Project Description:
SDC is implementing a number of DRR programmes in several regions of the world. The 2007 SDC Guidelines on DRR (www) requested an assessment of the effectiveness of these programmes and as well as an assessment of the mainstreaming efforts in different pilot countries. The analysis comprised 5 programmes (Bolivia/Peru, Nicaragua, Tajikistan, Georgia/Armenia, and Bangladesh) and two countries without explicit DRR programmes but where DRR is mainstreamed (Mongolia, Mali). The country assessments were conducted by 7 individual consultants (contracted by SDC), based on the given framework.
