dc.description.abstractThis document describes the general methodology of the Index of Governance and Public Policy in Disaster Risk Management (iGOPP) and presents the main concepts that support both disaster risk management and governance, defining their fundamental characteristics. It also includes a series of good practices for appropriate disaster risk management governance identified in several countries in the Region as well as a detailed description of the iGOPP design, formulation and application process. Lastly, the document describes the data collection process carried out in the national applications of the Index and presents a list of the 241 indicators that constitutes the Index. The application of the Index of Governance and Public Policy in Disaster Risk Management (iGOPP) has revealed the situation of Barbados regarding the legal, institutional and budgetary conditions to implement an effective disaster risk management (DRM) public policy. The results of the application of iGOPP in Barbados (2018) show an overall level of advancement of 20.68%, which places the country within the "incipient" range according to the classification system used for this Index. The analysis of the results by components of public policy reform in shows that the highest level of progress corresponds to "General Framework" with 25% compliance, risk reduction" at 26%, "disaster preparedness" at 29%, which places it in the "incipient" range. The other components of public policy reform to improve DRM show a "low level of progress with "risk identification" at 20%, " “recovery planning” at 7%, and "financial protection” at 17%. When considering the different DRM processes in the public policy phases, shows "incipient" progress for the "central policy coordination and articulation" (36%) and "policy evaluation” (23%). However, progress in the other processes are in the “low” range, with different compliance levels as follows: "definition of sectorial responsibilities" (13%), "definition of territorial responsibilities" (12%), "policy implementation" (19%).
