Background

• The 2009 GP chair summary asked to invest at least 2% of GDP on DRR.

• In 2010 4AMC declaration asked to increase GDP investment but also allocate 10% from humanitarian funds.

• Why 2% ( why not x%?). What is the totality we are asking the govts to invest in?

• How are governments investing now?

Challenges• Do we know how much is required? • What is DRR allocation? How do

governments allocate?• what constitutes effective national and

local investments ? • Lack or inadequate data on DRR

investments mainly at sub-national, provincial and sectoral levels.

• Inconsistency in definitions to track investments and expenditure on DRR

• Tracking ‘implicit’ investments in DRR

What the pilots will do -A. Classify, measure and account the current investments:- Document existing financial mechanisms at the national, local and community levels, for the following:

- allocating & tracking investments on DRR with regard to stand-alone (explicit) DRR investments ( for example - early warning, preparedness, risk assessments etc)  

- mainstreamed (implicit/embedded) investment on risk reducing measures imbedded in infrastructure as well as investment measures related to development sectors such as transport, health, education and agriculture - Identify lessons learnt/good practice regarding what constitutes effective financing of disaster risk reduction at national–– current status and gaps in knowedge.

both the stand alone and implicit investments• Assist the governments in tracking reporting• Assist the Bilateral & Multilaterals to know what

requirement• Include in the MDG achievement/reporting

process
