Survey on the regional implementation of the Sendai Framework Science Technology Roadmap

The purpose of this survey is to track the progress of the Asia and Pacific regional implementation of the Sendai Framework Science Technology Roadmap from a wide range of stakeholders. The analyses of the survey will be presented at the 2020 Asia Pacific Science and Technology Conference for Disaster Risk Reduction on 16-17 March 2020, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Additionally, we will make the results available through the APSTAAG website.

The below survey consists of 2 sections: (I) General Information (II) Regional Implementation of Actions.

The estimated time for completing the survey is approximately 15-20 minutes.
