Reflections on the GIAN Experience in the Context of a Case Study on Disaster Risk Reduction in Northern Pakistan By Karen Sudmeier-Rieux 1 Disaster Risk, Livelihoods and Natural Barriers : Strengthening Decision-making Tools for Disaster Risk Reduction A Comparative Case Study from Northern Pakistan (Small Grant) Coordinator : Karen Sudmeier-Rieux 1. Karen Sudmeier-Rieux is co-author of Ecosystems, Livelihoods and Disasters, An Integrated Approach to Disaster Risk Management, IUCN Gland 2006 and PhD candidate at the Institute of Geomatics and Risk Analysis of the University of Lausanne. 113
V – Eclairages | Témoignage Our project grew out of an evolving collaboration between partners at the World Conservation Union in Gland (IUCN), the Graduate Institute of Development Studies (IUED) and the University of Lausanne. I had just finished co-authoring a publication on ecosystems and natural disasters together with IUCN’s ecosystem management programme, where we made the case for integrating development, environment and disaster risk reduction for prevention and post-disaster situations. In searching for expertise on the matter, I renewed my contact with IUED where I had studied years ago. Professor Ronald Jaubert, who worked on risk and natural resources management, was interested and agreed to participate in a project on risk reduction strategies in landslide-prone regions 2 . One contact led to another and soon we had garnered synergies from the Global Resource Information Database (GRID), Europe’s Division of Early Warning and Assessment of the United Nations Environment Programme. Pascal Peduzzi, a remote sensing expert at UNEP, joined the team and Professor Michel Jaboyedoff, from the University of Lausanne’s Institute of Geomatics and Risk Assessment, added his expertise in risk assessment and landslides. Having gathered this dynamic team, the final impetus came from IUCN- Pakistan where the interest in conducting a study on land use factors and landslides was keen. After the devastating Kashmir earthquake in 2005, a new programme to work on sustainable development was being developed in Azad and Jammu Kashmir (AJK) and our study was welcomed as the first programme activity there. The interdisciplinary nature of the project came naturally as we were to study geological features of landslides, natural and human induced factors leading to the landslides and local knowledge, perceptions and strategies for reducing risk due to landslides. After managing to squeeze in our proposal before the summer deadline for small grants in June 2006, we were delighted to receive a “Small Grant” from the GIAN for close to the full maximum amount of SFr 50,000 for our project : Disaster Risk, Livelihoods and Natural Barriers : Strengthening Decision-making Tools for Disaster Risk Reduction - A Comparative Case Study from Northern Pakistan. The funds were quickly made available and soon I was off to Islamabad to meet with the host organisation at IUCN- Pakistan to assess information needs and meet with stakeholders. After the initial enthusiasm at receiving the grant, I was soon brought back to the harsh realities of implementing a research project. I was told by IUCN-Pakistan that the objectives seemed very ambitious compared to the amount of money I was bringing to the table, especially considering the GIAN directives against funding any overhead. The message was to pare down the objectives, find additional funding, or both. The second message was against conducting research, taking home the results and not returning the findings locally where they can make an impact. This piece of advice was based on too many Western researchers using developing countries as laboratories for their own career advancement without returning the benefits of the research for practical use. These two messages left a strong impression on me : value the investment in time and resources of the host organisation and ensure that the research makes an impact in the host country. However, my newly acquired lessons created some friction during the GIAN project : my interim report was viewed by the GIAN as being too locally specific without sufficient international implications. It could well be that the interim report was more a reflection of the realities of field research than on the more generalisable findings that I had outlined in our proposal 3 . This criticism did help me write a more effective final report, bringing out not only the findings based on our locally-specific research, but also how our findings could be used in other disaster-prone mountainous areas. I was perhaps more willing to accept this criticism than some of the project partners who were offended by the idea that their work was not “international” enough. Research on connections between social systems and environmental issues, such as our research, must be locally specific. Ethically, I believe that research should also bring benefits to local actors through the sharing of findings, or technical training, especially when a region is still recuperating from a humanitarian disaster. 114 2. See the GIAN-supported project Negotiating Conflicts of Interest Related to Water Management, coordinated by Ronald Jaubert. 3. Editor’s note : One of the GIAN’s criteria for selection of projects was that research results have an “international application”. Even in projects that were “local à l’étranger” the GIAN required generalisable conclusions.
