Short summary
This paper evaluates decentralization of disaster risk reduction in Indonesia, chosen for its recent actions to decentralize governance of DRR coupled with a high level of disaster risk.

An analytical framework was developed to evaluate decentralized disaster risk reduction. A desk study, interviews and a gap analysis were used. Key barriers to implementation in Indonesia included capacity gaps at lower institutional levels, low compliance with legislation and inadequate resourcing.
