The project enhances the institutional capacity of ministries and line agencies to cope with natural hazards, such as earthquakes, landslides, mud flows, avalanches, floods and droughts. The project includes:

(i) a national multi-hazard vulnerability and risk assessment
(ii) preparation of hazard maps;
(iii) preparation of national, regional, and sector related DRM plans;
(iv) strengthening the Committee of Emergency Situation and Civil Defense (CESCD).

The project has three interrelated outputs:
(i) DRM mainstreamed in government institutions;
(ii) strengthened capacity to manage natural hazards and minimize losses; and
(iii) road map for investments and sustainable financing developed.
