STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE AND RESULTS FRAMEWORK PROGRAM GOAL: Reduced natural disaster vulnerability of urban populations, infrastructure, lifeline facilities and shelter in the Asian region. PROGRAM OBJECTIVE: Establishment of sustainable public and private sector mechanisms for disaster mitigation in the Asian Region. OBJECTIVE INDICATOR #1: Number of operational plans developed with resources identified by national collaborating institutions to carry out mitigation measures after demonstration activities end. Standard/ Target: 10 operational plans. By the end of their respective demonstration activities (approx. 18 months), the national collaborating institutions will develop plans for future action, identifying costs and a strategy for acquiring the resources needed for continuing to implement disaster mitigation activities. Each national implementing team (collaborating institutions) may submit a broad collaborative plan or may submit individual plans to continue or adapt their respective activities beyond the project completion date. Target is based on at least one plan from each participating country. Data Sources: Actual plans sent to ADPC Management Team.   OBJECTIVE INDICATOR #2: Number of replications or adaptations of mitigation skills and procedures promoted in AUDMP demonstration activities by other organizations, communities or countries in the Asian region. Standard/ Target: 25 replications or adaptations. Replication should be initiated during the Program period even if not completed until after the Program ends. Replications may be of methodologies, sets of skills/procedures, guidelines/ standards, or policies. Replications must be attributable to the example of the demonstration projects. Target has been revised upward (from 5) to reflect national project targets. Data Sources: Activity reports; surveys & evaluations; requests for guidelines/models received by ADPC Management Team and national partners. Critical Activities: Process documentation of demonstration activities and methodologies. Promotion and public awareness efforts with relevant government officials, decision-makers, community groups and professionals (e.g., promotional materials, training, city-sharing workshops, community meetings, electronic networking).   OBJECTIVE INDICATOR #3: Amount of investment from non-AUDMP funding sources attracted by Program and demonstration activities. Standard/ Target: Additional investment of 5% of the total Program budget will be attracted from local, regional and/or international organizations. Reports from national collaborating partners should list a) local public and private investment, in cash and in kind, and b) external support acquired (for example, from international organizations, bilateral donors, regional institutions). This indicator measures investments and contributions above and beyond the required 15% "counterpart contribution" specified in the contracts between ADPC and national partner institutions Data Sources: In-kind contribution forms, contractual documentation, loan agreements; organizational reports, Activity Reports; financial records. Critical Activities: Establishment/maintenance of linkages with other organizations and businesses; documentation and exploration of opportunities for cost-sharing; Program promotion via international fora, etc.   OBJECTIVE INDICATOR #4: Number of households potentially benefiting from AUDMP-sponsored activities to reduce disaster vulnerability. Standard/ Target: Estimated (TBD) households. Represents 100% of households in the communities targeted for implementation of the demonstration projects. This indicator does not measure participation or satisfaction -- only potential coverage of vulnerability-reduction activities. This indicator also does not measure coverage of national policy changes. Data Sources: Municipal census data, national demonstration project documentation. Critical Activities: Establishment/maintenance of linkages with other organizations and businesses; documentation and exploration of opportunities for cost-sharing; Program promotion via international fora, etc.   RESULT#1: Improved capacity of municipal officials to manage risk, apply mitigation skills and technologies. INDICATOR 1.1: No. of new or improved assessment methods and guidelines/standards used for public and private sector development. Standard/ Target: At least 10 new or improved methods or guidelines/standards adopted and used during the Program period. Count ordinances, development regulations, building standards, vulnerability/risk analyses -- any means a community or municipality has for controlling or regulating development, incorporating hazard information. Monitor applications and enforcement of standards/regulations by city officials and private professionals. Target is based on one new or improved assessment method or set of guidelines/standards used per national demonstration project. [Replications outside the targeted demonstration sites are counted under Obj. Ind. #2. National policy changes are counted under Result #3.] Data Sources: Regularly-scheduled Activity Reports; municipal records; SOPs and published regulations. Critical Activities: Preparation of hazard, vulnerability maps; identification of elements at risk. Recommendations for mitigation strategy; identification of implementation options and priorities. INDICATOR 1.2: No. of emergency preparedness and response plans written or revised to reflect improved information on hazards and vulnerability. Standard/ Target: At least 8 municipal emergency plans written or revised during the Program period. To be counted, they must be stand-alone plans; adoption of a plan formulated by a larger entity (regional, provincial, etc.) does not count, although the plan itself might qualify as a replication if influenced by the demonstration project activities. Target is based on one plan per national demonstration project. Data Sources: Current and prior municipal emergency preparedness and response plans; business plans; community service plans.   RESULT#2: Improved access to hazard mitigation information and skills (techniques, methodologies, experience) throughout the region. INDICATOR 2.1: Percent of public and private sector professionals with AUDMP-initiated disaster mitigation training who are using the knowledge gained in fields impacting disaster management or urban development. Standard/ Target: 75% of the public and private sector professionals trained in AUDMP-initiated mitigation courses held during the Program period. Count as a baseline the participants in regional and national core courses, not those taking project-specific skills training. Guidelines: No. trained during LOP estimated to be 150. Data Sources: ADPC and national partner training organization records. Surveys of individuals and employers, conducted approximately 6-9 months following the training, to track whether the knowledge conveyed is being put to use. Activity Reports [showing # trained and # trainees working in related jobs], course schedules, course participant lists with names and position information. Critical Activities: Development of training materials/curriculum, conduct of courses; follow-up survey/assessment tool. INDICATOR 2.2: No. of institutions where AUDMP-initiated training and professional development course modules are institutionalized. Standard/ Target: At least 12 institutions (ADPC plus one for each country conducting a demonstration project) offer these courses in their regular curriculum for at least 3 years following project completion. The institutions must demonstrate capability (curriculum and resources) and promotional efforts to hold the course by the end of the project period. Data Sources: Training institution curricula; course attendance records; Activity Reports. Critical Activities: Development and conduct of core course modules; signing of MOUs with National Partner Training Institutions. INDICATOR 2.3: Level of participation in the AUDMP regional information and contact network established during the Program. Standard/ Target: Total participation in the network increases by 30% annually during Program period. First year target is 25 organizations, which becomes the baseline for future increases. Participation means active involvement in issues dialogues, information exchange and dissemination, and/or collaborative activities. Data Sources: AUDMP Networking Guide; AUDMP contact database records; documentation of information requests and responses/info dissemination; questionnaires and interviews on info use; National Activity Reports. Critical Activities: Information outreach and exchange activities, distribution of project "bulletins", network development at the regional and national project levels, construction and maintenance of Program database, etc.   RESULT#3: Improved policy environment for disaster mitigation. INDICATOR 3.1: Improved policy environment for disaster mitigation. Standard/ Target: At least 4 national policies established or revised as a result of AUDMP demonstration activities, training and/or promotion of mitigation strategies and techniques. Count broad national policies, not ordinances or standards/guidelines. Data Sources: Actual policy documentation, legal or regulatory approvals; budget allocations; evaluations. Critical Activities: Policy workshops, policy assessments and recommenda-tions; training, information & networking activities.
