Background NDMO limited capacity and many responsibilities, requests for support in coordination, leadership, management, capacity development Limited inter-agency coordination national/sub-national in DRM Limited international humanitarian presence in PICs, limited knowledge of local counterparts GBV, Gender inequality and limited gender analysis

  4. Lessons Learned Quality of disaster reduction, preparedness and response improves greatly when it is: led by national organizations based on the capacities, knowledge and perceptions of both women and men; coordinated among national and international actors supported by well-prepared cluster lead agencies.

  5. Lessons Learned Integration of gender considerations across DM & DRR activities results in: More effective interventions by recognizing the different needs and priorities of different groups; More timely and targeted provision of support, through better analysis; More comprehensive and stronger DM, DRR and disaster recovery, by maximizing the contributions of both men and women; Opportunities to promote more equitable gender relationships, improving resilience, reduce women’s poverty and social inequities.

  6. Objective Pacific preparedness, response and disaster reduction systems will be strengthened by providing dedicated human resources for coordination and gender equality to critical DRM bodies. Advisors allocated to NDMOs in selected PICs will provide practical organizational development support and capacity building. Advisors will also be allocated to those PHT cluster lead agencies who are unable to provide the degree of country-level support required in national emergencies. More inclusive and gender-aware disaster preparedness and management practices at both national level and between participating countries .

Tasks: facilitation of stakeholder meetings, liaison between cluster leads, clusters and national (sector) counterparts, mapping of DRM needs and resources, information management, DRM training and contingency planning, and arranging/facilitating national DRM progress reviews and response evaluations.

  8. (2) cluster advisors Collaborate with and support national cluster counterparts Increase the knowledge and ability of cluster member agencies to comply with international guidelines, standards and principles; Support inclusive and gender-aware DRM practices among all cluster actors; Ensure systematic attention to human rights, age, environment, climate change and other social and cross-cutting factors in cluster plans and activities
