Parallel international audit on disaster Risk Reduction

The current accountability framework covers the accountability of the government, bureaucracy and politicians to the public and parliament. In this framework, participation of parliament and particularly citizens in this process remains limited. On the other hand, private sector, citizens, and even international community are directly interested in disaster risk reduction’s (DRR) concerns. It is obvious that the existing accountability framework in this field does not cover all parties. In the global matters such as DRR and climate change,we believe that the accountability has to be expanded beyond the basic structure in order to respond to the needs of the national and international communities. In this paper, with the goal of overcoming the limitations attached to current accountability framework for DRR.
