Mainstreaming disaster risk reduction in agriculture: An assessment of progress made against the Hyogo Framework for Action

The paper focuses on reviewing the progress achieved against HFA Priority for Action 1 ("Ensuring that disaster risk reduction is a national and local priority with a strong institutional basis for implementation") and specifically the progress in mainstreaming disaster risk reduction (DRR) within the agriculture sector.

The paper proposes the following key recommendations (pp. 73-77):

• Prioritise critical sectors and include specific targets for each.
• Set agriculture-specific targets and indicators on risk governance.
• Propose clear financial commitments across development sectors.
• Define “Resilient Recovery” as goal in HFA2 with clear targets.
• Monitor and report progress in critical sectors such as agriculture.
• Be coherent with the post-2015 development agenda and the climate change adaptation agreement.
