– 2 publications of Regional Syntheses Report on DRM progress: 2009, 2012 (under development)
Issues/Challenges/Opportunities (1/2)
1. Coordination of partner efforts in supporting DRR and DM in PICs– WG’s and Coordinating Committee
2. Monitoring and reporting of activities – regional and national
3. National and sub national mainstreaming initiatives
4. Strengthening of institutional/governance arrangements for DRM, CCA and ‘Development’– National and Sub national
5. Ongoing strengthening of the Pacific Disaster NetI̶ To help keep the PDN relevant and responsive to
needs of users
Issues/Challenges/Opportunities (2/2)
6. Development of a strategic alliance between NDMOs, PIFSA and AFAC to strengthen emergency/disaster response coordination at national and regional level
• Twinning arrangements between NDMOs and AFAC members in Australia and New Zealand
• Mentoring, training• Interoperability between emergency responders – NDMOs,
Fire and Police
7. Develop a DRM competency framework8. Development of the integrated regional strategy for
DRM and CC by 2015, and contributions to the post HFA framework
• Succeed the Pacific DRR & DM Framework for Action 2005 – 2015 and Pacific Islands Framework for Action on Climate Change 2006 - 2015
Lessons Learned1. Stay relevant to the needs of Pacific island
countries and territories• Invest significantly in on going institutional strengthening and capacity
building support e.g. DRM and CCA strategic planning at national level; revision of DRM governance arrangements
2. Perception: Partnership Network = Partner organisations
• Not easy to build a sense of ownership amongst PICs of initiatives introduced from the ‘outside’
3. Be able to back up what we advocate for4. PICs place alot of value in the ‘human’ face of DRM
capacity building• Requires more effort, more presence
5. Adaptability and flexibility 6. Develop structure and systems to complement
strategy – not the other way around• The new integrated regional strategy for DRM and CC in 2015 will give the
Pacific the opportunity to re-look at the support structure for overall DRM and CC institutional strengthening and capacity building
