Questions for Monitoring the Engagement and Implementation of the National Disaster Risk Reduction Policy & the Sendai Framework for DRR  by Civil Society Organisations (CSOs).

Main Objectives: To coordinate NDRRP implementation among relevant stakeholders including CSOs and to emphasize the importance of CSOs by linking national policy with experience of local communities, and to build on lessons learned from these experiences. To ensure synergies between actions and development activities carried out under the Sendai Framework, SDGs and the Paris Agreement. To ensure that all national and sectoral development policies, plans, programs and projects do not inadvertently increase vulnerability to disaster in all aspects: social, physical, economic and environment.

QUESTION 3 (Select all that apply)

Since 2015, are the root causes and underlying drivers of disaster risk better understood and more systemically addressed across all sectors, scales and disciplines?

 [Note: Underlying drivers of disaster risk include poverty and inequality, climate change, unplanned and rapid urbanization and the lack of disaster risk considerations in land management and environmental and natural resource management, as well as compounding factors such as demographic change, non-disaster risk-informed policies, the lack of regulations and incentives for private disaster risk reduction investment, complex supply chains, the limited availability of technology, unsustainable uses of natural resources, declining ecosystems, pandemics and epidemics.
