Why this initiative?
Why this initiative?
• The Delhi Declaration on Disaster Risk Reduction
(Nov 2007) :
– Request the regional stakeholders to work together more closely
towards greater coherence and harmonization of their efforts as a
generic point of entry for enhanced regional cooperation;
– Call upon the ISDR Asia Partnership to improve exchange and the
mapping of regional disaster reduction initiatives of various
stakeholders…
Why this initiative?
IAP members with support from ADB started this initiative on ‘Regional
Stocktaking and Mapping of DRR interventions in Asia and Pacific’..
To develop a system which will help in achieving:
– Greater coherence and better coordination at regional level
– Support in periodic progress reviews and reporting processes at
regional and sub-regional levels
– Prioritizing deliverables- improved planning and programming of DRR
Interventions, assist donors and decision makers to channel resources
2.What have we achieved till date?
What have we achieved till date
An online system (www.drr
project portal.com) has been
developed
Captures information on DRR
projects and programmes
(past/on going/planned)
Scope limited to regional
projects and programmes
Features of the DRR project portal are

Establishing linkages with
•Global and Regional DRR Knowledge
Management Portals and contributing to
them by adding information on DRR Projects
•National DRR Knowledge Management
Portal and contributing by providing
information on National DRR Projects
•Internal Portals of partner organizations –
ensuring the projects entered in their portal
is imported to the DRR project portal
•Regional portals on specific themes such
as CCA and ensuring projects common to
CCA and DRR are shared between both the
portal
•
•
•
•
Create ownership
Will increase usage
Better dissemination of information
Long term sustainability
Linkage with : Asia-Pacific Gateway for DRR & Development
• Gateway acts as a knowledge
platform specifically on information
related to DRR and Development
• Projects entered into DRR Project
Portal on different sectors are linked
under the various themes (sectors
and issue) identified by the Gateway
• The two systems do not duplicate
each others functions, but have
been linked to strengthen its
objective
Linkage with: ASEAN DRR Portal
• Currently under development by the
ASEAN Secretariat, the ASEAN DRR
Portal is intended to serve the
knowledge management need for all
ASEAN countries
• The Portal has one section on DRR
Projects in ASEAN region and this
section is directly linked with the
DRR Project Portal
Linkage with: IFRC Internal Project Database
• Internal IFRC database and
resource mapping system under
development to record all IFRC
projects and resources
• Being developed with the same
software and operating system
as the DRR Project Portal for
compatibility
• DRR Project Portal will be
automatically updated with Red
Cross and Red Crescent
Societies’ DRR projects as
entered onto internal IFRC
database
Linkage with: Climate Change Adaptation Web Portal
• Climate Change Adaptation Web
Portal already has a section on CCA
related projects
• Currently linkage is being
established to ensure the CCA
related projects with DRR sub-theme
to be imported to the DRR Project
Portal
• Similarly, DRR Projects with CCA subtheme captured in the DRR Project
Portal will be exported to the
Climate Change Adaptation Web
Portal

Linking at national level in selected countries
• Five pilot countries for developing similar DRR project information system
at national
– Philippines/ Sri Lanka/Vietnam/Indonesia/Fiji/Vanuatu
• Chosen based on expression of interest from countries at IAP meetings,
diversity of geographic and population size, with and without existing DRR
knowledge management (KM) systems, and regional location
• National DRR Project Portal development to be led by respective
countries, in consultation with national stakeholders, fitted within the
overall DRR KM need of the country and closely linked to the regional
project portal to maximize usage
Progress in the Philippines
• Being led by the National Disaster Risk
Reduction and Management Council
(NDRRMC)
• Initial consultation meeting held with
NDRRMC members in Manila on 22nd July
2011 to scope out the national system
– How does it fit within the overall
information/KM need of DRR in the country,
link with NDRRMC website
– How does it meets the functions of NDRRMC
to coordinate sharing of DRR information in
the country as well as monitor progress on
DRR implementation in the country
– How well to link with existing 3 W system in
the country led by UNOCHA (on response)
Progress in Sri Lanka
• Being led by Disaster Management Center (DMC)
of Ministry of Disaster Management
• Initial national consultation (27 July, 2011) held
as part of monthly meeting National Disaster
Management Council Meeting to discuss the
scope of such proposed national DRR
database/system
– Where does this fit within the recently
revamped information portal of DMC as well as
link to the SAARC KM Portal (SKDN), which has
country pages for each of the countries from
South Asia
– How to design a system which can be led and
maintained by DMC in the long run
– How well to link with existing 3W system (led by
UNOCHA) as well as other databases developed
in the country such as DESINVENTAR
Progress in Vietnam
• Led by Disaster Management Center
(DMC) and being developed as
component of CCFS website and as part
of national DRR information needs of the
country
• National Consultation workshop held
with DMC and other DRR stakeholders in
Hanoi on 8th August 2011

Initial discussion with Indonesia
• Indonesia already have a
well developed and
functioning 3 W system
• Preliminary discussion
with BNPC and with UNDP
and UNOCHA in Indonesia
on linking existing system
with regional DRR portal
as well as embedding it
within the overall
national information on
DRR information
management
Link with Myanmar Information Management Unit
• Disaster Risk Reduction
section of the Myanmar
Information Management
Unit (MIMU) has one section
on DRR projects in Myanmar
and this section gets data
directly from the DRR
Project Portal filtered to
show only projects in
Myanmar
• Includes a link for inputting
projects which then directs
to the DRR Project Portal

3.Are we moving towards expected outcomes
?
Some statistics on DRR Project
Portal shows increase use, more
project information being
populated in the system
•
•
•
•
> 780 DRR projects
> 90 DRR frameworks
> 4,800 visitors (since launch in Oct. 2010)
Nearly 300 registered use
But does this
mean we are
moving towards
outcomes?
Let us look at what the 2nd AMCDRR called for
24
2nd AMCDRR called for a system that will help in
Regular reporting of information
on regional DRR initiatives for
achieving coherence and better
coordination
DRR Project Portal
developed and maintained
by a partnership based
approach (namely IAP) has
provided a neutral platform
for sharing information on
regional projects being
undertaken in Asia and the
Pacific in a standardized
format.
25
2nd AMCDRR called for a system that will help in
Support in periodic
progress reviews and
reporting processes at
regional and subregional levels
Links have been established with
larger DRR knowledge platform
of sub-regional organisations
such as ASEAN, SAARC and
SOPAC- these agencies are also
mandated with preparing
periodic biennial HFA Progress
Report at a sub-regional level,
the project information captured
in the Portal would help these
agencies to develop the Progress
Reports
26
2nd AMCDRR called for a system that will help in
Prioritizing deliverablesimproved planning and
programming of DRR
Interventions, assist
donors and decision
makers to channel
resources
