Zimmermann Markus
Guideline, English, 18 pages
Summary
draft version Natural events and naturally induced technical failures constitute a major threat to any kind of development activities in disaster-prone areas. Therefore, the integration of disaster risk reduction (DRR) issues in the planning process of humanitarian and development projects substantially contributes to the sustainability of those efforts. The project cycle management (PCM) provides several opportunities to include DRR, thus to prevent the failure of projects during times of crisis. Key questions with explanations and additional information will guide the reader to fulfil the tasks to consider disaster risk reduction issues in all four phases of the project cycle. The procedure is outlined and further explained on the following pages.
