12. Challenges • The development projects proposed by various sectoral ministries do not adequately consider the disaster risk reduction aspects in their project proposals. • Reconstruction and Rehabilitation activities implemented by various other ministries and horizontal integration between sectoral ministries are weak • Difficulties in evaluating the total funds disbursed to achieved the results through other line ministries • DRM is not decentralized subject, thus difficulties in engaging all stakeholders for disaster risk management activities at sub national level
