Policy Brief: planning for risk informed development - Guidelines to the Grassroots on integrated risk management in local development plans
PLANNING FOR RISK INFORMED DEVELOPMENT
Guidelines to the Grassroots
The Government guidelines on the preparation of Gram Panchayat Development Plans (GPDPs) clearly outlines the significance of incorporating disaster and climate change related risks as part of the planning process. However, at the operational level, the capacity of the people drafting these plans are not yet strengthened enough to be including these components in the plans. Hence, it is important to bring the guidelines into practice for the preparation of GPDPs and build the capacity of the local governing bodies for better preparedness to and mitigation of disaster risks and building community resilience against disasters.
