The Title of the KLAP,
“Advancing Implementation of the Hyogo Framework
for Action (HFA) in Asia and the Pacific:
Implementing the Kuala Lumpur Declaration on
Disaster Risk Reduction in Asia”
is based on
The KL Declaration being a tool for accelerating the
implementation of HFA,
Not setting fresh targets for countries but assisting in reaching
existing targets
Aligned with priorities of Global Platform and its outcomes
Can contribute to the HFA mid-term review

2.1
Purpose and Objectives of KL Regional
Action Plan
•
The purpose of the Kuala Lumpur Regional Action Plan is to “Advance
implementation of HFA in the Asia Pacific countries by the National
Governments with support from their development cooperation
partners”.
Objectives

2.4 Value addition of KL Action Plan
1. New Strategies
•
Focusing attention on implementation of DRR at sub-national and local
levels
•
Introducing new strategies for resource mobilization and partnership with
the private sector
•
Promoting effective dialogue and linkage with the Climate Change
Adaptation community
2. Prioritizing specific actions in HFA and DRR implementation in countries:
•
Increasing support to National Action Plans on DRR
•
Promoting resilient critical infrastructure in health and education sectors
•
Establishing effective partnerships with media and scientific community
•
Enhancing national public awareness programs with focus on school
children
•
Promoting ‘inclusive’ DRR- with special attention on vulnerable groups
10

3. Making new contributions by:
•Being the first concerted effort to rigorously follow up the Ministerial
Declarations on DRR in Asia.
• Attempting to organize a cohesive and coherent multi-agency
support system to national governments action on DRR
• Building a synergized program of partnerships between regional
entities (especially IAP Members) in their regional programs as
called for by countries in the previous AMCs and other regional
forums.
• Initiating an effort at joint work programming at the regional level
on DRR.

2.4 Value addition of KL Action Plan Cont……
4. Though ambitious in intent and scope, it is more likely to succeed than
similar efforts earlier because :
•
It has a bounded scope covering only specific elements of the HFA.
•
By learning lessons from earlier exercises at regional and global level,
it will consciously seek to avoid pitfalls experienced therein.
•
It is using IAP Members at the core of the implementation
arrangement; thus challenging the IAP to serve as an effective
support mechanism of the regional platform.
•
The regional implementation arrangements benefits from
engagement and leadership of countries in their role as lead
mentors.
•
It creates a core secretariat for overall coordination; with dispersed
responsibilities for implementation among IAP partners.
•
It recognizes, builds on and promotes synergies with ongoing
activities at regional and national level
•
It chooses a realistic time frame of 6 years (2009-2015) with priority
regional and national action undertaken or initiated in phase 1 till
October 2010.
•
It creates a pioneering light implementation arrangement for
regional actions. Other subsequent (and preceding) AMCs or senior
official meetings can benefit from, using this structure if it succeeds.
12

3. National Actions by Countries and sources of support
•
32 possible actions that countries can undertake to implement the
areas of HFA prioritized by the Kuala Lumpur Declaration primarily with
national resources and in partnership with national and sub-national
