The document discusses the importance of mainstreaming disaster risk reduction (DRR) in policy frameworks, particularly highlighting case studies from the Philippines and India. It emphasizes the necessity of effective DRR mechanisms to minimize the impact of natural hazards, outlines the integration of DRR into national and local policies, and suggests strategies for building resilience and enhancing community preparedness. Key elements for successful implementation include understanding risk, engaging stakeholders, supporting legislative frameworks, and fostering awareness and education about disaster vulnerabilities.

EVOLUTION

Three subsequent Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) projects implemented by the Government of the
Philippines with technical guidance from FAO included process based DRR policy planning and
mainstreaming in agriculture
May 2009 – Dec
2011
• Strengthening capacities for
climate risk management
and disaster preparedness in
Bicol region
July 2012 – Dec
2013
• Enhancing capacities for
DRR in Agriculture in
Cambodia and the
Philippines
July 2014 – Dec

• Consolidating capacities for
DRR in Agriculture in

KEY ELEMENTS FOR MAINSTREAMING DRR
INTO POLICIES AND PROGRAMMES
• Understanding the risk and need
• Understanding and use of existing institutional
environment and capacities (what is already in
place?)
• Know how , availability of and access to good
practices and technology options for DRR
(evidence to make policies “tangible” at all
levels)
• Synergies and complementarity with other
policy development agendas

AWARENESS RAISING
19
Awareness-raising must be tackled, first and foremost, via the development of a
solid, rigorous body of evidence on:
■ Hazard mapping and physical exposure.
■ Disaster losses.
■ The socio-economic impact of disasters at national and community levels and
their relevance to the sustainable development agenda.
■ The scope for enhanced resilience.

ESTABLISHING AN ENABLING ENVIRONMENT
20
It is essential that governments prioritize risk reduction as a critical development challenge and
develop related policies, strategies and capabilities. They also need to make necessary legislative,
institutional, budgetary, project preparation and monitoring and evaluation arrangements. This
section reviews these variables to determine the state of the enabling environment for
mainstreaming in the Philippines and to identify potential ways of further strengthening it.
Legislation
• Sufficient, appropriate
legislative
arrangements for
disaster risk
management,
including the
mainstreaming of
disaster risk reduction
into development,
form a key component
of an enabling
environment
Disaster Risk Management
Strategy
• A comprehensive disaster risk
management strategy, actively involving
stakeholders at all levels of government as
well as the private sector, local
communities and civil society, is required
to implement the legislative framework
and to provide coordination and
monitoring mechanisms and
arrangements. Individual disaster risk
reduction actions and programs need to be
located within this strategy, rather than
treated as discrete, individual measures.
Integration of DRR into
national and local
government DP
• National and regional physical
framework plans consist of broad
policy pronouncements which are
translated into specific land-use
allocation and regulation decisions at
the local level and specified in
CLUPs. These plans feed into
socio-economic development plans at
each level of government, which, in
turn, set sectoral targets and
strategies.

21. WOODGROVE
BANK
CHANGE OF OPERATIONAL PRACTICE
21
Linking governance processes with “tangible” technical products/delivery
• Creating evidence-based, field-tested products/outputs perceived as value added promoting “locally visible”
incentives/value added to inform and support governance processes, e.g. through enhanced climate and
agro-meteorological services, validated and documented lessons learnt and Good Practice Options ; improved PDNA
methodology
Enhancing political commitment
• Proactively informing on linkages between national/local/sectoral processes and “global” commitments and agendas
thus highlighting importance of local/regional processes in wider contexts
• Get agricultural sector players stronger involved into DRR and CC international discussion

22. WOODGROVE
BANK
MEASURING PROGRESS
22
• ‘Include relevant indicators to monitor and evaluate any disaster risk reduction
components Consider disaster-related factors in identifying critical risks and
assumptions, developing a risk management plan and establishing risk indicators
• Monitor and assess performance of any disaster risk reduction components, the
impact of any disaster events and implications of any changes in vulnerability to
natural hazards and modify project activities, targets, and/or objectives
accordingly where necessary
• Assess disaster risk reduction achievements and shortcomings and adequacy of
the initial disaster risk assessment’
Monitoring,
evaluation, and
reporting on the
progress of DRR
implementation
require a system
that can be
comparable with
those of other
countries. The
UN/ISDR guidelines
and HFA template
are suitable for the
purpose.

LEARNING & EXPERIENCE SHARING
23
• Enhancing critical mass and voicing platform though close
collaboration and pooled messaging between various projects
(TCP AMICAF UNJPJ and DIPECHO);
• Catalysing expression of concrete demands at various levels to
inform decision makers to underline importance of topic and
trigger support; and
• Providing learning platforms across levels, regions and
agricultural extension contexts (regular learning/exchange
workshops with decision makers; leveraging on existing extension
programmes (e.g. FFS), use of PAR approaches)
