Regional Forum on translating the global frameworks into practice Bangkok, Thailand, 29-30 August Thematic Session 1: Risk Informed Development Planning Training workshop on mainstreaming disaster risk reduction into development and budgeting plan at the sub-national level, 31 August I. Background Coherent approaches in the implementation of the global frameworks are required to achieve the ambitious Sustainable Development Goals, particularly to manage and reduce risks associated with disasters and effects of climate change. Coherence related to disaster risk reduction is more than just managing impacts of disasters, there is the need to address the underlying risks through risk-informed development process in systematic ways that reflect the goals of the global development agendas. Risk-informed development planning aims to protect development investments and ultimately building people s resilience. Three landmark frameworks- the Sendai Framework on Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change have all called upon member States to mainstream disaster resilience in the context of sustainable development. The role of local governments in decentralizing risk informed development and adapting the global agendas to local milieu and constraints is in the process of being fully operationalized. The coherence approach is emphasized in the various global, regional and national frameworks pertaining to disaster risk reduction and the United Nations member States in Asia and the Pacific have called for enhancing regional cooperation to build resilience to disasters in the region. Similar calls have been made in the New Delhi Declaration 2016 from the Asian Ministerial Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction (AMCDRR) 2016; Dushanbe Declaration on Disaster Risk Reduction for Resilience Building 2016, and the Islamabad Statement of the Regional Consultative Conference 2016. Operationalizing such an approach would require taking into account their implementation at the sub-national level. This includes a specific focus on knowledge sharing and strengthening capacities of governments to implement risk informed development planning and to design and implement strategies and policies that mainstream disaster risk reduction in all sectors and levels of government. In the Asia-Pacific region, few countries have taken concerted efforts to systematically mainstream and operationalize disaster risk reduction into various sectors of sustainable development to address the location specific gaps between DRR policies, plans and practices in sub-national planning and adapting risk thinking from a national to a local level. To promote this operationalization effort of the global frameworks, a thematic session on riskinformed development planning at subnational level and an additional day s training is being organised under the Regional Coordination Mechanism s Thematic Working Group on Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience as part of the Forum. In this thematic session, participants will
share various good practices in the region including ESCAP s pilot capacity building training workshop in mainstreaming disaster risk reduction into subnational development planning and budgeting processes in Central Java Province, Indonesia; UNDP s 5-10-50 programme to support countries and communities to deliver better risk-informed development; ADPC s training course of the regional consultative committee on disaster management on the mainstreaming disaster risk reduction into development; and GIZ s approach of suitability modelling as a good practice example for risk-informed spatial planning at subnational level. II. Proposed activity ESCAP, in collaboration with GIZ, IFRC, and ADPC, will organize a regional knowledge sharing workshop to deliberate and share good practices in the operationalization of the global frameworks through mainstreaming disaster risk reduction into subnational development planning and budgeting processes. III. Objective The overall aim of this thematic session is to promote experience sharing among the regional participants to enhance the technical capacity to mainstream DRR into development planning and financing, particularly at the subnational level and to provide a regional platform to build a cadre of disaster and planning who will take the lessons learned back to their respective countries. IV. Participants and resource persons The target participants will include government officials engaged in subnational development planning and budgeting, including those involved in disaster management, and related stakeholders. VI. Implementation arrangements The thematic session will be organized jointly by ESCAP, GIZ, ADPC and IFRC. ESCAP will provide, as a case in point, the most recent experience from its pilot capacity building training workshop in mainstreaming disaster risk reduction into subnational development planning and budgeting processes in Central Java Province, Indonesia VIII.
