Expected outcome Strengthened safety and
resilience of Pacific and Caribbean SIDS communities to a range of natural hazards by facilitating and supporting a south-south cooperation program targeted at strengthening climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction capacity in SIDS, based on the transfer of appropriate ‘southern’ expertise and technologies.
Output 1 Identification, documentation
and dissemination of best practices on integrated climate change adaptation and disaster management specific to the SIDS context.
Eg. Case studies, presentations at meetings, contributions to electronic networks
Output 2
Transfer and exchange of technologies currently being used by SIDS for effective, equitable and appropriate disaster risk management and climate change adaptation, between the Pacific and the Caribbean regions.
Eg. Training courses, exchange visits
Output 3
Disaster risk management and climate change adaptation included in the broader development agenda through support for national action planning, mainstreaming and advocacy work in the Pacific and Caribbean regions and countries.
Eg. guidelines, templates, best practices

adopt for the Pacific – Fiji Aug 2009
Caribbean colleagues at Pacific Platform in Fiji

regional institutions SOPAC and SPREP
Participation in 4th CDM
Presentation made by Solomon Islands’ disaster manager on traditional food preservation techniques (casava) in preparation for cyclone season, to share details on long-standing and effective traditional coping practices which may be of relevance for remote communities in the Caribbean - Jamaica Dec 2009
Field visit to landslide mitigation site in rural Jamaica, with explanations on lessons learned on the containment and prevention of recurring landslides which threaten communities and local infrastructure – Jamaica Dec 2009
Achievements to dateExchange visit by selected Pacific partners to view and discuss best practices in Jamaica,
Cuba, St. Lucia and Barbados, which constituted the first inter-regional exchange on a practitioner level for these key regional
and national partners; thematic focal points established to facilitate follow-up
– July 2010
Examples of technical knowledge exchange Field visits to view a low-cost but effective
flood warning system (Jamaica), local centre for risk reduction management (Cuba), and a seismic monitoring station (St. Lucia) which
could be replicated in the Pacific – July 2010
Achievements to date
Caribbean delegation undertook field trip to Yasawas in Fiji to see how one
remote island community is implementing community-based
disaster preparedness in the Pacific with minimal resources
– Aug 2010
Training on gender mainstreaming in disaster risk management provided by Caribbean senior expert to all Pacific disaster managers, as part of their annual professional development closed session, resulting in evidence of their better grasp of this issue – Aug 2010
5 representatives: IFRC, ECLAC, CCCCC, INSMET, CRMI
Delegation in Yasawas
Achievements to dateVisit by Director of the Caribbean Institute of
Meteorology and Hydrology (CIMH) to SPREP in Samoa, achieving familiarization
with the organizational structure and priorities of each; details provided on how the
Caribbean Meteorological Organization was established and operates in the Caribbean,
as a potential model for the Pacific – June 2010
Calibration room at CIMH
Achievements to date
Caribbean senior expert provided for work session between SOPAC, UNECLAC and
IUCN to design upcoming training on post-disaster damage and loss assessment for Pacific stakeholders, integrating best practice
from macro and micro level assessment methodologies from both regions – Sept 2010
Achievements to date
Publication “Integrating Gender in DRM in Small Island Developing States: A Checklist” to be released in January 2011
Video Documentary on technical exchange “Looking South Across the Oceans” highlighting south-south cooperation
Website “Chronicles of the South-South journey” www.undp.org.cu/crmiTwo published articles: “o lai tu kê gestion dezas o riesgodel clima sou zile motu? “How do you manage disaster andclimate risk on your island?” South-South Action (Summer 2010); South-South SIDS Cooperation (Biodiversity News, Summer 2010)
UNDP strategy
Convergence of UNDP Priority Areas
Priority on South-South Cooperation Priority on documenting and capturing
knowledge and facilitating knowledge transfer Priority on capacity building Focus on Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate
Change Adaptation
UNDP strategy A crucial part of these new partnerships
will be the way in which we facilitate South-South knowledge transfer. Much of the most relevant experience on how to achieve effective development results is likely to come from those countries most recently involved in achieving them….. Going forward UNDP is likely to be more often and more explicitly associated with South-South co-operation and to place it at the very centre of its mission.
