Aid investments in disaster risk reduction: rhetoric to action
This report uses the latest available data, to analyse aid investments in disaster risk reduction (DRR) in the period immediately following the United Nations’ (UN) 2005 Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA), and looks in detail at the policies and investment profiles of 24 of the leading aid donors.
The report particularly focuses on the share of donors' aid budgets that have been spent on DRR in relation to recommendations put forward in 2009 at the second session of UNISDR’s Global Platform for Disaster Reduction that 10% of humanitarian funding, and at least 1% of all development funding, should be allocated towards DRR work.
The research suggests that despite positive inroads made in promoting DRR on the global agenda, the majority of donors are still failing to allocate significant proportions of their aid budgets to DRR.
