| Description | The knowledge and support technical assistance (TA) aims to support developing member countries (DMCs) prepare and respond to disasters through an enhanced understanding of disaster displacement. To realize this objective, the TA will (i) generate knowledge on disaster displacement, focusing on the characteristics, trends, and cost; and (ii) support selected DMCs to make evidence-based decisions on preparing for, responding to, and managing displacement risks. A greater understanding of the dynamics of disaster displacement can lead to reduced socioeconomic impacts and limit the longer-term consequences disasters can have on development, particularly for the most vulnerable. | ||||||||

| Project Outcome | |
|---|---|
| Description of Outcome | Preparedness for disaster displacement enhanced |
| Progress Toward Outcome | Evidence base on disaster displacement in the region has been strengthened through the knowledge products and dissemination activities. Efforts are now focused on solutions and approaches. |
| Implementation Progress | |
| Description of Project Outputs | Knowledge of disaster displacement in Asia and the Pacific increased Decision-making in developing member countries at high-risk of disaster displacement improved Solutions and approaches to reduce and manage displacement risk identified |
| Status of Implementation Progress (Outputs, Activities, and Issues) | Output 1: Report has been published (www.adb.org/publications/disaster-displacement-asia-pacific) and launched by ADB at the Asia-Pacific Ministerial Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction in Brisbane, Australia on 19 September 2022. Output 2: Draft profiles for 3 DMCs (Indonesia, Nepal, and Papua New Guinea) prepared, pending peer review. Inputs for the Pakistan country profile have been diverted to the report delivered under output 1. Roundtables in three DMCs planned. Output 3: To commence. |
