Programmatic Framework - Pillar 1

Intermediary Outcome 1.1:  Enhanced capability to produce quality, timely, and contextualized risk and disaster (losses and damages) information, through inclusive and participatory approaches

Outputs / Activities:

  • Diagnosing disaster risk data ecosystem and risk knowledge maturity: diagnostics on the status of risk knowledge in EWS at the national or local level (using tools such as EW4All Gap Analysis, MCR2030); assess maturity of risk data production, management and use (including historic/ losses and damages/disaster data along with risk (hazard, vulnerability, exposure and coping capacity).
  • Strengthening disaster risk analytics and enhancing core risk knowledge capabilities for EWS: 

    • Institutionalizing national hazardous events and disaster losses and damages tracking systems: 
      - Strengthen national capacities to collect, produce, share, manage and analyze granular hazardous events and disaggregated (sex, age, disability, income, sector, geographic & hazard, etc.) disaster losses, damages and impact data, ensuring alignment with the Sendai Framework 

      - Establish national data collection, sharing and quality assurance mechanisms/arrangements, data (e.g. hazard classification and hazard definitions) and metadata standards

      - Roles, responsibilities and workflows on data collection, sharing and analysis are codified into local, sectoral and national policies, plans and SoPs

    • Assessing environmental and ecosystem services losses and vulnerabilities assessments.
    • Institutionalizing methods, protocols and tools for risk assessment and analysis.
    • Provide training and technical assistance to national and local stakeholders on risk assessment methods and tools, including risk and hazard identification, vulnerability and exposure mapping and assessment, matrixes; focused on assessment of coping capacities of key sectors; includes data maturity scoping (sources, types, formats, quality), gathering, cleansing, integration.
    • Support the establishment of standardized national risk assessment protocols and tools tailored to the country and local context.
    • Assist in the development of national risk maps and tools to consolidate and manage risk information effectively across sectors and administrative units.
  • Piloting and scaling-up technology and innovation for RK production:
    • Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools for risk knowledge production
    • Boosting risk knowledge production with space technologies for early warning systems
    • Promote crowdsourcing methods to support losses and damages data collection/production
  • Strategic engagements for gender-responsive, inclusive, and participatory RK production:
    • Promotion of disability and gender inclusion in RK production processes
    • Promotion of citizen science and community-based monitoring
    • Integration of indigenous and local knowledge (ILK) in RK production

Intermediary Outcome 1.2: Enhanced open access to risk information and knowledge by all relevant actors

Outputs / Activities:

  • Developing or improving interoperability among risk knowledge platforms.
  • Support national adoption of standards for risk information sharing/exchange.
  • Raise awareness on open and interoperable data (e.g. FAIR Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable), digital public goods and open-source standards for open- disaster and risk data policies.

Intermediary Outcome 1.3: Strengthened application of risk information along the EWS value chain

Outputs / Activities: 

  • Establishing / strengthening coordination mechanisms for users:
    • Develop sample protocols, SoP, Terms of reference for establishment of situation-monitoring mechanisms.
    • Develop guidance on products and service deliver by situation-monitoring centers.
    • Identification of computing/operational resources, staff and budget capability to establish and operate situation rooms.
    • Establish situation rooms, operations centers, or similar mechanisms to support real-time analysis of hazards and risks, combining impact data with predictive analysis and supporting warning dissemination and response actions.
  • Training and national capacity strengthening on the use and application of disaster (losses and damages) and risk information for EW and Early action.
  • Co-develop with entities responsible for hazard monitoring, risk knowledge production, early action and response, training and technical guidance on development of impact-based warning and early action incorporating vulnerability, exposure and past impact/historic data targeted warning messages and recommended actions.

Intermediary Outcome: 1.4: Enhanced capacities to monitor and report on the coverage and effectiveness of early warning systems and apply learning to improve approaches

Outputs / Activities: 

  • Improving reporting to global monitoring systems:  capacity building and technical support to national takeholders to monitor and report to the Sendai Framework Monitor.
  • Application of losses and damages data for monitoring and reporting on DRR and EWS progress and effectiveness in reducing losses and damages.
  • Establishing or improving national M&E systems to track MHEWS performance: assistance in the selection of indicators applicable to country contexts and facilitation of integration into DRR and climate change adaptation M&E systems; assistance on reporting results to the EW4All M&E system.
