How the objective will be addressed
Programme area specifics
As disaster impacts often reflect and reinforce gender inequality, the programme area should include support to gender- and youth-inclusive approaches for better disaster risk management. It should also support efficient coordination between authorities at every level and the sharing of good practices, including the use of international networks.
Investments in disaster risk reduction and mitigation are more cost-effective than post-disaster rebuilding and recovery efforts. Implementation of international standards and guidelines on disaster risk governance that facilitate efficient risk reduction measures should be supported. Taking a whole-of-society perspective, the programme area focuses on enhancing risk governance, and contingency planning. This will be achieved by improving the understanding of disaster risks and hazards, including lack of information integrity; investing in disaster risk reduction; capacity building and training for strengthened civil protection; sustainable safety; and security measures. This includes investment in innovative tools and technology such as multi-hazard early warning systems, cyber security, and defence against hybrid threats. Other civil protection measures can also be supported.
• All programmes shall include cooperation between Donor and Beneficiary States • Investment in infrastructure and equipment (hard measures) shall only be supported alongside capacity building, training, or experience sharing (soft measures). • The maximum level of funding for investment in infrastructure and equipment
Key actors and beneficiaries
The most relevant actors are all levels of government, including decision makers, emergency response and planning authorities, and law enforcement. Other relevant actors are civil society organisations, international organisations, local communities, educational and research institutions, and the private sector. Communities and groups in vulnerable situations who are most exposed to disasters will also benefit.
(hard measures) shall be set in the memorandum of understanding or, exceptionally, in the programme agreement.
