  1. Integrating DRR into the CCA and UNDAF An Introduction ToT on Integrating DRR into the CCA UNDAF

  2. Background • UN 1997 reform agenda stressed challenges and new developments – including growing levels of disaster risk. • Since late 1990s a number of international commitments to DRR made including: (NB shift in focus away from seeing disasters as purely humanitarian) • UN Millennium Declaration • General Assembly (since 2004) • Johannesburg Programme of Implementation • Bali Action Plan • Hyogo Framework for Action ToT on Integrating DRR into the CCA UNDAF

  3. Background • Growing awareness of the potential impact of climate change has focused increasing attention and awareness on how existing climate risk is being managed. • As the impact of climate change is increasingly felt so too will the scale and unpredictability of climatic hazards & related disasters. ToT on Integrating DRR into the CCA UNDAF Disaster Risk Reduction Mainstreaming Module – Disasters & Development – Presentation 02 (Disaster Nexus) – Slide 3 – 21 October, 2014

  4. Background • Hyogo Framework for Action includes specific commitments to integrating DRR: • through the Resident Coordinator system and the United Nations Country Teams; and • into development assistance frameworks, such as the Common Country Assessments, the United Nations Development Assistance Framework and Poverty Reduction Strategies. ToT on Integrating DRR into the CCA UNDAF

  5. Background • 2007 UNSG’s Policy Committee made specific recommendation on DRR and climate change agreeing on three decisions centred on: • The importance of raising greater, political attention/advocacy on benefits of DRR & consequences of not investing in it; • To commit the UN to enhance links between DRR and climate change adaptation agendas; and • To promote the better mainstreaming of DRR and the HFA into the UN system’s policies and practices. • UN Development Group (UNDG) Task-team established under the UNDG Programming Group. ToT on Integrating DRR into the CCA UNDAF

  6. Integrating DRR into CCA/UNDAF • Integrating DRR in CCA and UNDAF process is... • an important stepping stone towards integrating DRR into national level development • an important sign of the UNCTs political commitment for risk reduction • an opportunity to increase likely success of country programmes in risk prone countries. • In support of this process UNDG has developed a guidance note for UNCTs. ToT on Integrating DRR into the CCA UNDAF

  7. Purpose of the Guidance Note • An annex to the core CCA/UNDAFguide. • Intended to support UNCTs embarking on CCA/UNDAF in countries where disaster risk is an important challenge development. • Targeted at UN but also of interest to other stakeholders providing helpful guidance on integrating DRR into broader development analysis, strategic planning and programming. • Close relationship between DRR & climate change adaptation means also of use when working on climate change issues. ToT on Integrating DRR into the CCA UNDAF

  8. The Guidance Note Identifies critical steps for integrating DRR into the analytical and strategic planning process to help UNCTs to: • Analyse disaster risk • Review how disaster risk interacts with development • Examine national capacities and risk reduction options • Identify priorities for DRR intervention • Agree on the most appropriate areas for UNCT support in DRR • Include DRR as an integral part of UNDAF M&E ToT on Integrating DRR into the CCA UNDAF

  9. Content of the Guidance Note • Introduction: The relationship between disaster and development and key commitments to DRR. • Part 1: DRR and the CCA UNDAF key principals for engagement. • Part 2: DRR in the country level analysis. • Part 3: DRR in the preparation of the UNDAF and key considerations. • Part 4: M&E of DRR efforts. ToT on Integrating DRR into the CCA UNDAF

  10. Examples of DRR in work of UNCT Disaster risk reduction has been integrated into the work of the UNCT in a range different ways e.g. • Integrating DRR into the full process of UNDAF development (analysis, strategic planning/outcome formulation) e.g. Indonesia • Joint UNCT reviews of the UNDAF e.g. Cape Verde • Making DRR a major theme of an UNDAF review or evaluatione.g. Turkey • Joint UN Programming for DRR e.g. Pakistan & Mozambique.
