Background: HFA Progress Monitoring and Review

• According to the HFA recommendations, Governments have the primary responsibility for taking measures to reduce disaster risks, and reviewing their progress in implementation.

• UNISDR has been assisting national efforts through a biennial monitoring and review process.

• This self-assessment process serves as a continuous feedback mechanism to capture trends, areas of progress and challenges with regard to achieving the strategic goals of the HFA.

• The 2013-15 HFA progress review exercise will provide an important source of information for the 3rd World Conference for Disaster Risk Reduction, to be held in Sendai, Japan in March 2015.
