Phon and Tinh (2010) also established that an enabling environment, which includes good governance at national and local levels, is indeed critical in ensuring effective implementations of DRR efforts within communities (Phong & Tinh, 2010).

These studies argue that weak governance prevents the poor's access to natural resources and hinders them from securing climate-resilient livelihoods.…”

“…Or where they exist, they are not well documented. Drawing from Phong and Tinh (2010), this paper submits that integration can be partly accomplished when the constraints and opportunities facing the organizations (particularly government organizations) that must undertake these changes are addressed. In this regard, to integrate DRR and CCA, priority must be given to establishing institutional linkages, particularly at the national level of government, by removing structural barriers, thus providing a mechanism for convergence of policies, planning, and programs (Mall et al, 2019).…”

Climate change, through extreme weather events, is increasing the risk and impacts of disasters. An increase in extreme weather events underscores the importance of bringing coherence in efforts to reduce the risk of disasters and to adapt to the impacts of the changing climate. The linkages between disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) and the need to integrate the two policy areas are well documented in the literature. However, the implementation of DRR and CCA measures continues in isolation. This article seeks to contribute to the ongoing efforts to bring coherence between DRR and CCA by identifying factors that would make it easy to integrate the two policy areas. An exploratory-sequential mixed methods design was used to collect data from 41 participants from 10 of the 16 SADC Member States and two international cooperating partners. Participants identified political will and commitment, policy and legislative frameworks, provision of resources and capacities, addressing institutional barriers, and an improvement in communication and coordination as the main factors that could enhance the integration of government organizations for DRR and CCA. This paper submits that successful integration of institutions responsible for DRR and CCA, particularly

Towards understanding enabling environments for good practices in disaster risk management: an analysis of critical junctures in Manizales, Colombia

The city of Manizales in Colombia has been widely recognized as a good practice case in disaster risk management (DRM). Previous research has sought to amplify learning from Manizales through examining the characteristics of its innovative practices. These are championed by an inter-institutional alliance that includes academia, the local government, the regional environmental authority and service providers. This paper argues that this learning needs to be accompanied by a nuanced understanding of the historical trajectories that have allowed Manizales to create and consolidate its current enabling environment for DRM. The argument derives from an analysis of fieldwork data, including semi-structured interviews, participant observation and secondary data, through a critical juncture approach. Focusing on the critical juncture of seasonal heavy rains in 2003, the paper illustrates how institutional changes configured cultural–cognitive, regulatory and normative conditions for the emergence of one of Manizales’ most recognized good practices, the Guardians of the Slope programme.
