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

Pilots
• Pilot : Indonesia & Philippines
• Period: 01 May – 31 July
• Focal points: NEDA ( Philippines),
BAPPENAS (Indonesia)
• Outcomes will be shared in the 2nd IAP
2011
(Will include the outcomes from the
High-level plenary organized at the
GP)

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.
11
What the pilots will do -
www.unisdr.org
B. Recommend and develop for future:
- Propose indicators adaptable to Planning
and Finance to ensure effective DRR
investments at national level
- Recommend a framework for allocating &
tracking both the types of investments (stand
alone & embedded)
12
www.unisdr.org
Longer term outcome:
• Assist the governments in allocating/defining
both the stand alone and implicit investments
• Assist the governments in tracking reporting
• Assist the Bilateral & Multilaterals to know what
is being invested (prioritize)
• COULD (possibly) help indicate the total
requirement
• Include in the MDG achievement/reporting
process
