Closing Date: April 30,2014.
Natural hazards
continue to cause significant loss of life in Asia and the Pacific. Direct
physical losses from the disasters are not only following a steady upward path,
but are also rising more rapidly than the regional gross domestic product.
However, rising disaster losses are not inevitable and can be reduced by investing
in disaster resilience.
Asian
Development Bank’s IDRM approach brings together:
Disaster risk
reduction: Investments to enhance hazard management, including risk assessment
and measures to reduce exposure and vulnerability
Climate change
adaptation: Planning for changes in the intensity and frequency of natural hazards
and taking actions to reduce risk both today and many years into the future
Disaster risk
financing: Development and application of financing strategies to manage and transfer
residual risk, including through the use of insurance and capital market
instruments
ADB’s Integrated
Disaster Risk Management Fund (IDRM Fund) for Southeast Asia supported by the Government
of Canada invites proposals to implement small grant projects for
community-based disaster risk management (DRM) in Southeast Asian developing
member countries (DMCs) of ADB – Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao People’s Democratic
Republic, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand, and Viet Nam. This call for
proposals will finance small grant projects under a regional technical assistance
project supported by the IDRM Fund and will be implemented in close coordination
with other activities of the technical assistance.
