and local level agencies. • Supply specialized search and rescue equipment to local and national agencies involved in DRM

22. Urban Resilience Project (URP)城市韧性项目 RajdhaniUnnayanKartipakkhya (RAJUK): • Conduct a vulnerability assessment of critical and essential facilities and lifelines • Support the development of a risk-sensitive land use planning practice in Dhaka • Create and operationalize an Urban Resilience Unit (URU) in RAJUK to support DRR mainstreaming and improve Dhaka urban resilience • Establish an electronic construction permitting system • Introduce a professional accreditation program for engineers, architects and planners • Improve building code enforcement within RAJUK jurisdiction

23. Urban Resilience Project (URP)城市韧性项目 Project Beneficiaries:项目受益方 The project will indirectly benefit the 15.5 million people (48% women) living under the authority of the DNCC, DSCC and SSC due to access to improved emergency preparedness and response services. Other beneficiaries include: staff in the municipal public organizations in Dhaka and Sylhet, in addition to the members of the engineering and urban planning professional communities.

24. Conclusion结论 Disaster Management is a multi-sectoral issue. When disaster happens it affects each and every sector of the economy. In Bangladesh, disaster related programs and projects are mainly dealt by 9 ministries/divisions. So, a strong coordination and monitoring is needed for proper policy guidance, damage & loss assessment, preparation of projects, coordination and monitoring for addressing DRM issues. This type of coordination and monitoring system established by the GoB could be advised in other countries for proper implementation of disaster management projects.
