Disaster READY Summary Report 2022-23

This report covers Disaster READY’s achievements and challenges across all five implementing countries—Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste, Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu—in the first year of the program’s second five-year phase.

The content of this report is a collation of annual reporting submitted by partner ANGOs and Disaster READY Country Committees (DRCCs). ANGOs are required to provide annual and progress-level reports against their country projects. DRCCs are responsible for developing an overarching country report, which involves bringing ANGOs and implementing partners together to discuss key achievements, challenges and successes in each Disaster READY country. Annual reporting includes an overview of activities completed, participation figures and core indicator data.

This report also draws from the reflections of three independent reviewers, with focuses on gender equality, disability inclusion and climate change adaption and resilience, who provided feedback on the project and country-level reports submitted by ANGOs and DRCCs. The purpose of these independent reviews was to highlight the importance of these DFAT policy priorities (articulated in the Investment Design Document) and encourage partners to ensure that their projects are actively working towards them. ANGOs were given the opportunity to respond to the feedback provided by the reviewers and incorporate changes into their reporting as appropriate.
