Contract partner: CDEMA - Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency Country: Nord- und Mittelamerika, regional/länderübergreifend Funding amount: € 512.500,00 Project start: 01.12.2012 End: 30.11.2015

Short Description:

Overall goal


The Comprehensive Disaster Management Strategy and Framework adopted by CARICOM in 2008 emphasizes the inextricable link between disasters and development and emphasizes the critical importance of integrating disaster risk reduction into development planning and decision-making. CDEMA is a specialized regional disaster management agency established and supported by Caribbean Governments and mandated to implement this framework.

The purpose of this project is to enhance the resilience in the 18 CDEMA partner states (Anguilla, Antigua & Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, Montserrat, Saint Lucia, St. Kitts/Nevis, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, Suriname, Trinidad & Tobago, Turks & Caicos Islands, Virgin Islands) to respond to the effects of climate change and natural disasters through practical planning and adaptation interventions at the national and community levels. Phase 2 will focus on strengthening national capacity for climate change adaptation in the CDEMA partner states through integration of climate change considerations into their national Disaster Management work programmes (climate smarting), and supporting the adoption of community level awareness & capacity building tools developed in the first phase of the project.

Expected results are:

Result 1: National level institutional capacity for integration of climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction is strengthened in all CDEMA partner states through climate smarting of country work programmes.

Result 2: "Climate Smarting" is advanced in five communities in the partner states with the support of the Civil Society Committee.

Results will be acheived through support to National Disaster Coordination Offices and other national stakeholders, as well as community level consultations and trainings.

Direct target beneficiaries are 13 persons of national agencies and approx. 250 residents of 5 communities; indirect beneficiaries are 28 Mio persons of the region.

  • Policy marker: are used to identify, assess and facilitate the monitoring of activities in support of policy objectives concerning gender equality, aid to environment, participatory development/good governance, trade development and reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health. Activities targeting the objectives of the Rio Conventions include the identification of biodiversity, climate change mitigation, climate change adaptation, and desertification.

  • Donor/ source of funding: The ADA is not only implementing projects and programmes of the Austrian Development Cooperation , but also projects funded from other sources and donors such as
    • AKF - Foreign Disaster Fund of the Austrian federal government
    • BMLFUW - Federal Ministry for Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Water
    • EU - Funds of the European Commission
    • Others - various other donors are listed in ADA’s annual business report.
  • Type of Aid – Aid modalities: classifies transfers from the donor to the first recipient of funds such as budget support, core contributions and pooled programmes and funds to CSOs and multilateral organisations, project-type interventions, experts and other technical assistance, scholarships and student costs in donor countries, debt relief, administrative costs and other in-donor expenditures.
  • Purpose/ sector code: classifies the specific area of the recipient’s economic or social structure, funded by a bilateral contribution.
  • Tied/Untied: Untied aid is defined as loans and grants whose proceeds are fully and freely available to finance procurement from all OECD countries and substantially all developing countries. Transactions are considered tied unless the donor has, at the time of the aid offer, clearly specified a range of countries eligible for procurement which meets the tests for “untied” aid.
