Positive developments in the process of DRM mainstreaming have involved:
- The designation or creation of a high-level agency/department/ministry to lead DRM mainstreaming
- Working groups or committees to coordinate all the stakeholders
- Cross-sectoral DRM strategies
- The incorporation of core DRM concerns in development and/or infrastructure projects
- The de-compartmentalisation, or at least coordination, of DRM, Climate Change Adaptation and development policies to improve risk-informed planning and secure financing for mainstreaming
- Dedicated funding for DRM
- Consideration of local communities’ needs and of their own evaluations
- Coherence and partnership between higher and lower levels of government.
