**Responsibilities**:
Organizational Setting and Reporting
Created in December 1999, the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) is the designated focal point in the United Nations system for the coordination of disaster reduction and to ensure synergies among the disaster reduction activities of the United Nations. Led by the Special representative of the Secretary General (SRSG), UNDRR has around 100 staff located in its HQ in Geneva, Switzerland, and 5 regional offices and other field presences.
Specifically, UNDRR coordinates international efforts in disaster risk reduction and guides, monitors and reports on its implementation, particularly through follow-up and review of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030. UNDRR creates global awareness of disaster risk reduction benefits and empower people to reduce their vulnerability to hazards. It encourages for greater investments in disaster risk reduction to protect people’s lives and assets, and for increased and informed participation of men and women in reducing disaster risk. UNDRR informs and connects people by providing practical services and tools such as Prevention Web, publications on good practices, and by leading the preparation of the Global Assessment Report on Disaster Risk Reduction and the organization of the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction.

8. Highlight gaps and identify priorities and needs for investment and public expenditures in risk prevention and reduction to consider in future plans and budgets;
9. Review and assess infrastructure plans and strategies of critical sectors, and provide recommendations to further embed DRR/CCA considerations in the planning and budgeting process;
10. Disseminate findings through technical workshops and events, with the aim of mainstreaming DRR into national budgeting processes, and provide training on the budget review methodology.
11. Facilitate partnerships among government institutions, UN Agencies, donors, private sector, civil society to support the formulation and implementation of DRR investments;
