Regional: Enhanced Use of Disaster Risk Information for Decision Making in Southeast Asia
The TA will strengthen the capacity of selected Southeast Asian developing member countries (DMCs)-Cambodia, the Lao PDR, Myanmar, the Philippines, and Thailand in using disaster risk information for decision making through (i) strengthened systems for collection and analysis of historical disaster data (ii) improved understanding, communication, and awareness of disaster risk among sector and planning ministries; and (iii) improved understanding of tracking disaster risk management (DRM)-related investments. The expanded scope of the TA will enable increased capacity building and knowledge sharing in Myanmar and the Philippines on disaster risk-informed decision making and disaster risk financing, and support to the ASEAN Secretariat in the implementation of the AADMER Work Programme on Priority Programme 2: Build Safely.

Status of Implementation Progress (Outputs, Activities, and Issues) | Output 1: Disaster dataset for selected line agency or city entered in the national disaster loss database of Cambodia, the Lao PDR, and Myanmar
Implementation of the output was completed in March 2018. (i) National consultations have been conducted in Cambodia, the Lao PDR, and Myanmar in improving coordination for disaster data collection and strengthening linkages with wider data management system of relevant line agencies; (ii) Road sector-related disaster data have been entered in the Cambodia Disaster Damage and Loss Information System (CAMDi) (http://camdi.ncdm.gov.kh), Myanmar Disaster Loss and Damage Database (MDLD) (http://www.mdld-rrd.gov.mm/DesInventar/main.jsp?countrycode=mmr) and Lao Disaster Information (LaoDi). LaoDi is expected to be made available online at http://laodi.monre.gov.la by Q4 2017; (iii) Trainings have been conducted in Cambodia and Myanmar in collecting and analyzing data on CAMDi and MDLD. The training in the Lao PDR is planned for Q1 2018.
Output 2: Integration of disaster risk information in public investment planning process in selected Southeast Asian DMCs
Sub-output 2.1: Risk-informed public investment planning National consultations have been undertaken with relevant government agencies to review public investment planning processes, and stocktake existing climate and disaster risk information in Cambodia, the Lao PDR, and Myanmar. Country reports have been drafted, and validation of the findings has been carried out with government agencies and other stakeholders. The country reports have been completed. A regional workshop was held in February 2018.
Sub-output 2.2: Development of flood risk maps and training modules on the use of flood risk information for urban development processes in Myanmar. The flood risk maps for Mawlamyine have been completed. A national training workshop was held in April 2018.
Sub-output 2.3: Integrating social dimensions of flood risk management in the DPWH human resources development program in the Philippines. Implementation is in progress.
Sub-output 2.4: Support to the ASEAN Secretariat on the development and delivery of training modules on urban disaster resilience and the formation of a pool of urban planners.
National consultations on urban disaster and climate-risk management (DCRM) have been conducted in Yangon, Naypyitaw (Myanmar), Bangkok (Thailand), and Manila (Philippines) for ground-truthing and identification of scope for integrating urban DCRM into development processes. The development of an ASEAN regional training module on risk-sensitive urban planning is underway. A regional consultation workshop to develop the training course was conducted in January 2018. The delivery of the training was held in May 2018.
Output 3: Strengthening the institutional arrangements for managing DRM-related public expenditures for the Lao PDR and Thailand. The reports on DRM-related public expenditure and institutional reviews for the Lao PDR and Thailand and an overview report have been completed and are being prepared for publication.
Output 4: Regional knowledge sharing and development of DRM briefs, knowledge notes and case studies on enhanced use of disaster risk information for decision making in Southeast Asia.
DRM briefs have been drafted for Myanmar and the Lao PDR which provide a broad analysis of the DMCs disaster risk landscape, including natural hazard profile, and institutional and policy context as well as ADB and development partners support on DRM. The DRM brief for Cambodia is under progress. A regional conference on risk-informed development was held on 27-29 August 2018 in Bangkok, Thailand.
Output 5: Development of a city disaster insurance pool in the Philippines.
Consultants have been recruited, and project activities have commenced. Ten cities have been identified as the focal cities for the pool design based on a preliminary analysis of disaster risk and other relevant criteria and have agreed to participate in the project. Exposure mapping work is underway in the cities, together with capacity building. A national workshop was conducted in January 2018. Another workshop was held on 27 August 2018 in Bangkok, Thailand with representatives of finance ministries in selected DMCs. |
