JICA’s Policy on Disaster Risk Reduction and Future Outlook
摘要
Landslide disaster risk is likely to be created at the nexus with human activities. Many developing countries are experiencing rapid urbanization and therefore tend to be vulnerable to and exposed to landslide disaster risk. Disaster risk reduction is critical to overcoming poverty alleviation, and sustainable development. Because developing countries, however, have many social issues, a sufficient budget is unlikely to be allocated to DRR. The international framework, including the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (2015–2030), emphasizes the importance for developed countries to help developing countries through international cooperation, such as the Official Development Assistance (ODA). This article overviews Japan’s ODA for landslide disaster risk reduction and attempts to outline the characteristics of Japan’s ODA.
