| UNDP
has provided extensive support to countries in their efforts to
strengthen national capacity development programmes. Capacity
development is an essential component of UNDP efforts to tackle
the dual challenges of securing development gains and promoting
opportunities for continued sustainable progress. The Millennium
Development Goals, benchmarks for human development progress by
2015, provide the framework for capacity development initiatives
for the COs, including disaster risk reduction. More
specifically, capacity development initiatives related to disaster
risk reduction aim to put in place the appropriate policies, strategies,
legal frameworks and institutional structures for sustainable
disaster risk reduction through technical assistance and training.
Currently, UNDP is supporting initiatives in 166 countries in
all regions covered by the organization. More
detailed profile sheets are available on each country
programme featured in this Web section. |

| UN
Disaster Management Training Programme |
| Human
resource development is an essential component of capacity building
and UNDP has been supporting disaster reduction training through
the development of the Disaster
Management Training Programme (DMTP) in
Central America, south-eastern Europe and Southern Africa as well
as through developing the capacities of its own staff.
DMTP
has conducted more than 70 workshops since 1991, benefiting approximately
6,000 participants in Africa, Arab States, Asia and the Pacific,
Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States and Latin America
and the Caribbean. The workshops have been catalytic in supporting
capacity building in areas such as the revision of national disaster
management plans, the adoption of relevant laws and regulations,
the creation and strengthening of national and UN Disaster Management
Teams, contingency planning ect. They often generate follow-up
training events cascading down learning to community levels and
initiate technical projects supported by UNDP, other partner agencies
and donor governments. For
