India Comprehensive National Earthquake Risk Mitigation Project

Failure

The envisioned MPA Program seeks to enhance institutional capacities and mechanisms for earthquake risk management at national andstate-levels, including management of disease outbreaks, and strengthen critical public infrastructure for earthquake resistance inhigh to very high-risk seismic zones in India. Given the (i) multiplicity of stakeholders and varying capacities across 14 highseismic risk States; (ii) the need for promoting long-term seismic risk management planning at the national scale; and (iii) theongoing exponential increase in risk due to unplanned urbanization, the project proposes a multi-phased programmatic approach. Asuite of instruments and program components are proposed under three engagement areas: Institutional and Policy Reforms,Investments for Demonstration Effect, and Knowledge and Capacities Pool. Further, it is envisioned that these are underpinned by astrong learning agenda, a platform approach, and crowding-in financial resources.
