1. Strategy for Disaster & Climate Resilient Development in the Pacific (SRDP)

2. Purpose of the Workshop
To provide an opportunity to you, as Development Partners, to:
Learn more about the Roadmap process for the development of a new integrated strategy on CC and DRM for the region
Understand how you can contribute to this process
Provide input into the development of the new strategy through feedback and perspectives from your own work and experience
Identify ways to continue your engagement with the Roadmap process

3. The “Roadmap”?

4. The “Roadmap Process”
The process towards a “Strategy for Disaster and Climate Resilient Development in the Pacific region” (SRDP)
New strategy will be different from the previous ones: It will integrate CC response and DRM into one single strategy and will replace the two existing regional frameworks, expiring in 2015 (PIFACC and RFA) 

7. The “Roadmap Process”
Mirroring on-going CC/DRM integration efforts at national level
A Challenge: It involves bringing together several communities of practice:
Climate Change (including CCA and CCM)
Disaster Risk Management (including DRR and DM)
A great Reward: The Pacific is the first region in the world to develop an integrated CC/DRM strategy.

8. Why an integrated strategy?
Recognition of CC/DRM overlaps and shared focus on reducing risk & increasing resilience
Better coordination on common issues
Reduced duplication of efforts
More efficient use of capacity and resources
Improved coherence across policies and plans
More effective mainstreaming of CC/DRM across the various development sectors

9. Why an integrated strategy?
Climate Change is likely to increase the intensity of climate related hazards
Climate Change will causes ecosystem degradation, reduction in food and water availability, and changes in communities’ livelihoods that in turn increases vulnerability
Hazard x Vulnerability = Disaster Risk
Both DRR and CCA strategies seek to decrease communities vulnerability to risks and promote resilience
Both disaster and climate risks hinder sustainable development

10. The Roadmap Deliverables
Strategy for disaster and climate resilient development in the Pacific (SRDP)
Progress report for existing regional frameworks for DRM and CC (RFA and PIFACC)
Compendium of case studies for DRM and CC in the Pacific
The three to be developed concurrently

11. The Roadmap Process Led by a Steering Committee:
Members are PICT reps from:
Pacific Climate Change Roundtable (PCCR)
Pacific Meteorological Council (PMC)
SPREP Meeting
SPC CRGA
Pacific Regional Disaster Managers Meeting (RDMM)
Forum of Economic Ministers Meeting (FEMM)
+ One representative for the 3 French Territories
Members jointly representing the interests of the Pacific region
->>

12. Role of the Steering Committee
The Steering Committee has been established to provide leadership and guidance over the Roadmap process
Review and comment on the format and content of the draft strategy and other deliverables
Take decisions on the strategic direction of the Roadmap process
Endorse deliverables that will be submitted for official endorsement in 2014 and 2015.

13. The Roadmap Process
Supported by a Technical Working Group + 2 Regional Advisors
Role of the TWG:
Support the development of SC meetings’ agendas
Facilitate SC meetings
Support the engagement and consultation process (of national stakeholders, development partners, etc.)
Review and comment on Roadmap deliverables and related documents before submission to the SC
Support information and communication efforts (draft info/comm plan is being developed)

16. Engagement & Consultations
Our ‘philosophy’
The Roadmap process is to be…
As inclusive as possible. All relevant stakeholders being given the opportunity to contribute
Based on the concept of continual engagement with the various stakeholders rather than on a ‘one off consultation”
Led and owned by Pacific Island Countries and Territories
Visible and Transparent

17. Engagement & Consultations
Countries & Territories
Invite PICTs to establish their own process for ongoing involvement in Roadmap process
TWG + Regional Advisors to provide assistance for implementation of national consultations
Use of existing mechanisms when possible (ex. JNAP processes, national CC/DRM platforms, PACC or GCCA steering committee meetings, etc.)
Dedicated national consultations
Table identifying for each PICT: TWG contact point, in-country focal point and national mechanism to use
->>

18. Engagement & Consultations
Development Partners and Donors
Ensure relevant development partners and donors are active participants in the Roadmap process
Use coordination mechanisms such as the Development Partners for Climate Change (DPCC) and the Coordinating Committee of the Pacific DRM Partnership Network (CoCo)
Special session of the DPCC for consultations: November 6th 2013

19. Engagement & Consultations
NGOs, Private Sector, Emergency Managers and Humanitarian Actors

Thank you

25. Group Work 1
Contributions of the Private Sector to Enhancing the Resilience of Development
In small groups: Please identify ways in which the private sector can contribute to resilient development, including through strengthened risk management; low carbon development; strengthened preparedness, response and recovery; and clarification and management of emerging issues.

26. Group Work 2 Ensuring Effective and Efficient Implementation
a) Decision Making – how can the private sector help ensure that decisions are well informed and actioned?
b) Institutional Arrangements/Coordination - how might institutional arrangements best be rationalised and strengthened so that the private sector can play more active and effective roles in improving coordination and achieving more effective partnerships, including through improvements in communications and advocacy?
c) Mobilization of Resources – what roles can the private sector play to achieve improvements related to information, knowledge building, human resources development, financial resources, standards, good practices, and building on lessons?
d) Monitoring, Reporting and Evaluation – what are the key elements of a system that will support a regular assessment of the implementation of the SRDP,?
