  2. INTER-AGENCY CONTINGENCY PLANS IN CENTRAL ASIA

  3. PREPAREDNESS AND CONTINGENCY PLANNING ISSUES: • IACPs are not operationalized • Contingency plans are not complementary (governments, agencies, regions) • Simulation exercise • Lack of government and NGO participation in the process • Not linked to Early Warning • Civil Unrest/conflict scenarios are not on the agenda (ex KGZ)

  4. EARLY WARNING ISSUES: • Fragmented and limited EW capacity • Poor analytical capacity • Delayed notification, dissemination and coordination • Need for EW information is not defined • Neglected conflict related EW • Resource constraints

  5. COORDINATION MECHANISMS

  6. COORDINATION ISSUES: • Weak coordination with government and local NGOs • Roles and responsibilities of regional agencies • Lack of regional coordination and collaboration • Regional information management

  7. RESOURCES for PREPAREDNESS • ISSUES: • Absence of dedicated rapid response stocks • Inconsistent use of internal rapid response funds • Lack of funding mechanisms for small scale disasters • Absence of resource mobilization mechanisms for slow onset emergencies • Stockpiling and logistics • Lack of donor interest for disaster preparedness

  8. RECOMMENDATIONS IACP • To regularly update and test IACP based on country specific risk profile • To seek for more government and local NGO involvement to IACP EW • To define requirements, capacities, and management of EW Coordination • To align local and global coordination mechanism • To revive CA Task force: TOR and composition • To define support to CA Center for DRRR Resources • To regularly analyze funding flow for emergency preparedness and response • To agree on rapid response mobilization of internal funds • To explore opportunity of CHF • To accelerate fast track procedures for emergencies • To explore stockpiling modalities for rapid response
