ASEAN-UN joint strategic plan of action on disaster management 2016-2020

This document is the third iteration of the Joint Strategic Plan of Action on Disaster Management (JSPADM III), which outlines ASEAN and the UN’s mutual intentions and commitments to continue to work together. The JSPADM III includes:

• - A strategic chapeau document establishing the joint priorities, strategic approach, and modalities for implementing, monitoring and evaluating the JSPADM III.
• - A multi-year planning framework aligned to the Priority Programmes set out in the AADMER Work Programme 2016-2020, with agreed joint outcomes, indicative annual progress targets per work area, and indicative resource requirements.

In the medium- to long-term, the partnership seeks to ensure appropriate capacity and cooperation between ASEAN and the UN in all phases of the disaster risk management cycle. The partnership also aims to engage with and understand the policies and priorities of national leadership, and to reduce the requirement for international support and assistance in the event of large-scale disasters in ASEAN Member States.
