This research project intends to assess the trajectory of HADR commitments to inform the crafting of an evidence-based strategy for the region. It aims to evaluate the feasibility of political commitment to a region-wide agreement, the institutional implementability and the technical correctness needed for such a strategy or agreement. It will therefore examine the role of (i) major powers; (ii) regional organisations and multi-stakeholder partnerships that cover South Asia, Southeast Asia and the Pacific; and (iii) community needs of those most exposed to natural hazards. The research project builds upon previous HADR research on national assessments of the five most at risk countries to natural hazards – Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Philippines and Indonesia – as well as two countries of particular interest to Southeast Asia due to their exposure and limited capacity – Papua New Guinea and Timor Leste.
