Mixed Results: Efficiency of Risk Mitigation Measures

Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) = Benefit (Reduction in Losses)/ Cost

- BCR<1: Benefit (Reduction in Losses) < Cost

Key Achievements 3

Recommendations and Next Steps: Effective early earning system at all levels Develop DRR guideline for settlement planning, building

code and land reclamation Conduct further research into viable alternative

protection measures Establish capacity and financing climate monitoring &

research

Ideas for developing the motivation and ownership Certificates of local and international trainings Exposures to the examples in model school in the Philippines

Assistance to the voluntary initiative Preparation of training materials for trained teachers – modules,

videos Coordination with head teachers/ stakeholders so that teacher can

conduct training easily

Employment of national and international consultants Local consultant – Provision of expertise and experience on

curriculum development in Maldives International consultant – Provision of expertise and experience on

Disaster Risk Management

Lessons Learned -What worked -

Total of 404 teachers and curriculum developers trained on DRR in school by June 2009 (Target: 40 )

Lessons Learned - What did not work -

Dependency on external consultants It requires obtaining services from internationals, which is time

consuming. Disaster risk reduction is a new field in the Maldives. To ensure quality of project activities, views and input from mostly external experts are required other than what is available internally (i.e. the Ministry concerned). Once we had the consultants and specialists on-board, the process then rolled as planned.

Shortage of governmental staff with expertise Focal points in the implementing partners are simultaneously

burdened with many other tasks. Deployment of project assistant for UNDP projects in implementing partners speeded up the implementation

Project implementation was behind schedule and coordination was not organized in the initial stage
