United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR) Individual Contractor Job Vacancy

United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR) Individual Contractor Job Vacancy

The Hyogo Framework for Action was adopted in January 2005. One hundred and sixty-eight (168) nations committed themselves to substantially reduce the loss of life and livelihoods from disasters by implementing the Hyogo Framework of Action 2005-2015: Building the Resilience of Nations and Communities (HFA). Member States of the Hyogo Declaration called upon the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction Secretariat (UNISDR secretariat) to facilitate the implementation of the five HFA priorities for action in collaboration with relevant national Governments, regional, international and United Nations entities.

Closing date: 02 Sep 2010

In accordance with the HFA, states have the main responsibility for reviewing the progress in implementation of the framework; at the same time regional inter-governmental and international organizations are mandated to review the progress and status of the implementation of the framework at regional and global level.

The UNISDR Secretariat therefore has established a multi-tiered HFA progress review and monitoring framework at the regional, national and local level to assist the countries in reviewing their status and progress in implementing the HFA. A review framework and an online tool are available at each level to support the monitoring and review process.

At the country level the review process will be carried out at the national level capturing the national level input to disaster risk reduction; and at the local level capturing the impact and status of disaster risk reduction at the local level. The overall process is greatly dependent on the engagement of stakeholders at both national and local level; ranging from nodal ministries, departments, UN country team and national organisations to local governments, city authorities and local civil society organisations. The key factor that will determine the success of the local and national progress review process is the effective collaboration among these diverse stakeholders.
