10 Rationale for IDRM Planning National Strategy for Natural Disaster Prevention, Response and Mitigation to 2020 Provincial action plan NDRM Project development objective Integrates and balances Stakeholder and Community needs All economic sectors Harmonized with socio-economic development plan 9/8/2010 Natural Disaster Risk Management Project_Vietnam 10

17 Thua Thien Hue IDRM Planning Provincial planning team (PPT) was established with 7 members (DARD, DoIrrigation and FSC, DPI, DoC, DoT, DoNRE and Hyro-meteorological service) DARD deputy director as PPT leader Fulltime local planning consultant employed Implemented from August 2009 to March 2010 Followed same procedure as other 11 provinces 9/8/2010 Natural Disaster Risk Management Project_Vietnam 17

18 Thua Thien Hue IDRMP Framework report Overall situation of natural hazards/disasters Natural and socio-economic conditions Natural disaster impacts Capacity to respond to and manage disasters Disaster risk management needs Atlas of maps 8 thematic maps to illustrate and support planning IDRM Investment Plan Structural and non-structural investment projects costing around USD 450 million (89% and 11%) Proposed implementation plan (activities, expected outputs, time, budget, responsible parties, priorities) 9/8/2010 Natural Disaster Risk Management Project_Vietnam 18

19 Lessons Learned Direction and support from PPCs are essential and decisive Close inter-sector cooperation is critical PPT members should be experienced experts with knowledge of risk assessment Solutions should respond directly to the risk analysis and be confirmed in workshops and meetings Specific, defined and practical implementation schedule. 9/8/2010 Natural Disaster Risk Management Project_Vietnam 19

20 Lessons learned (cont.) Use workshops at the critical stages to share information and get broad support Communicate regularly with stakeholders Research background information from a wide range of sources Ensure consistency with provincial Action Plans and socio-economic development plans Review and update frequently to maintain relevance 9/8/2010 Natural Disaster Risk Management Project_Vietnam 20

21 Challenges Limited horizontal coordination between different sectors Limited information and knowledge on risk assessment and climate change Limited quality of relevant data to underpin decision-making DRM continues to be viewed as an add-on to core development activities Some trade-offs between development goals, poverty reduction and DRM are difficult to negotiate 9/8/2010 Natural Disaster Risk Management Project_Vietnam 21

22 Recommendations Expand the IDRM planning into other provinces Strengthen the concept that IDRM plan is the focal point for DRM activities in the province Strengthen horizontal coordination between different sectors Give higher priority to non-structural solutions IDRM Plan should be reviewed and revised annually 9/8/2010 Natural Disaster Risk Management Project_Vietnam 22
