Abstract

This study explores the potential of integrating the PAR-Sendai Action Framework (PSAF) with the Model for Collaborative Evaluations (MCE) to enhance organizational resilience for disaster risk reduction (DRR). PSAF provides a structured risk assessment and mitigation framework, while the MCE emphasizes stakeholder involvement in guiding collaborative evaluations. The proposed conceptual framework merges these strengths, enabling organizations to collaboratively evaluate DRR measures, identify emerging risks, and refine strategies based on ongoing feedback. The integration of PSAF and the MCE highlights the possibilities of addressing both root causes and immediate risk factors of disasters. The structured risk assessment of PSAF harmonized with the MCE’s focus on stakeholder involvement and continuous evaluation, facilitating an adaptable and proactive DRR strategy. Enhanced stakeholder involvement from community members, authorities, NGOs, and private sector entities fosters a collective understanding of risks and shared responsibility. Continuous monitoring and evaluation ensure the relevance and effectiveness of DRR strategies over time. This dual focus prepares organizations to better endure and recover from disasters, promotes knowledge sharing, and improves the overall effectiveness of DRR initiatives, laying the groundwork for future research on the framework’s practical application.
