Strategy of DRR Instruments Development

• Promote and strengthen the role of CDMA through joint planning (and budget) and implementation

• Develop a DRR Forum to support the works of CDMA, the Forum is composed of multi stakeholders (government, NGO, journalists, community representatives, academia)

• Ensure the engagement of CDMA and Forum to gain inter agency support, e.g. city parliament for legislation support, city asset management agency for funding allocation support, city law unit for legal drafting support, city development planning board for DRR mainstreaming in development support

• Official distribution of tasks among the authorized agencies for leading DRR instruments development, city development planning board for Risk Analysis and DM Plan, city law unit for DM Regulation, law school for academic paper

Project Achievements

• DM regulation draft is listed on the city parliament program of the FY 2014

• DRR is being 1 out of 11 priorities in the City Mid-term Development Plan 2013-2018

• Increased CDMA’s DRR-related budget allocation in the city budget revision of the FY 2013

• Increased CDMA’s DRR-related budget allocation in the city budget of 2014

• Acknowledgement of the CDMA by the City Mayor

Project Challenges

• Staff turn over at city government agencies• Missed understanding among stakeholders on the role of

the DRR Forum at the initial phase of DRR Forum development

Lessons Learned

• The DM Instruments belong to the city government, thus the ownership by the government should be ensured for the sustainability of DRR works. We collaborated with CDMA, other authorized agencies, and relevant stakeholders since the planning phase of the DM instruments development. It took time but the results are feasible, thus this strategy should be promoted and replicated in the future DRR programs.
