Abstract
In the context of disaster-development nexus, an integrated approach to disaster risk reduction and development interventions from national to community had been lacking. The existing stand-alone approaches reduced aid effectiveness and proven to be not efficient for resilience investment. This paper discusses a new risk-sensitive approach to development planning piloted by DIPECHO (DIsaster Preparedness project of European Commission Humanitarian Office) partners in Sri Lanka by drawing lessons from past experiences in implementing stand-alone CBDRM and community development projects. A framework for integrating disaster resilience strategies within the development process is proposed from the reflections of the risk-sensitive development planning process.
