Development of a conceptual framework for mainstreaming disaster risk reduction into development
Consultancy on behalf of: UNDP Bureau for Crisis Prevention and Recovery Disaster Reduction TeamProject: Development of a conceptual framework for mainstreaming disaster risk reduction into development.
Consultant: Emily Wilkinson (emily.wilkinson@ucl.ac.uk)
Duration: May 2007 onwards (ongoing)
Page last updated: 11 July 2007.
Mainstreaming disaster risk reduction (DRR) is a much used concept in the disaster risk reduction community over the last few years. However, there is still little clarity on exactly what it entails or how it should be carried out. In order for UNDP and the UN system at large to be a sound advocate to governments for mainstreaming DRR, it is important that it is able to effectively and clearly articulate what is meant in practical terms by ‘mainstreaming DRR’.
To this end UNDP’s Global Mainstreaming Initiative for Disaster Reduction is supporting the development of a practical framework which will seek to outline the major components of a mainstreamed approach. This conceptual framework will enable UNDP to better articulate and advocate for the different kinds of entry points that can be used by partner governments and other interested stakeholders.
The main objective of the consultancy is to draft a conceptual framework for mainstreaming DRR. The draft framework will provide the conceptual basis for UNDP’s efforts to promote DRR mainstreaming with their national offices and partner organizations.
A final report will soon be posted on the BUHRC website.
