Regional coordination of disaster management
|
SOPAC's DMU was established in 1999, and it was implementing the multi-donor-funded SPDRP2. SOPAC’s DMU is now established and it is implementing the multi-donor-funded SPDRP2. Those donors who had agreed to fund SPDRP also agreed that their funds will be channelled through UNDP on cost-sharing agreement during the transition phase. The transition was in progress and it will be completed during
the year 2000.
The DMU is also the South Pacific Office for the UNDP Disaster
Management Programme (DMP-SPO). It was responsible
for office administration cost and salary of some of the
staff. It also houses the UNOCHA Disaster Response Adviser.
To further promote and strengthen the co-ordination
work of the DMU, an unsecured fund of US$20,000 was proposed
for SOPAC management and DMU to use for advocacy
and awareness missions and activities
