This report presents the preliminary results of the technical assistance to connect and develop coordination between three sectors in the Central American and Dominican Republic region — Disaster Risk Management, Culture and Cultural Heritage, and Sustainable Tourism — by promoting robust regional and multisectoral cooperation. Presenting an overall view of the current legal and institutional situation in terms of the region’s capabilities and opportunities, the report is structured around three main elements:
- Key actors
- Capabilities
- Challenges and Opportunities
To advance the integration of DRM with cultural heritage and sustainable tourism, several strategic approaches have been identified:
- Maintain and strengthen intersectoral cooperation and collaboration
- Continue to develop activities at regional level
- Contribute to the strengthening of legal and institutional frameworks
- Increase resilience by strengthening knowledge of the territory and cultural heritage, as well as the risks to which they are exposed
- Consider that crises can also be opportunities to re-think the future
