Conclusions
DRR issues had not been integrated in the development planning process except in SNDP
Level of awareness of the importance of disaster preparedness remains low in the country.
Civil Society Organizations are on the frontline in DRR
DMMU has decentralized its operations to provincial level to improve coordination..

RecommendationsIntegration of DRM into sustainable development policies.
Emphasis must be on disaster prevention, mitigation and preparedness and vulnerability reduction.
This requires political will and commitment.
Strengthen technical and institutional and capacity at all levels
Capacity building training be extended to all structures in DRR – (SDMC, DDMC, PDMC)
Integrate DRM into the education system curriculum, primary and secondary and tertiary
