  1. Capacity Development for Integrating Early Warning into Planning, Preparedness & Response UNDMTP Presentation, Session V: Early Warning Symposium 24 May 2006

  2. February 2006, 88 participants, 33 countries. Rethinking Capacity Development for Disaster Risk Reduction: Action 2005-2015 Three conceptual underpinnings: - Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) -OECD DAC Network on Governance: The Challenge of Capacity Development: Working Towards Good Practice -Multi-Stakeholder planning methodology- common ground for action taking. DMTP Global Meeting

  3. One of the most important elements of aid effectiveness –but remains a challenge. More than US $15 billion (1/4 of donor aid) spent on “technical cooperation”, most of which dealt with capacity development. 2004 Global Monitoring Report for MDGs-public sector capacity lagged behind all other MDG benchmarks. CD as a cross-cutting element of the HFA. Why Focus on Capacity?

  4. We know what capacities are needed – “how to do it” in practice is the challenge. Integration of disaster risk with development and political agendas. What have we learned from past experience for technical cooperation? How to make technical assistance more demand driven and not a supply driven business. Capacity involves skills and organizational performance, as well as incentives and good governance. Key Discussion Points

  5. Major EWS Challenges –Global Survey Inadequate political commitment Weak coordination among the various actors Lack of public awareness and public participation in the development and operation of early warning systems Gaps related to equipment, skills and resources. Weak areas- warning dissemination and preparedness to act. Integrating Early Warning into Preparedness and Response

  6. Common frameworks for early warning, risk management, change management and capacity development. Specialized/ technical as well as cross-cutting capacities. Capacity issues at three linked levels –enabling environment, organizational, individual/group. CD as an explicit objective of policies and plans. Integrated systems and network of systems approach. Linking training to org and inter-org effectiveness, cross-training. Harmonized technical cooperation/support. Local ownership –people centered, multi-stakeholder engagement/processes and accountability. Some Promising Practices

  7. Role of Partner Countries & Donors in Capacity Development Facilitating access to knowledge Brokering multi-stakeholders agreements Participating in policy dialogue & advocacy Creating space for learning by doing Providing incremental resources Capacity development Technical assistance
