Das Projekt in Kürze
Hintergrund Jordan is exposed to different types of hazards that endanger its development. The disaster risk management system is centralized, fragmented and non-harmonized. It lacks agreed legal references and methodologies. The distinct responsibilities of the main stakeholders are not clearly defined. The same is true for the delegation of authority in times of crises. This leads to a dispersal of efforts and the loss of coordination, especially when the responsibility for dealing with a specific risk falls within the scope of more than one organisation or sector. The newly updated National Natural Disaster Risk Reduction Strategy highlights these challenges and calls for an adaptation of the system and capacity building of those in charge. It furthermore calls on the stakeholders to identify their own role in disaster risk management as part of their planning processes.
Ziele The overall objective is to contribute to improving Jordan's resilience to natural hazard related disasters by building the capacity of stakeholders and institutions involved, improving management procedures and coordination mechanisms, and systematically integrating DRR into national development strategies.
Zielgruppen

Direct beneficiaries: Disaster risk management system including National Centre for Security and crisis management (NCSCM), Ministry of Local Administration (MoLA), Ministry of Interior (MoI).

Indirect beneficiaries: the general population in Jordan including the most vulnerable people who will benefit from more risk-based decisions and a functioning disaster risk management system and consequently safer and more resilient living conditions.
