Consultancy for the National Disaster Comission from Papua New Guinea to strengthen emergency preparedness

The National Disaster Centre from Papua New Guinea (PNG) and the World Bank comissioned a consultancy to strengthen emergency preparedness and response (EP&R) in PNG. Key Aid Consulting delivered an EP&R Diagnostic and an Investment Plan. The diagnostic was based on a simplified version of the World Bank’s Ready to Respond framework and examined five components: legal and institutional accountability, information, facilities, personnel, and equipment. The score for the components was based on interviews with 21 stakeholders, in which they gave a score for each of the components’ criteria and a qualitative account to it. The findings of the diagnostic were shared and discussed in a hybrid validation workshop (in PNG and remote). The investmen plan presented a costed plan for the National Disaster Centre (NDC) based on the cost-related data provided by NDC itself. The consultants identified investment options based on the five components analysed in the diagnotic. For the whole- of-Government EP&R in PNG, the investment plan provided a fictional scenario-based allocation, should there be 100 million USD available for investment in EP&R.
