Disaster Risk Management Project

closed

The objectives of the Disaster Risk Management Project (DRM) for Honduras are to support: (a) continue strengthening its capacity for integrated disaster risk management at the municipal and national level; and (b) improve its capacity to respond promptly and effectively to an eligible emergency. There are four components to the project, the first component being strengthening of national-level DRM capacities. The second component is the strengthening of municipal and community-level DRM Capacities. This component includes four subcomponents: enhancing municipal and local DRM capacity, developing territorial planning and characterization for local risk management, institutionalizing local risk management, and updating and implementing local and regional early warning systems. The third component is the implementation of mitigation measures. The fourth component is the project management, monitoring and evaluation. Finally, the fifth component is the Contingency Emergency Response Component (CERC). This component will finance public and private sector expenditures on a positive list of goods, both domestic and imported, and/or specific works, goods, services (including audit costs) and emergency operation costs required for Honduras' emergency recovery.
