1 DISASTER MANAGEMENT BUREAU STRATEGIC PLAN

2 PREFACE Historical statistics would suggest that Bangladesh is one of the most disaster prone countries in the world with the greatest negative consequences being associated with cyclones, devastating floods, riverbank erosion, drought, earthquake, arsenic contamination, chemical pollutants, urban pollution, fire and roadside accidents. Internationally, the conventional disaster management model (response, relief and recovery) is being replaced by a more holistic model, wherein the processes of hazard identification and mitigation, community preparedness, integrated response efforts, and recovery are planned for and undertaken contiguously within a risk management context to address issues of vulnerability. An outcome of the World Conference on Disaster Reduction held in Kobe, Japan in January 2005 was the Hyogo Framework for Action This framework calls for all countries of the world to commit: To pursue an integrated multi hazard approach for sustainable development to reduce the incidence and severity of disasters. To place disaster risk at the centre of our political priorities and policies. To integrate disaster risk reduction in our development work. To strengthen the capacity of disaster prone countries to address risk. To invest substantively in disaster preparedness. To reduce the relief - development gap and thereby reduce vulnerability. To enable civil society actors and affected communities to strengthen their resilience to disasters. To reduce the gap between what we know and what we do, with the critical ingredient being political commitment; and To build on the momentum of this World Conference to accelerate implementation of the Framework for Action.

3 DIRECTOR GENERAL S MESSAGE Bangladesh and our Ministry have a new focus, and ultimately we aim to be recognized as a world leader in disaster management. We do however, face many challenges: We are facing unprecedented change in technology We need to embrace a knowledge management and knowledge/information sharing culture Our population demographics are seeing greater urbanization and industrialization We need to develop, train and retain a skilled workforce, capable of delivering our new services and programs We need staff that are capable of accepting change and embracing continuous business improvement We need to develop programs and services that recognize issues of gender and the socially disadvantaged. We need to be recognized across Government and NGOs as a credible, progressive agency, and We need to understand the full impact of climate change on the environment and our activities in disaster management. Our future direction is to ensure we achieve a paradigm shift in disaster management from conventional response and recovery to a more comprehensive risk reduction culture. Our future focus is: To strongly advocate the adoption of a comprehensive approach to risk reduction and risk management, that is based on the international best practice model (AS/NZ ). To engage the whole of government system in risk reduction and risk management through mainstreaming and advocacy strategies. To develop policy and operational frameworks for sustainable coordination, collaboration and information management across government, and with key disaster management stakeholders. To establish formal partnerships with government agencies, NGO, civil society and the private sector for effective and sustainable service delivery. To have a community focus with a strong emphasis on issues of gender and the socially disadvantaged embedded in programs. To establish and maintain strong regional partners and networks, and to actively contribute to national, regional and international disaster management agendas. To pursue the standardisation of disaster management training and systems to align with best practice standards, models and competencies. To build and maintain the professional competencies of our staff. It is with pleasure that I present the Bureau of Disaster Management Strategic Plan , a plan that strives for a better long-term future for Bangladesh. Rafiqul Mohamed Director General

4 PURPOSE OF THE PLAN The purpose of the Disaster Management Bureau Strategic Plan is to provide a statement of key strategies for the provision of services that align with the Ministry of Food and Disaster Management Corporate Plan This plan will be reviewed annually and will be used to; Communicate to staff, NGOs, the Minister and Secretary, and the community what we plan to achieve over the next three years; Provide guidance and direction to staff as to how their work contributes to the achievement of Ministry goals; Provide guidance to DMB senior officials on the direction and focus of work for the Bureau; Provide a framework for reporting on our performance and success in achieving our goals; and Show the link between the Government vision, the MoFDM mission and the DMB strategies and activities.
