ISDR System Joint Work Programming

With a view to promote system wide coherence and coordinated action, as set out in the Hyogo Framework, a common approach to work programming in the ISDR system was developed during the 2006-2007 in the context of the former Inter-Agency Task Force on Disaster Reduction and presented to the first session of the Global Platform. Those consultations gave rise to an ISDR system joint planning framework for country, regional and global levels based on the priorities for action of the Hyogo Framework. The joint work programme contributes to the over-arching objective of the ISDR system to "widen the participation of Governments and organizations in disaster risk reduction and build a stronger, more systematic and coherent international effort to support national disaster reduction activities."

For 2008-2009, an ISDR system joint work programme at the global level has been developed through the collaboration and engagement of the twelve members of the ISDR Inter-Agency group (currently comprised of FAO, IFRC, ILO, OCHA, UNDP, UNEP, UNESCO, UNICEF, WFP, WHO, WMO, the World Bank and facilitated by ISDR secretariat). In addition, other ISDR system partners, thematic platforms, and the Global NGO Network have contributed to the development of joint results articulated in the ISDR joint work programme and continue to support the undertaking of joint actions to facilitate the implementation of Hyogo Framework.
