315 | local development plans (LDPs). Five years after the Sendai Framework | ||||
316 | for Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), we do not know how much risk | ||||
317 | reduction is practiced in rural Africa. The aim of this assessment is | ||||
318 | to ascertain the state of mainstreaming DRR in development planning in | ||||
319 | the rural jurisdictions of tropical Africa. One hundred and | ||||
320 | ninety-four plans of 21 countries are considered. Ten characteristics | ||||
321 | of the plans are examined: Climate trends, hydro-climatic hazards, | ||||
322 | vulnerability and risk assessments, alignment with Sendai Framework, | ||||
323 | vision, strategies and objectives, DRR actions, internal consistency, | ||||
324 | DRR relevance and funding sources, local and technical knowledge | ||||
325 | integration, public participation. It is found that local climatic | ||||
326 | characterization is almost always absent and risk reduction is an | ||||
327 | objective of the plans in one case out of three. Prevention actions | ||||
328 | prevail over those of preparedness. There is poor participation in the | ||||

970 | S.\r\n\r\nAbstract\r\n\r\nDisaster risk reduction in rural Africa can | ||||
971 | contribute to reducing poverty and food insecurity if included in | ||||
972 | local development plans (LDPs). Five years after the Sendai Framework | ||||
973 | for Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), we do not know how much risk | ||||
974 | reduction is practiced in rural Africa. The aim of this assessment is | ||||
975 | to ascertain the state of mainstreaming DRR in development planning in | ||||
976 | the rural jurisdictions of tropical Africa. One hundred and | ||||
977 | ninety-four plans of 21 countries are considered. Ten characteristics | ||||
978 | of the plans are examined: Climate trends, hydro-climatic hazards, | ||||
979 | vulnerability and risk assessments, alignment with Sendai Framework, | ||||
980 | vision, strategies and objectives, DRR actions, internal consistency, | ||||
981 | DRR relevance and funding sources, local and technical knowledge | ||||
982 | integration, public participation. It is found that local climatic | ||||
983 | characterization is almost always absent and risk reduction is an | ||||
984 | objective of the plans in one case out of three. Prevention actions | ||||
985 | prevail over those of preparedness. There is poor participation in the | ||||
986 | plan preparation process and this limits the implementation of the | ||||
987 | actions. A modification of the national guidelines on the preparation | ||||
988 | of LDPs, the orientation of official development assistance towards | ||||
989 | supporting climate services and the training of local planners, | ||||
990 | together with the increase of financial resources in local | ||||
991 | jurisdictions are essential for improving DRR at local scale.\r\n", | ||||
