This is the 2nd edition of the Disaster Risk Management Program for Priority Countries, originally published by GFDRR
in 2009. It now includes the country programs missing in the first edition (Burkina Faso, Malawi, Mali, Senegal, and
Philippines1) as well as an update of the DRM Country Program for Haiti (to take into account the impact of the January
2010 earthquake), Panama, Guatemala, Ecuador, Colombia, Costa Rica
As indicated in the previous edition, the presented programs are indicative; as the detailed planning and implementation
phases have started, further dialogue with the Governments and other partners has refined the agendas and prioritized
interventions.
13 country programs have already received an initial allocation totaling $22.86M, representing 25.25% of the total
$90.522M planned for these country programs. Ethiopia ($1.75M), Malawi ($1M), Mali ($1.4M), Mozambique ($1.46M),
Nepal ($1.8M), Senegal ($1.4M), Solomon Islands ($2M), Togo ($1.75M), Indonesia ($2M), Vietnam ($2M), Djibouti
($1M), Haiti ($4.8M) and Panama ($500k).
In each priority country, GFDRR has hired DRM Specialists to facilitate a more effective implementation of the respective
country programs as well as a greater DRR harmonization at the country level among all the key partners, including better
integration of the DRR and climate adaptation as part of the overall national development agendas.
GFDRR is in the process of implementing its Results Agenda, which remains one of its top priorities. The GFDRR
Results Model provides an innovative way forward and a methodology for quantifying DRM Mainstreaming Progress
and Impacts across all priority countries, which will further strengthen the strategic positioning of our efforts. Preliminary
operationalization of the GFDRR Results Framework has resulted in unearthing key findings, which in turn completes the
virtuous cycle of mainstreaming a results-based thinking in everything that GFDRR does.
The ability to view GFDRR impact on country performance helps GFDRR strategically focus on its portfolio of countries.
The ability to measure our impact in a country and to be able to look at the performance of that country simultaneously
would help us in strategically positioning our efforts to be able to extract the most return on investment with respect to
developmental impact.
At its 5th meeting in Copenhagen in November 2008, the GFDRR Consultative Group asked the Secretariat to focus on
a select group of priority countries to achieve increased impact.
In GFDRR ?s Track II , Mainstreaming Disaster Risk Reduction in Development, this lead to a prioritization of operations
in 20 core countries, including Burkina Faso, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Ghana, Haiti, Indonesia, Kyrgyz Republic,
Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Marshall Islands, Mozambique, Nepal, Panama, Papua New Guinea, Senegal,
Solomon Islands, Togo, Vietnam, and Republic of Yemen.
