Regional : Understanding Disaster Displacement in Asia and the Pacific

Sovereign Project | 53124-001

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 Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy
Impact

Disaster resilience strengthened (Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction)
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.

Project Data Sheets (PDS) contain summary information on the project or program. Because the PDS is a work in progress, some information may not be included in its initial version but will be added as it becomes available. Information about proposed projects is tentative and indicative.

The Access to Information Policy (AIP) recognizes that transparency and accountability are essential to development effectiveness. It establishes the disclosure requirements for documents and information ADB produces or requires to be produced.

The Accountability Mechanism provides a forum where people adversely affected by ADB-assisted projects can voice and seek solutions to their problems and report alleged noncompliance of ADB's operational policies and procedures.

In preparing any country program or strategy, financing any project, or by making any designation of, or reference to, a particular territory or geographic area in this document, the Asian Development Bank does not intend to make any judgments as to the legal or other status of any territory or area.
