Why CCA& DRR needs to be incorporated into National & Sectoral Development Planning processes? o o o o o o o o Climate change & Disasters have an enormous impact on development Disasters and climate change impacts may have a significant affects on various sectors of development Agriculture, Urban, Rural Housing settlements, Health & Education Water Road infrastructure Local Government Power & Energy Environment The scare resources that are programmed for development are often diverted for relief and rehabilitation efforts. To minimize losses & damages due to disasters

Link between Disasters & Development Development Realm Development can Increase Vulnerability Development can reduce vulnerability Disasters can set back Development Disaster can provide development opportunities Disaster Realm

Strategies available at present to incorporate DRR in the development projects Use Integrated Strategic Environment Assessment recommendation in future development Assess disaster impacts of future projects with a view to mitigate Use of hazard zonation maps developed at present for identified hazards Incorporate hazard maps of urban areas in preparing Urban Development Plans. Awareness programme for public and govt to educate on the importance of mainstreaming DRR

Issues Linking Disasters with Sustainable Development DRR requirement falls into gaps between donor s humanitarian and development wings Assumption that poverty focused development will automatically reduce disasters Lack of analysis on whether DRR pays Incentives given for Disaster Risk Reduction does not guarantee short term rewards, which donors and political authorities expect

Major Challenges Disaster Risk Reduction is not adequately considered as a priority in Development Planning processes Inadequate enforcement and authoritative powers to implement and monitor disaster preparedness and mitigation measures Lack of technical and legal framework to integrate DRR into national & sect oral planning
