In view f the areas utlined in the HFA, Pririty fr Actin 1 has fur cre indicatrs n which prgress and challenges n implementatin can be mnitred and reviewed: 1. Natinal plicy and legal framewrk fr disaster risk reductin exists with decentralised respnsibilities and capacities at all levels 2. Dedicated and adequate resurces are available t implement disaster risk reductin activities at all administrative levels 3. Cmmunity participatin and decentralizatin are ensured thrugh the delegatin f authrity and resurces t lcal levels 4. A natinal multisectral platfrm fr disaster risk reductin is functining Guidance fr this sectin A. The bjective f this sectin is t help yu assess the extent f prgress made with regard t implementatin f key activities as utlined in the HFA s Pririty fr Actin 1. B. Mark a suitable level f prgress, which realistically reflects the extent and nature f prgress made with regard t implementing the cre indicatrs listed fr this pririty fr actin. C. Each subsectin will give yu space t describe sme f the key cntextual reasns fr the cuntry s ranking / assessment at the indicated level. D.

Cre Indicatr 1: Natinal plicy and legal framewrk fr disaster risk reductin exists with decentralised respnsibilities and capacities at all levels A cuntry's cnstitutin, laws and gvernmental system prvide the basis t develp plans and institutinal arrangements fr all areas f disaster risk reductin. Assessing such elements can reveal gaps in resurces and capacities that were previusly underutilised r untapped. A cmprehensive disaster risk reductin plicy framewrk can als guide a gvernment in its disaster risk reductin plicies and strategies. Level f Prgress The levels f prgress will enable a self-assessment f the extent t which the plicies, prgrammes and initiatives are sustainable in achieving the indicated risk reductin bjectives. 1 Minr prgress with few signs f frward actin in plans r plicy 2 Sme prgress, but withut systematic plicy and/r institutinal cmmitment 3 Institutinal cmmitment attained, but achievements are neither cmprehensive nr substantial 4 Substantial achievement attained but with recgnized limitatins in capacities and resurces 5 Cmprehensive achievement with sustained cmmitment and capacities at all levels The level f prgress fr cre indicatr 1, under Pririty fr Actin 1, may be determined by assessing, fr example, if a natinal plicy fr disaster risk reductin / management is in place, is being apprpriately implemented and is sufficiently integrated int sectral plicies and natinal develpment plans. Belw is an indicatin f the state f achievements which help define the level f prgress achieved fr each pririty fr actin. 5
