Dear John
The Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme (CDMP) of the Government
of Bangladesh (partly) funded by a group of donors including a big chunk by
DFID-B has an elaborate institutional framework and governance roles in
disaster risk reduction. But I do not have a copy of the document although
Dr. Nick Hall and I had worked on the design of the part of the programme
(coponent 3b) which dealt with participation of the local government
institutions (Union Parishads and Upazilas). DFID or UNDP Bangladesh
website must have the documents. You may look into this site:
www.lcgbangladesh.org and visit the Disasters link. You can also find
brief reference to how the disasters standing order by the government of
Bangladesh is structured in the NGO study Nilufar and I did. For the
Government of India, I know that Oxfam had sponsored production of a
resource book a few years back which had governance elements. Of course you
can access information about other South Asian countries through the Duryog
Nivaran network. Let me know if you need more info on these.
Taher.
