NDM Partnership The Memorandum of Agreement on the NDM Partnership was signed in 19 June 2001 by Vietnamese Government and international donors, at the mid-term CG meeting. The NDM-Partnership will be involved in ongoing donor supported programs in the Central Provinces which deal with natural disaster mitigation issues. In ongoing and future donor funded programs, the Secretariat will provide information, technical advice, and assistance in the co-ordination of natural disaster mitigation related activities. The NDM-Partnership
will also be directly involved in new donor supported programs that
are advocated and prioritised through the NDM-Partnership. After this severe flooding, Vietnamese Government officials and members of the International Donor community began consultations on measures to be taken to reduce losses suffered when flooding and other natural disasters strike Central Vietnam. These consultations led to the conclusion that a strategic partnership to mitigate natural disasters in Central Vietnam was needed. In order to attain a better understanding of this natural disaster problem, two missions were sent to the Central Provinces to conduct background studies and needs assessments. In January 2000, a Fact-finding Mission went to the area. This mission assessed the situation and recommended that a broader-based mission made up of national and international experts conduct a more wide-ranging study. In May 2000, a Multi-donor Mission visited all of provinces in Central Vietnam affected by the 1999 floods. The Mission was requested to investigate mitigation measures for all types of natural disasters including floods, storms, and droughts. Mission findings were documented in a Multi-donor Mission Final Report issued in September 2000. These findings identified programs and projects that should be implemented to mitigate natural disasters in Central Vietnam. Disaster mitigation encompasses a range of measures, including disaster preparedness, disaster warning capabilities, response-, relief-, rehabilitation measures, as well as structural and non-structural programs. To implement these disaster mitigation measures, an institutional framework is needed. The Natural Disaster Mitigation (NDM) Partnership can fill this role and create an opportunity for Government and Donors to work together to solve the most pressing development problem in Central Vietnam: How to mitigate the natural disasters that prevent sustainable development in one of the poorest regions of the country.
