Purpose:

The Asia Regional Plan seeks to guide and support the national implementation of the Sendai Framework, but is not a replacement of national plans. It does so by identifying priorities at regional activities to support national and local actions, enhance exchange of good practice, knowledge and information among governments and stakeholders, in addition to strengthening regional cooperation to support the implementation of the Sendai Framework.

This regional plan aims to provide:

• Broad policy direction to guide the implementation of the Sendai Framework in the context of the 2030 sustainable development agendas in the region;
• Long term road map, spanning the 15-year horizon of the Sendai Framework outlining a chronological pathway for implementation of priorities to achieve seven global targets;
• Two-year action plan with specific activities that are prioritized based on the long term road map and in line with the policy direction.

This regional plan is one of the main outcome documents of the AMCDRR in November 2016 in New Delhi, India.
