1 Momentum for resilience in DFID? Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) Policy, 2006 Humanitarian Emergency Response Review (HERR) UK Response to the HERR, 2011 Economics of resilience in the Horn, 2012 and VFM push ICAI report on the 2011 Horn response Triggers/flexible financing/resilience investments Climate strategic programme reviews

2 DFID working definition Disaster Resilience is the ability of countries, communities and households to manage change, by maintaining or transforming living standards in the face of shocks or stresses - such as earthquakes, drought or violent conflict - without compromising their long-term prospects.

3 Elements of the DFID Resilience Framework

4 Minimum Standard for embedding DR: Designate an Office Champion for DR Carry out a Multi-hazard Disaster Risk Assessment Develop a country or regional DR strategy Disaster proof new Business cases Develop new programmes and adapt existing programmes to support DR Develop an emergency response plan Contribute to bi-annual reporting to Ministers on DR

5 DFID approach in Kenya Support to GoK MTP to End Drought Emergencies: Support to peace and security efforts Strengthening human capital: access to key public services Supporting a safety net for the very poorest Strengthening public and household assets to build better coping and adaptive livelihood strategies. Supporting private sector to create opportunities/ stimulate growth. Strengthening institutions in national and county government No regrets and early response. Sustainability.

6 Stresses, shocks & seasonal vulnerability ENSuRRe: nutrition services Health Progs: maternal/ newborn and family planning Education Progs: cash grants, school development fund & WWW EMAS: Elections management and security Fig. X. Shows layering/ integration of DFID programmes, targeted income groups and alignment with GoK Outcome 1: Ending Drought Emergencies by 2022 Key Size of bubble approximately represents size of DFID planned or actual programme investment Coherence with GoK planning is indicated through reference to GoK EDE outputs (SRAs) and outcomes Left of diagram and background colour indicates approximate income-range of programme target beneficiaries Transparent shading indicates programmes intended to be scalable in bad seasons (contributing to SRA 2 emergency preparedness and response) Outcome 1: Accelerated investment in the foundations for development Outcome 2: Stronger policy, institutional financing framework for drought management SRA 5: More sustainable & adaptive livelihoods SRA 3: Climate-proof infrastructure SRA 1: Peace and Security Absolute poor Hard core poor HSNP: Hunger Safety Net Programme MAP: Support to markets & value chain STARCK+: Incl. challenge fund for private sector ASP: Livelihoods support Green Mini Grids: Power (planned) starck: climate planning support AGI: Action research SRA 4: Human capital development SRA 6: Coordination Institution al support to NDMA or counties in specific sectors (e.g. EMAS, ASP, Health, ENSuRRe, starck+) Level of routine & scalable food aid still required where HSNP not appropriate (not currently supported by DFID)

7 What has changed? Sustainability (Alignment and coordination opportunities) GoK policy, strategy, institutions (CPP, NDMA, NDCF) Internal DFID Multi year financing Blurring of dev and hum spend/sharing of accountability for response Aiming for predictability/scalability in humanitarian and dev responses HSNP II; Nutrition; Arid Lands support Recognising linkages between programmes

8 Obstacles, challenges, opportunities Sustainability: GoK EDE Multi-sectoral; MTP transforming to MTEF 2013? 2014? Underfunded strategic response areas Devolution and capacity challenges, opportunity and risks Evidence. M&E. Internal Get on & implement: Finalising scalability, flexible financing, triggers (working with others?) Ensuring commitment to greater linkages becomes real Time intensive Making this work in other countries where principle risk is conflict and in fragile states where CPP process weaker

9 Expectations of UN Potential partner for delivery, but there is competition.. Learning from each other and common M&E Key role at strategic level Kenya experience, but in more fragile states.joint analysis, strategy, programming..
