Vanuatu: Provincial disaster and climate response plan guideline
This Provincial Disaster & Climate Response Plan (PDCRP) guideline is required by each provincial council as per request by the Vanuatu Government and is stipulated in the “National Disaster Act”.
The National Management Office (NDMO) of Vanuatu has integrated PDCRP development for the six provinces in its 2016-2017 planning. This guideline has been designed in this context to support the development and the revision of the PDCRP in each province of Vanuatu.
The guideline provides an approach and a range of tools that have been experienced during the PDCRP development process early 2016 in three provinces of Vanuatu. It intends to guide the Provincial Governments and NDMO to develop the PDCRP with the support of the DRM stakeholders.
The approach proposed in this guideline focusses on PDCCC involvement through consultation and training on PDCRP backgrounds and processes and to ensure that local partners have the ownership of their provincial plan and familiar with the content by being the main actors of its development and implementation.
