National Platforms – Overview of developments in 2008

•Number of National Platforms (slowly) increasing•More recognition and interest to work through and support National Platforms among ISDR system partners (UN, IFRC, WB, regional and bilateral agencies)

New NPs declared in 2008/ 09:

•Asia/Pacific: Sri Lanka (January 2008), Indonesia (2008/2009)

•Central Asia : Kazakhstan (January 2008)

•Europe: Italy (January 2008)

•Africa : Senegal (March 2008 – launched in 2005 with UNISDR support, but never formalized)

•Americas: Dominican Republic (March 2008), El Salvador, Jamaica (July 2008), Argentina (October 2008), Peru (February 2009)

Dispelled myths - Understanding that NP does not mean naturally setting up a new institution and that it can have several ramifications

Recognition for National Platforms as:• An appropriate tool to involve multiple stakeholders and multiple

sectors• A way to ensure more systematic exchange, joint work programming

and implementation of HFA key activities• A mechanism for more efficient and effective reduction of risks linking

humanitarian, development and climate change adaptation actors• The official ISDR system mechanism at national level, closely linked

to regional and international processes

Appropriate human and financial resources and support are available to equip National Platforms and HFA Focal points to carry out what is expected from them and on a longer-term basis

National Platform is a key player in reducing risks at both national and sub-national/ local level achieving tangible results by spearheading implemention of HFA key activities

Are we there?

Discussion points

Have National Platforms (or other multi-stakeholder national coordination mechanisms) in Latin America and the Caribbean reached their full potential and respond to what is expected from them in terms of inclusive national coordination, support for mainstreaming, advocacy, awareness-raising and capacity development, measuring and reporting on progress?

If not, what is needed to improve their role and functioning?Which specific action points do you suggest and who should be

involved in it?

ww

Discussion points (cont‘d)1. Official and de facto recognition of National Platform/ other multi-

stakeholder national mechanism as important entity to consult for decision-making on DRR/ development programming and implementation (and de facto progress in influencing policy making, programmes and implemention) – appropriate institutional anchoring

2. Buy-in and support (incl. involvement) by national, regional and int. development and humanitarian agencies, NGOs and banks

3. Efficiency of national systems and role of National Platform, incl vis-à-vis other national focal point systems (avoiding duplication, reducing transaction costs, learning from experience),

4. Inclusiveness of existing systems and National Platforms (Does any stakeholder have a voice? Do we effectively galvanize the full potential of diverse actors?),

5. Link between the national and the sub-national local level (relevance of National Platform action for local level risk reduction/ building of resilience)

6. Effectiveness of information-sharing and exchange on a regional/ sub-regional and international scale (Do we learn from others? Do others learn from us? Do we have/ do we use appropriate information-sharing channels?)

Way forward/ Global Platform/ HFA mid-term review

Role of National Platforms in Regional and Global Platform processes

What is Latin American and Caribbean National Platforms‘ message and recommendations to the ISDR community and beyond gathering at Global Platform in June 2009 in Geneva?

How should the Global Platform‘s Chair summary support National Platforms?

Which decisions and key action should be taken at national, regional/ sub-regional and global level on National Platforms by 2011 and 2015?

However, National Platforms mostly not visible and strong enough:

• NPs in most countries not yet considered as a key institution when planning risk reduction activities (focus on NDMO)

• NPs not yet systematically involved in development planning (at times not even by ISDR partners)

• Mostly combining both disaster management and disaster risk reduction function, which tends to give a biais to emergency preparedness, management and recovery rather than mitigation

• Often lack of funding, lack of official and/or de facto recognition, lack of staffing and at times capacities – external support remains critical

• In sum: mostly still weak • Need for additional buy in and proactive support by ISDR system

partners including primarily (sub-)Regional Organisations, I/NGOs, private sector, IFIs, traditional ISDR system partners

Points for discussion/ What could be done:

Full potential not yet reachedProgress remains too slowA lot of transaction costMore involement by egional organisationsBetter information sharing and available of proven experience/ good

practiceSupport fr• Recognition of HFA FPs institutions and NPs by international

community („work through NPs“ – require „NPs involvement in development“) + financial and technical support

• Upscaled role of (sub-)Regional organisations that follow the HFA and intensify support to build strong NPs:• Capacity development• Information sharing• Technical support on institutional anchoring, setting up, policy

and legislative framework, action planning (consultancies)

• Support to harmonise Focal point system of various organisations and harmonisation of DRR programmes

• Proactive use of communication tools and more systematic exchange of information through existing communication tools and communities of practice

•Un foro o comité nacional de múltiples partes interesadas •Promueve la RRD en diferentes niveles •Proporciona coordinación, análisis y asesoramiento en las áreas prioritarias que requieren una acción concertada a través de un proceso coordinado y participativo. •A commitment to work on prevention, preparedness and mitigation instead of merely focusing on disaster management and recovery

Como tal, son mencionadas en la Acción Prioritaria 1 del Marco de Acción de Hyogo - aprobado por 168 Estados Previamente eran mencionadas en la Resolución 1999/63 del Consejo Económico y Social y en la Resolución A/RES/59/231 2005 de la Asamblea General de la ONU

•Deberían ser el mecanismo de coordinación para la incorporación de la RRD en las políticas de desarrollo, la planificación y los programas en consonancia con la aplicación del Marco de Acción de Hyogo

•Deberían contribuir a la creación y al desarrollo de un sistema nacional de RRD que corresponde a cada país y que lo protege.

No son necesariamente nuevas instituciones, sino construidas sobre las ya existentes, para convertirse en un foro para el intercambio y la toma de decisiones, para coordinar la RRD como una herramienta multisectorial compuesta por varios actores multi-sectoral- ,multi-stakeholder-, multi-level tool

Plataformas Nacionales – una definición (continuación)

Should be the coordination mechanism for mainstreaming DRR into development policies, planning and programmes in line with the implementation of the Hyogo Framework for Action

Should aim to contribute to the establishment and the development of a comprehensive national DRR system, as appropriate to each country and be its custodian.

They are not necessarily new institutions, but ideally build on existing national coordinating mechanisms to become a forum for exchange and decision-making for coordinated DRR as a:

multi-sectoral- ,multi-stakeholder-, multi-level tool

Plataformas Nacionales – una definición (continuación)

Una Plataforma Nacional NO es la institución que actúa como el punto focal del MAH, la Institución Nacional de Gestión de Desastres, un comité nacional directivo integrado por los ministerios del Gobierno, la Dirección Nacional de Protección Civil, …composed of Government Ministries only

…but may well be an existing national partnership forum or national coordinating mechanism, provided it is truly multi-stakeholder, multi-sectoral and respects a country’s diversity. It may keep its name and just becomes officially declared as National Platform for DRRHyogo Framework for Action: “The expression “national platform” is a generic term used for national mechanisms for coordination and policy guidance on disaster risk reduction that need to be multi-sectoral and inter-disciplinary in nature, with public, private and civil society participation involving all concerned entities within a country. National platforms represent the national mechanism for the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction.” (§16, 10)

National Platforms are NOT the HFA Focal Point institution/ the National Disaster Management Institution, the Civil Protection Service, a National Steering Committee composed of Government Ministries only

…but may well be an existing national partnership forum or national coordinating mechanism, provided it is truly multi-stakeholder, multi-sectoral and respects a country’s diversity. It may keep its name and just becomes officially declared as National Platform for DRR

Hyogo Framework for Action: “The expression “national platform” is a generic term used for national mechanisms for coordination and policy guidance on disaster risk reduction that need to be multi-sectoral and inter-disciplinary in nature, with public, private and civil society participation involving all concerned entities within a country. National platforms represent the national mechanism for the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction.” (§16, 10)

UN resolutions on National Platforms

In 1999, the UN Economic and Social Council, Resolution 1999/63, “called on all Governments to maintain and strengthen established national and multi-sectoral platforms for natural disaster reduction in order to achieve sustainable development goals and objectives, with the full utilization of scientific and technical means.”

In 2005, the UN General Assembly, resolution A/RES/59/231:

“called upon Governments to establish national platforms or focal points for disaster reduction, encourages government to strengthen platforms where they have already exist, urges United Nations system to provide appropriate support to those mechanisms…”

The “Hyogo Framework for Action” and National Platforms

Strategic Goal 2: “Development and strengthening of institutions, mechanisms and capacities to build resilience to hazards”.

Priority of Action 1: “Ensure that disaster risk reduction (DRR) is a national and a local priority with a strong institutional basis for implementation.”

Key activity under PA1 (§16 (i) (a)): “Support the creation and strengthening of national integrated mechanisms, such as multisectoral national platforms, with designated responsibilities at the national through to the local levels to facilitate coordination across sectors. National platforms should also facilitate coordination across sectors, including by maintaining a broad based dialogue at national and regional levels for promoting awareness among the relevant sectors.”
