What are the guidelines for an adequate disaster risk management program to be eligible for a CAT DDO?
A country is expected to have an adequate disaster risk management program to be eligible for a Cat DDO. A good basis for a disaster risk management program would be the Hyogo Framework of Action (HFA 2005-2015) which was adopted by 168 governments in January 2005 at the World Conference on Disaster Reduction, held in Kobe, Hyogo, Japan. The HFA is a global blueprint for disaster risk reduction efforts designed to reduce disaster losses by 2015 in lives and in the social, economic, and environmental assets of communities and countries. The HFA offers guiding principles, priorities for action, and practical means for achieving disaster resilience for vulnerable communities. In particular, having an adequate DRM program implies the following: • Disaster risk reduction is treated as a major development agenda and is well integrated in national strategies such as the PRSP, CAS, and socio-economic plans. Also, disaster risk is integrated in the poverty, environment, and economic diagnostics
