- Name
- Proportion of local governments that adopt and implement local disaster risk reduction strategies in line with national disaster risk reduction strategies
- Indicator purpose
- The purpose of this indicator is to contribute to sustainable development and strengthen economic, social, health and environmental resilience.
- Abstract
- [a] An open-ended intergovernmental expert working group on indicators and terminology relating to disaster risk reduction established by the General Assembly (resolution 69/284) is developing a set of indicators to measure global progress in the implementation of the Sendai Framework. These indicators will eventually reflect the agreements on the Sendai Framework indicators.
- Contact organization / person
- National Emergency Management Organization (NEMO)
- Unit of measure
- Ratio of the number of local governments with local DRR strategies in line with national strategies and the total number of local governments
- Other characteristics
- The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 was adopted by UN Member States in March 2015 as a global policy of disaster risk reduction. Among the global targets, it will contribute to sustainable development and strengthen economic, social, health and environmental resilience. The economic, environmental and social perspectives would include poverty eradication, urban resilience, and climate change adaptation.
- Classification used
- N/A
- Disaggregation
- Disaggregation is by country and by local government (applying sub-national administrative unit).
- Key statistical concepts
- Member States count the number of local governments that adopt and implement local DRR strategies in line with the national strategy and express it as a percentage of the total number of local governments in the country.
Local governments are determined by the reporting country for this indicator, considering sub-national public administrations with responsibility to develop local disaster risk reduction strategies. It is recommended that countries report on progress made by the lowest level of government accorded the mandate for disaster risk reduction, as the Sendai Framework promotes the adoption and implementation of local disaster risk reduction strategies in every local authority.
Each Member State will calculate the ratio of the number of local governments with local DRR strategies in line with national strategies and the total number of local governments.
Global Average will then be calculated as below through arithmetic average of the data from each Member State.
- Recommended uses
- This indicator is used to help with poverty eradication, urban resilience, and climate change adaptation.

- Target 2020
- 11.b. By 2020, substantially increase the number of cities and human settlements adopting and implementing integrated policies and plans towards inclusion, resource efficiency, mitigation and adaptation to climate change, resilience to disasters, and develop and implement, in line with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, holistic disaster risk management at all levels
