Sub-Programme-1: Capacity Building

Component 1 (a): Programme, Policy and Partnership Development Unit (PPPDU)

The Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme Framework Document recognizes this sub programme as a priority for the successful implementation of the CDMP process. The Policy, Programme and Partnership Development Unit (PPPDU) will undertake and promote coordination responsibilities among implementing agencies, further consolidate the partnership among stakeholders and facilitate internalization of risk management issues into the core business of the Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief. The unit would support the Ministry in mainstreaming disaster risk management into the GoB development planning process.

The objective of the PPPDU is to drive the programme to lay the foundation for a paradigm shift from relief emphasis to comprehensive risk reduction culture involving all stakeholders.

The sub programme will provide the MoFDM with the necessary institutional support required for it to undertake both CDMP and MoFDM coordination functions. The immediate priority should be focused on establishing and resourcing the key programme management and coordination systems namely, the Policy, Programme and Partnership Development Unit (PPPDU) and the CDMP Steering Committee (SC).
