In particular, the Bank has provided support to: (i) the National Risk Prevention and Emergency Management Commission (CNE) in the development of the National DRM Plan, and (ii) the Ministry of Finance (MoF) in the development of a Disaster Risk Financing and Insurance (DRFI) strategy. The GoCR has also made progress in meeting the policy matrix objectives and has achieved two key milestones. (i) On October 2015 during a public National DRM Forum, the National DRM Policy was jointly approved by the President of CNE, the Ministers of the Ministry of Environment and Energy, and the Ministry of Housing; this Policy was later adopted by Presidential Decree on November 30, The National DRM Forum, in which the Bank actively participated, not only allowed for the public debate and approval of the Policy but also enabled the GoCR to discuss the National DRM Plan based on the Policy, which is expected to be approved by CNE in mid-march A monitoring and evaluation tool for the Plan s implementation is also under preparation and it is expected that this tool will be operational in May (ii) Significant progress has been made to strengthen the capacity of the Government to incorporate DRM considerations in the design of public investment projects. Public officials are now using improved methodologies developed by the Ministry of Planning and Economic Policy (MIDEPLAN) to better integrate disasters risk considerations in the public investment decision processes and at least 52 public officials from 41 public entities were trained 3/14/2016 Page 1 of 7

2 in the application of these methodologies by the end of The Bank has also supported the MoF in the development of a Disaster Risk Financing and Insurance (DRFI) strategy including the potential enrollment in CCRIF, and has provided technical assistance to carry out statistical and actuarial analyses of historical losses attributed to disasters, which will help the GoCR understand the State s financial vulnerability to disasters. The draft of the DRFI strategy is aligned with the current National Development Plan, the National Public Investment Plan, the National DRM Plan and the National Climate Adaptation Plan. The draft DRFI strategy is expected to be formally discussed with MIDEPLAN and CNE in a Bank facilitated workshop planned for April/May The Bank is also supporting the GoCR in its incursion to the use of geospatial data to inform DRM decisions and a workshop on GeoNode facilitated by the Bank is planned for April The next supervision is scheduled to take place in April 2016 to assess the GoCR s progress on its DRM Program and on the implementation of ongoing activities to achieve project target indicators.
