AID-OFDA-A-14-00025 Risk reduction in vulnerable areas 2017 ANNUAL PROGRAM PERFORMANCE REPORT of Independencia District, Lima Province 1

1. PROGRAMME OBJECTIVE

Strengthen local capacities of the community inhabitants of those vulnerable settlements, located in two areas: Unificada and Ermitaño (Independencia district) and of the Municipality of Independencia to manage the disasters risk, caused mainly by earthquakes or heavy rains, by developing and applying participatory and sustainable planning methodologies, and by implementing, in a participatory way, risk mitigation activities in highly vulnerable settlements, prioritizing the participation of women and other vulnerable people, adopting a neighborhood approach, as well as considering replicability of the actions performed in other areas with similar characteristics.

2. QUANTIFICATION OF INDICATORS

Below is shown the quantification of the beneficiaries and the description of goals set for the end of the program.

3. SITUATIONS WHICH HAVE AFFECTED THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROGRAM

The program has been affected during its third year 2017 by the following situations:

A. Delay of studies entrusted to UNI-CISMID through signed agreement

This has been the main reason of the program´s delay. According to the program proposal submitted by PREDES, studies on geological hazards (Sector 1. Natural and technological risks) are carried out by the Peru-Japan Center of Earthquake Research and Disaster Mitigation of the National University of Engineering (CISMID-UNI). The

AID-OFDA-A-14-00025 Risk reduction in vulnerable areas 2017 ANNUAL PROGRAM PERFORMANCE REPORT of Independencia District, Lima Province 2

framework agreement was signed in December 2014, but the subscription of the specific agreement for studies was delayed until January 2016. The final deliverable was scheduled after 105 calendar days but the completed studies were received in December 2016.

Implications: • Delay of sub-sectors 2.1 and 2.4 activities (Capacity building and training, Policies and planning), like training with specialized information and the preparation of Disaster Risk Management (DRM) plans (Emergency operations, contingency against earthquakes, community response, disaster prevention and reduction).

Steps taken: • Use of compilation of previous information on studies in the area and entrusted a study on evacuation routes and safe areas for our two selected neighborhoods. • Use "talking maps" produced by the population in workshops organized by the program. • Field visits with dwellers and municipal officials to become aware of the levels of vulnerability and have an overview of the possible prevention and risk reduction measures.

B. Coastal Niño disaster

In FY 2016 El Niño phenomenon (FEN) was forecasted to arrive by the end of year 2015 to Peru with great intensity (extraordinary level) and impact due to heavy rains in Lima city, and Independencia was one of “emergency situation” declared districts. Fortunately, this phenomenon arrived to Peru with diminished strength and damages were low. Although in the first quarter of FY 2017 a severe drought was affecting Northern Peru, suddenly by the end of January 2017 heavy rains started in coastal areas and damages were extremely severe in Northern and central coastal regions, including Lima. 162 deaths and 66 thousand houses destroyed were reported. Independencia district was in alert, along with Northern Lima District´s Commonwealth, but no damage was reported in Independencia District.

Implications: • Appreciation by the municipality and vulnerable population of the importance of the program. • Actions were taken in coordination with Municipality of Independencia District (MID).

Steps taken: • Use of the contingency plan for FEN heavy rains, approved by Working Group for DRM (WG-DRM) • Communication Plan implemented, using messages about El Niño phenomenon prepared in FY 2016 and disseminated through MID´s and PREDES´s media means. Maestro stores (building materials store) prepared a video about Emergency Family Plan, presented by Program´s coordinator.1

C. Mexico´s earthquake disasters

Mexico’s Chiapas (September 8, Mw 8.1) and Central Mexico (Sep. 19, Mw 7.1) earthquake disasters, raised concern about the possibility of a great disaster in Peru´s Central Coastal area, where Lima is located.

From August 16 to September 28, 2017, Predes had more than 5 hours of broadcasting time in the national media, through 16 interviews on radio and television. Within those interviews, 22 minutes were devoted to publicize the Program´s actions and USAID was mentioned as the agency that finances those interventions in the district of Independencia.

Interviews took place as a consequence of the earthquakes´ disasters. The media reported on the damage and consequences that a great magnitude earthquake would bring in Lima, and our Program took TV reporters to our work zones at Independencia trying to show DRR measures, but final interest and broadcast was to show the bad situation, not the good actions that can be developed.

Implications: • Appreciation by vulnerable population about the importance of DRR. • TV broadcasted images of Independencia´s vulnerable dwellings produced concern at the Municipality of Independencia District (MID) as people would think that it is not taking DRR measures. and what actions should be taken to reduce its impact on hillside areas

Steps taken: • A communication strategy will be designed through MID´s and PREDES´s media means to show the results and achievements of DRR actions at Independencia District.

D. Change of officers

Since the beginning of the program various key managers for the program have been changed or rotated, particularly Local economic development (where is located the Civil Defense / DRM, changed four times), Planning and budget, Urban development and others.

Implications: • One manager shared obligations in other municipality, delaying decisions and activities. • Delay in progress of scheduled activities.

Steps taken: • Start over co-ordinations and sensitizing. • Reschedule activities.

E. Neighborhood organization

AID-OFDA-A-14-00025 Risk reduction in vulnerable areas 2017 ANNUAL PROGRAM PERFORMANCE REPORT of Independencia District, Lima Province 4

At the end of 2016, a situation arose in relation to the organization of A.H. Villa El Angel neighborhood. The election committee invalidated the election of the board of directors that gave continuity to the previous administration, with which the Program had maintained a good relationship. In a new election, won the group led by Mrs. Estela Wong, who adduces bad economic management of the previous administration. Thus, an anomalous situation arises in which two groups are confronted, with a judicial demand in between by the former group. Given this, since Ms. Wong's board of directors has been officially recognized by the Municipality of Independencia, the Program´s actions are coordinated with her. However, it is noted that its board of directors has little convening power in the neighborhood.

F. Works in Villa El Ángel:

DRR works continue under direct administration by PREDES. The risk reduction works at Villa El Ángel began in June 2017 and when local labor was selected, a problem arose with the local civil construction group, which has continually hindered the work by demanding payments or hiring individuals non suitable for the job. Upon the intervention of the president of the neighborhood and the local police station, a weekly rotating personnel hiring agreement was taken for local workers. This way of work produced the lengthening of the execution span of the works in Villa El Angel, because the local workers do not comply with their work quota (laziness, time breaks without authorization, etc.). At all times we tried to make this group understand, stressing that this work is done for the benefit of themselves. However, their demands go on for the economic side and extortion so as not to hinder the work.

4. EVALUATION OF INDICATORS BY SECTORS

Below is the evaluation of indicators, by sectors and subsectors. The progress has been assessed and the percentage of progress quantified according to the programmed target2.

SECTOR 1: NATURAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL RISKS

Sub Sector 1.1: Geological Hazards Local stakeholders: vulnerable population, authorities, and officials (men and women) know their risk issues and Result potential impacts, economic and social, as well as measures to reduce the risk.

The result of this sector was influenced by the lack of the technical studies by CISMID-UNI. Nevertheless, progress was made using available studies and “talking maps” through neighborhood workshops, which include a first approach to DRR possible measures. Also, printed information on the neighborhood´s hazard and vulnerability was handed lot by lot. Furthermore, a District risks and DRR measures forum was made with participation of Independencia District Platform of Civil Defense and neighborhood board members. CISMID-UNI finished their technical studies in December 2016 and publicly presented in a Forum held at CISMID on January 25, 2017.

SECTOR 2: RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY AND PRACTICE

Sub Sector 2.1 Building Community Awareness/Mobilization • Maintain high level of interest and mobilization around the topic by the population and local actors throughout the duration of the project. • Incorporate as many actors as possible to the process by involving them in training and dissemination Results activities.  Show the local community and external area the project progress in order to promote its response and to know other experiences that could feed back the project. a) The implementation of Program´s Communication Plan started with October 13th International DRR Day and El Niño Phenomenon awareness campaign (Stand posters´ designs, voice and video spots: http://www.perusinriesgodedesastres.com/noticias-2015/videos-y-audios-fen%C3%B3meno-el- ni%C3%B1o-creditos-libres/ ). These messages caught the interest of Maestro stores (building materials´ chain store) and were also disseminated through its Facebook fan page with high success and this led afterwards to the production of a series of video tips and tutorials with program´s advice and participation. 2016´s El Niño Phenomenon reached Peru with lower intensity than initially estimated. b) Community Awareness/Mobilization joint activities with the Municipality of Independence District - MID included in work plans of the Working Group on Disaster Risk Management (WG-DRM) and District Platform of Civil Defense (DPCD). Informative fair October 13th International DRR Day.

One year afterwards, on 16 February 2017, CENEPRED followed the same fate and PCM´s DRM secretariat was dissolved. This meant a setback for the implementation of the SINAGERD´s law, since Ministry of Defense would emphasize reactive management versus preventive and reductive managements.

 With the Manager of Local Economic Development, where is located the disaster risk management area. Its manager changed four times so far. A inducement process started for each change.  With other officers: depending on the connection with the implementation of planned activities.

7.2 With the neighbors A distinct relationship with each neighborhood has been established:  In El Volante II and III work is done through the afforestation initiative, as a way to reduce risk and illegal urban expansion, as well as having safe areas.  In Villa El Angel, the work is aimed at the vulnerability conditions, the level of high risk to earthquakes and improvement of public spaces. Beginning 2017 a problem arose: a supposedly elected Directive Committee was disavowed by the electoral committee and new elections chose a group that is not as recognized as the former one. Calls for workshops are having fewer participants.

8. GENERAL ASPECTS
