The report draws on two comparative case studies in Vanuatu and Solomon Islands, as well as an extensive desk review of documents. It explores the roles and impact of Organisations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs) in each country and identifies key challenges and enablers constraining and supporting OPDs’ contributions to the disaster preparedness and response sector, through a localisation lens.

This case study explores Fiji’s progress in integration of climate change adaptation and DRR, identifying key themes and opportunities for stakeholders to advance approaches that reduce risk and enhance resilience at the community level in Fiji.

In PNG disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation activities largely operate largely in silos. This case study identifies opportunities for high-quality integrated approaches at the local and provincial levels to be replicated and scaled.

This case study explores Solomon Islands’ progress in the integration of DRR and climate change adaptation (CCA), identifying key themes and opportunities for stakeholders to advance approaches that reduce risk and enhance resilience in communities.

This case study on the integration of disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation policies in Vanuatu is part of the ‘Beyond Barriers’ series, an initiative of Humanitarian Advisory Group, Australian Humanitarian Partnership and World Vision Australia.

This case study is part of the Humanitarian Advisory Group and World Vision Beyond Barriers research project on climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction integration, focusing on Australian Humanitarian Partnership programming in Timor-Leste.

This report presents outcomes from a Learning Forum in November 2021 to further explore opportunities to advance the integration of disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation in the Pacific.

The Fiji Shelter Handbook is the first of three national shelter guidelines for Fiji, Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands that are being published under Disaster READY. The aim is to increase knowledge of disaster resilient construction techniques and methodologies, and safer shelter practice, as well as the capacity of responding stakeholders to deliver better coordinated, more efficient and safer disaster response and recovery construction in Fiji, Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands. 

World Vision Australia and the Australian Bureau of Meteorology supported the Solomon Islands Meteorological Services to complete surveys of the role of traditional knowledge in warning communities of potential disasters in the Solomon Islands. The survey and this report are part of a larger Traditional Knowledge Project being implemented by the Solomon Islands Meteorological Services.

The Australian Government through the Australian Humanitarian Partnership Disaster READY program, World Vision Vanuatu and CARE developed a joint survey to take a deeper look at Community Disaster and Climate Change Committees in Vanuatu.. This review presents key findings from the survey, and seeks to highlight learnings that might build a better understanding of the role of these committee in disaster preparedness, response and recovery and how the Disaster READY program can best provide support.

Aims to guide the multi-hazard management of disaster risk in development at all levels as well as within and across all sectors.
