1. Towards a Culture of Disaster Prevention and Risk Management Andean Programme for the Prevention and Mitigation of Disasters

2. MULTILATERAL COOPERATION FUNDS (Pre-determined Country Lines) CAF SPECIAL PROJECTS (Regional interest sectoral initiatives; e.g. integration infrastructures IIRSA ) REGIONAL COOPERATION FUNDS (Studies & supports on regional priorities) ANDEAN DEVELOPMENT BANK (Support modalities, as channels for mainstreaming DPRM) PREANDINO (DPRM Institutional Strengthening based on Presidents mandate) CAF DEVELOPMENT FINANCING (Country Loans) MAINSTREAMING DPRM AS A CROSS-CUTTING ISSUE IN CAFS OPERATIONS

3. RELEVANCE OF ISDRS CONTRIBUTIONS IN THE ANDEAN REGION Timely support for policy decisions in the five Andean countries Timely support for policy decisions in the five Andean countries A DPRM policy approach framed in Sustainable Development strategies, based on international experiences A DPRM policy approach framed in Sustainable Development strategies, based on international experiences Valuable and updated information on best practices (Living with Risk, …. Webpage, CRID, etc. ) Valuable and updated information on best practices (Living with Risk, …. Webpage, CRID, etc. ) Joint efforts with CAF and Countries in the start-up of CIIFEN (International Research Centre located in the Andean Region) Joint efforts with CAF and Countries in the start-up of CIIFEN (International Research Centre located in the Andean Region) Conceptual contributions to CAF in the preparation of a DPRM policy framework for the banks operations Conceptual contributions to CAF in the preparation of a DPRM policy framework for the banks operations Linking institutions in the region to an international DPRM policy and knowledge network Linking institutions in the region to an international DPRM policy and knowledge network

4. Awareness, visions and Culture building on DPRM (Mainly in education systems at all levels) Widespread participation of Society in DPRM Incorporating DPRM in development planning (Within National, Sectoral and Territorial perspectives) Institutional, Legal and Managerial Frameworks for DPRM in development activities Knowledge development for DPRM (sustaining progress demands concentrating support at the local level) Application of Knowledge to reducing vulnerabilities KNOWLEDGE CULTUREINSTITUTIONAL PLATFORMS INCORPORATING THE HYOGO FA IN THE FUNDAMENTAL PROCESSES OF DPRM

5. Confusions and tensions remain among institutions on how to make DPRM concepts operational. Being a new theme, a pro-active promotion of knowledge, policy and practices is needed. Need for specialised technical assistance in implementing DPRM Cross-Cutting Approaches in the National, Sectoral and Territorial Plans Too high human resources rotation and frequent political changes in public agencies makes difficult to maintain the institutions knowledge base (institutional memory). Sustainability of processes in this context requires continuous support. To sustain and deepen current support to National & Regional Platforms: Providing information, supporting networking, facilitating dialogues on experiences; introducing Cross- cutting DPRM approaches in methodologies. To promote and support implementation of Information Systems and Knowledge Management practices to safeguard institutional memory; to promote synergies and alliances among and between donors and national institutions (lobbies, joint programmes, etc.) Facilitating access to technical assistance sources from donors and other agencies; continue promoting Cross-Cutting Approach among UN Agencies ACHIEVING PROGRESS IN THE HYOGO FA FROM AN ANDEAN PERSPECTIVE (1/2) Main Constraints in Achieving ProgressExpectations from the ISDR Systems

6. Lack of appropriate instruments for follow- up, progress assessment and impact evaluation of DPRM in development initiatives (benchmarks, methods), make policy adjustments difficult to implement To maintain and reinforce current support for developing simple and down-to-earth indicators of achievement in institutions capacities and reforms, as well as impacts of introducing DPRM and Hyogo FA follow-up A need for clarifying channels and procedures for requesting and receiving support in the Hyogo FA implementation and follow-up To elaborate and disseminate appropriate material and to provide advice and undertake capacity building activities; to elaborate a follow- up and progress assessment plan Mainstreaming DPRM in Development Planning (DP) is a complex and difficult task because of weaknesses in the processes and institutions. Additionally, new practices do not pay short term political dividends to public actors. To explicitly promote a leading role of development planning in National Platforms; to promote engagement of specialised UN agencies in supporting development planning processes at country level (country wide, sectoral and territorial) ACHIEVING PROGRESS IN THE HYOGO FA FROM AN ANDEAN PERSPECTIVE (2/2) Main Constraints in Achieving ProgressExpectations from the ISDR Systems
