INCORPORATING THE HYOGO FA IN THE FUNDAMENTAL PROCESSES OF DPRMINCORPORATING THE HYOGO FA IN THE FUNDAMENTAL PROCESSES OF DPRM

Confusions and tensions remain among institutions on how to make DPRM concepts operational. Being a new theme, a pro-active promotion of knowledge, policy and practices is needed.

Need for specialised technical assistance in implementing DPRM Cross-Cutting Approaches in the National, Sectoral and Territorial Plans

Too high human resources rotation and frequent political changes in public agencies makes difficult to maintain the institutions’ knowledge base (institutional memory). Sustainability of processes in this context requires continuous support.

To sustain and deepen current support to National & Regional Platforms: Providing information, supporting networking, facilitating dialogues on experiences; introducing Cross-cutting DPRM approaches in methodologies.

To promote and support implementation of Information Systems and Knowledge Management practices to safeguard institutional memory; to promote synergies and alliances among and between donors and national institutions (lobbies, joint programmes, etc.)

Facilitating access to technical assistance sources from donors and other agencies; continue promoting Cross-Cutting Approach among UN Agencies

Main Constraints in Achieving Progress Expectations from the ISDR Systems

Lack of appropriate instruments for follow-up, progress assessment and impact evaluation of DPRM in development initiatives (benchmarks, methods), make policy adjustments difficult to implement

To maintain and reinforce current support for developing simple and down-to-earth indicators of achievement in institutions’ capacities and reforms, as well as impacts of introducing DPRM and Hyogo FA follow-up

A need for clarifying channels and procedures for requesting and receiving support in the Hyogo FA implementation and follow-up

To elaborate and disseminate appropriate material and to provide advice and undertake capacity building activities; to elaborate a follow-up and progress assessment plan

Mainstreaming DPRM in Development Planning (DP) is a complex and difficult task because of weaknesses in the processes and institutions. Additionally, new practices do not pay short term political dividends to public actors.

To explicitly promote a leading role of development planning in National Platforms; to promote engagement of specialised UN agencies in supporting development planning processes at country level (country wide, sectoral and territorial)
