Disaster Risk Management Project was introduced back in 2004 as a collaborative endeavour designed to address the serious and chronic problems faced by Tajikistan and its regional neighbours with regard to natural disaster management — comprising preparedness, response, and most importantly mitigation and prevention by three UN agencies (UN ISDR, OCHA and led by UNDP). In 2007, following the successful completion of the first phase of the project, it was reorganized into Programme directly executed by UNDP. The second phase of the programme covered the period of 2007-2009 and was aimed to reduction of natural disasters impact on vulnerable communities by strengthening national capacity to prevent, coordinate and respond to natural disasters. The programme continued to strengthen the capacity of the Committee of Emergency Situations at the national level, while building regional mechanisms for DRM and mainstreaming DRM into state policy at the national and sub-national level.
Currently, Disaster Risk Management Programme is entering its third phase, and will cover a 6 year period of 2010-2015.
The overall objective of DRM Programme, during its third phase, is to “decrease the risk of natural and man-made hazards to rural and urban livelihoods, and ensure infrastructure and recovery mechanisms in place”.
In terms of technical areas the programme can be broken down into 4 main outputs: A) Enhanced operational disaster risk management capacity at all levels; B) Strengthened risk assessment, monitoring and warning capacities at all levels; C) Strengthened disaster risk management institutional and legal frameworks; D) Disaster response enabled and efficient.
