It works because…

There is shared agreement and understanding of

the risks among all stakeholders

There is ownership over the problem solving

process and the Plan’s strategies and actions that

come out of it

There is consensus around the priorities and

trade-offs

There is confidence and motivation for action

Plan made significant progress and investments

in disaster risk reduction and influenced the

DRM practice in its country and region

Impressive track record
