National Platforms
The focus
National Platforms for DRR need to focus on the following components:
• The political component ensures strong political commitment from the top leadership.
• The technical component involves various activities such as developing knowledge bases on DRR, a methodological framework for the National Platform for DRR, and a set of disaster reduction indicators.
• The participatory component involves relevant groups, including various overnment bodies, the private sector, NGOs and academic institutions.
• The resource mobilization component obtains resources required for developing National Platforms for DRR and carrying out their planned tasks.
National Platforms
A National Platform for DRR can be defined as a nationally owned and led forum or committee of multi-stakeholders.
National Platform serves as an advocate of DRR at different levels and provides :
• coordination,
• analysis,
• advice
on areas of priority requiring concerted action through a coordinated and participatory process.
A National Platform for DRR should be the coordination mechanism for mainstreaming DRR into development:
• policies,
• planning,
• programmes
in line with the implementation of the HFA.
National Platform should aim to contribute to the establishment and the development of a comprehensive national DRR system, as appropriate to each country.

Points from the Official Statement
of the Government of the Republic of Macedonia on
the Third Session of the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction
“Disaster Risk Reduction is actually a lifestyle, or vice versa, a lifestyle resulting with risk reduction.
…the Republic of Macedonia is strongly committed to promoting the merging of risk reduction and adaptation efforts on a national, regional and global level, that implies the following:
1. development of integrated risk assessment methodologies and procedures;
1. establishing mutually interdependent disaster prevention standards, inspection procedures and insurance mechanism
2. introducing national disaster resilience index for international financial support eligibility criteria.”
Dr. Pande Lazarevski
National Coordinator for NPDRR Implementation
Understanding Disaster Risk Reduction as a
lifestyle…
“By supporting development based on moral judgment,
knowledge, resilience, prevention and adaptation, we are jointly
building a future that will not need an Ark to endure the days of
the flood. Still, we need to plan ahead. After all, it was not raining
when Noah built his Ark.”
Dr. Gjorge Ivanov,
President of the Republic of Macedonia
