Joint CSO statement on DRR for FFD
06 July 2015VOICE position papersVOICE together with Civil society networks jointly made recommendations ahead of the Finance For Development Agreement; since it presents an opportunity for disaster risk reduction (DRR) funding to be institutionalised. We call on developed countries to commit to:
1) Incorporate resilience building as a condition for providing OverseasDevelopment Assistance (ODA) to ensure that all new investments are risk informed, reduce risk, and are acceptable for those people who bear any new risk. e.g. through the introduction of resilience markers in funding applications.
2) Allocate 5% of ODA as funding for DRR specific activities
3) Provide a percentage (50%) of national DRR budgets directly to local governments for community-led DRR projects.
