Description
The NDRM is one of three components of the ACP-EU Natural Disaster Risk Management programme for the Caribbean region, financed through the 10th EDF Regional Indicative Programme for a five-year period (2014 – 2019) for 20,000,000 €.
Programme implementation is done through a grant contract with CDEMA, a contribution agreement with CDB and a national project approach using Programme Estimates in the Dominican Republic.
The overall objective of the programme is to reduce vulnerability to long term impacts of natural hazards, including the potential impacts of climate change, thereby achieving regional and national sustainable development and poverty reduction goals in the CARIFORUM States.
NDRM addresses challenges through:
- Capacity of National Disaster Offices and CDEMA’s Coordinating Unit strengthened for implementation of Comprehensive Disaster Management (CDM),
- National, local and regional resilience through strengthened early warning, national risk profiling and communitybased DRR and CCA,
- Sector resilience strengthened in key public policy sectors, through DRR and CCA mainstreaming. A specific national component exists for the Dominican Republic, being a member of CARIFORUM, but not a member state of CDB and CDEMA. This component is considered as a specific national result (4) Strengthened organisational and functional structures and capabilities of the National System for Integrated Disaster Risk Management (SN-GIRD).
