Since December 2010, the structure at the headquarters has been supported by 14 District Disaster Risk Management Offices which are currently manned, on temporary basis, by 13 Assistant District Disaster Risk Management Officers (ADDRMOs) in 13 districts. The district offices have to-date been operating at the Local Authority (LA) level with their functions and financial resources still administered from DoDMA Headquarters.
As such, this Devolution Plan has been prepared to guide the devolution process in the sector.
The structure of this document includes background information, justification for the devolution process and methodology for preparing the Devolution Plan immediately following this introduction. Thereafter, the plan presents a clear determination of the functions to be devolved; the actual functions to be devolved; the implementation strategy, resource mobilization and monitoring and evaluation for the devolution plan; and finally, the conclusion.
