Designstöd för Nationellt Resilience Program Programme development support for National        Resilience Programme - Programme development support for National Insatsen är ett stöd till designen av ett nationellt resiliensprogramme för gemensamt implementering av FN-systemet (UNDP, UNWOMEN, UNOPS) och nationella myndigheter (MoDMR, MoP, MoCWA, etc.). Ingångsvärdena för designprocesses är att bygga på resultaten från CDMP, prioritera samarbete mellan olika myndigheter och sektorer, inkludera ett tydligt genusfokus, koordinera med andra program och initativ inom DRR/CCA/resiliens och fokusera programmet på områden där implementerade organisationer har tydliga komperativa fördelar. Givargruppens(SE, UK, EU) ingångsvärden finns mer utförligt beskrivna i bilagan "Guiding priciples for design". 

Designprocessen förväntas ta sex månader och ambitionen är att då ha tagit fram ett projektförslag som är godkänt av GoB. Programmedesignen leds av ett "task team" med representanter från UNDP, UNWOMEN och UNOPS men ambassaden skriver avtal och finansierar processen genom UNWOMEN. The intervention is a support to the design process of new National Resilience Progamme that will be implemented jointly by the UN-system (UNDP, UNWOMEN, UNOPS) and government ministries  (MoDMR, MoP, MoCWA, etc.). Guiding principles from the donor group (SE, UK, EU) for the design are to build on achievements of CDMP, prioritize intra-ministerial programming, focus on gender integration, coordinate with planned and on-going project and initiatives in the DRR/CCD/resilience sector and to limit the scope of the programme to areas with definite comparative advantages of the implementing agencies.

The desing process is planned for six months and the ambition is to deliver a programme document that has been approved by national authorities for implementation. The processes is lead by a task team with representatives from the UNDP, UNWOMEN and UNOPS by the Embassy's agreement will be signed with UNWOMEN. The objective of the design support to UN-Women was to develop a full project proposal for the National Resilience Programme. Sweden decided in Decemebr 2017 to sign the agreement with UNOPS for further support to thje full project of NRP.
In 2015-2016 Sweden, together with EU and DFID, invited the UN to develop aconcept note on how the UN would work with the Government of Bangladesh, thedeveloping partner's and others to develop a "focused" programme to support the furtherstrengthening of the approach to disaster management in Bangladesh. The invitationletter included specific guiding principles on which issues should be addressed in theconcept note.
As a response to the invitation at hand, Sweden recieved a concept note from the threeUN-agencies (UN-Women/UNDP/UNOPS). The Embassy agreed in April 2016 to provide a 6 month (April-October) design support of initially 2,75 MSEK to UN-WOMEN (together with UNOPS and UNDP) for theproduction of a proposal based on the concept note, The National Resilience Programme.
The agreement between Sweden and UN-Women was further amended to a totalamount of 4,5 MSEK and with an extension of duration to April 2017.
The overall goal of the NRP is "to sustain resilience of human and economicdevelopment in Bangladesh through inclusive, gender responsive disaster managementand risk informed management", which in turn is foreseen to generate the followingoutcome:
"Substantial increase in resilience to disaster and reduction in disaster risk, loss of livesand livelihoods of men, women, Girls and boys; and protection of the health of persons,businesses and communities in Bangladesh".
The Swedish results strategy for international development cooperation with Bangladesh2014-2020 is aligned with the NRP mainly within sub-objective 3: A betterEnvironment, limited climate impact and greater resilience to environmental impact,climate change and natural disasters.
In the Swedish results strategy it is a guiding principle that both individuals andinstitutions need support to increase their resilience to climate change and environmentalrisks. It is also foreseen that contributions in this area are important, as strengtheneddisaster management systems and resilience lower the risk of existing investments beinglost to natural disasters.
The following outputs have been set up for NRP:Output 1: Improved capacities for gender-responsive risk-informed development planning;Output 2: Strengthened disability inclusive, gender-responsive national capacities toaddress recurrent and mega disasters;Output 3: Improved capacity of selected public institutions to achieve resilienceoutcomes through designing and constructing risk-informed and gender-responsiveinfrastructure system;Output 4: Enhanced women leadership capacities for gender-responsive disastermanagement decisions, investments and policies at national and local levels;Output 5: Strengthened disability inclusive, gender responsive community preparedness,response and recovery capacities for recurrent and mega disasters.
The outputs of the NRP is planned to be achieved by adopting the following principles:- National ownership;- Building understanding of disaster risk to promote investment in disaster risk reductionand resilience;- Strategic multi-ministerial engagement;- Acountability and empowerment of partners;- Gender-responsive programming and management;- Complementarity and coordination.
