Monitoring Sendai Framework
Strong accountability is one of the cornerstones of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. A set of 38 indicators, recommended by an Open-ended Intergovernmental Expert Working Group, are used to track progress in implementing the seven targets of the Sendai Framework as well as its related dimensions reflected in the Sustainable Development Goals 1, 11 and 13.
UN Member States report their progress through the Sendai Framework Monitor (SFM). The online platform is also a tool to guide risk-informed policy decisions and to allocate resources accordingly towards reducing risk.
|
Global target A: Substantially reduce global disaster mortality by 2030, aiming to lower average per 100,000 global mortality between 2020-2030 compared with 2005-2015. |

Both the Sendai Framework and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) outcomes are a product of interconnected social and economic processes. As such, there is a lot of synergy between the two policy instruments. In fact, Sendai Framework monitoring is intended to complement monitoring of 11 SDG indicators listed below

The Sendai Framework Monitor was designed in close consultation with a broad base of stakeholders, and it was released as three modules in 2018.
-
The first module allows for data entry related to the Sendai Framework global targets and indicators, agreed by all United Nations Member States.
-
The second module allows for data entry related to custom targets and indicators. This gives Member States the opportunity to develop their own nationally determined custom targets and indicators to support the monitoring of their National Strategies for Disaster Risk Reduction and produce national reports as required, thus demonstrating their progress in implementing the Sendai Framework.
-
The third module is an analytics module, which allows all validated information to be filtered for comparison by target, indicator, year and/or region and accessed as charts, maps and tables. This third module is publicly available and enables Member States to demonstrate their progress in contributing to the global targets and indicators of the Sendai Framework. It also shows how countries stand in their efforts on risk reduction as compared across time (e.g. with the period of the Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015) and space (across countries and regions).
