This seeks to integrate community-based disaster risk management projects into good city governance. It has helped city officials re-engage with urban communities and provided training on disaster risk management — bridging the gap between high-level officials and local communities. An Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation workshop on PPPs and disaster resilience in 2010 pointed out that the private sector has much to offer in terms of resources and expertise and essential services. Community members contributed money and labour as well as their knowledge and expertise on which projects would be most effective.51 The exercise resulted in the construction of emergency evacuation routes, elevated roads and more bridges. A local NGO Yayasan Pikul in 2005 started working with rural farmers on a community-based disaster risk management initiative in Sikka district.
