THE IMPACT OF DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENT ON THE
DEVELOPMENT OF SMALL SCALE BUSINESS IN NIGERIA
Abstract
The study
examines the impact of disaster Risk Management on the development of small
scale business in Northern Nigeria. The research questions that guided this
study were: How effective is disaster risk management on local institutions in
Northern Nigerian? What is the implication of mitigating disaster risk on small
scale business in Northern Nigeria? How
do Northern states access funds to manage risk associated with disaster? How
does policy and operational support at state and federal level affect disaster
risk management in Northern Nigeria? The survey method was used as the research
design. The entire population of 35 person from NEMA and SEMA in five northern
state with a population of 200 persons . A questionnaire design in five likert
scale was used as the instrument of data collection. The mean (x) was used to
analyze data. The result of findings indicates that The effectiveness of
disaster risk management in Northern Nigeria is seen from the efficiency
of NEMA
in Northern Nigeria, as well as the effectiveness of state
government Disaster Risk prevention and
monitoring in Northern Nigeria,
Ecological Fund allocated to Northern states are not effectively managed. Funds are assessed to
manage risk associated with disaster through Disaster risk mitigation trust
Fund managed by state through formal
institutional structure, Fund raising and Ecological fund accessed from
federal government, Bilateral and multilateral assistance at international
level as well as accessing the global environmental facility fund of world
bank.
CHAPTER
ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background to the study
There are
evidence to suggest that in many countries there has been an increase in the
rise of natural disasters occurring – natural hazard rise – due to
environmental degradation (World Bank 2002). Natural disasters are complex and
multifaceted events resulting from mismanaged and unmanaged risks that reflect
current condition and historical factors (Alexander 2000). Disaster risk is
collective in its origin and remain a ‘public,’ shared risk that makes finding
individual, and often community solutions, difficult (comfort 1999). A disaster
is said to take place precisely because the losses originated by a given event
overwhelm the capacity of a population (local, regional or national) to respond
and recover from it. Disaster rise emerges from the interaction between a
natural hazard – the external risk factor – and vulnerability – the internal
risk factor (Cardona 2001).
International
consciousness rising about integrated disaster risk management (of which
disaster risk mitigation is a part) was given a boost by the recently concluded
United Nations International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction.
Similarly,
The Nigerian Disaster Management Act (Act 57 of 2002) heralds a new era as far
as the way in which disaster risk, hazards and vulnerability will be perceived
in Nigerian in the future. As one of the finest pieces of legislation ever
promulgated in Nigerian, the right into the backyard of each and every state
and local municipality, as well as all the organs of the state and entities in
the public sector.
It
calls for the establishment of structures, frameworks, plans, procedures, and
strategies that cut across all government sectors. It introduces a new way of
managing the complex and perilous society in which we find ourselves. It
further gives the responsibility of managing disaster risks to the highest
political authority in each sphere of government.
The
cornerstone of successful and effective disaster risk management is the
integration and coordination of the entire role – players and their activities
into a holistic system aimed at disaster risk reduction. Disaster risk
reduction in Nigerian consists of a variety of crosscutting facts requiring the
participation of a host of sectors and disciplines, not only from within the
spheres of government (Federal State and Local), but involving the private
sector, civil society, Non-Governmental Organization (NGOs), Community-Based
Organizations (CBOs), Research Institutions, and Institution of higher Learning,
to name but a few. In the context of disaster risk management, none of these
role-players can act in isolation from the other.
Disaster
Risk Management in Nigeria has been established as a public sector function within
each sphere of government. But disaster risk management goes beyond pure line
function responsibility. Disaster Management Act (Act 57 of 2002) as an
integrated, multi-sectoral, multi-disciplinary approach aimed at reducing the
risks associated with hazards and vulnerability. It therefore needs to become
an integral part of the development planning.
Process
in order to be successful. For this reason disaster risk management plans form
an integral part of the Integrated Development Plan of each of this state. In
the light of this the budgeting process within the state government sphere in
Nigeria, aiming at sustainable development within state government, the direct
like with disaster risk management is undeniable of strategic importance.
Development planning should therefore be assessed according to its contribution
towards either risk reduction or disaster risk augmentation.
Unfortunately,
the current policy and legislation do not provide adequate guidance to state
government in terms of funding arrangements for disaster reduction, response
and recovery. Various funds and funding mechanisms are available; this leads to
a consideration amount of confusion. The need to consolidate all disaster
reduction and response-related funding into one funding pool is well known and
has been already discussed within the disaster management fraternity.
Although this
would be the ideal situation, it is not realistic to assume that an
all-inclusive fund would be in any way possible given the public financial
infrastructure of Nigeria. It is against this background that this research is
triggered and search light is put to northern Nigeria sequent to the current
security challenges and flood that have brought untold hardship to people in
the North.
1.2 Statement of problem
The act
establishing the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) of Nigeria makes
specific provision for the funding of post-disaster recovery and rehabilitation
as well as requiring that a disaster management plan should be prepared for a
specific state and should form an integral
part of the state’s overall integrated
development plan, such a disaster management plan must indicate measures to
reduce the vulnerability of disaster
prone areas, communities and households, as well as the appropriate strategies
for prevention and mitigation.
But
inspite of this provision, disaster risk management in Nigeria has being
characterized with inefficiency arising from mismanagement or unmanaged
mitigation as well as post emergency situations. This is owing to unclear
processes for accessing funds to manage disaster by states and local
government, especially when such funds is to be provided by the federal
government. Other problems include corruption and mismanagement of fund
provided by donor agencies as well as the inability to mitigate disaster risk
by other private institutions.
Notwithstanding
states in Nigeria, especially Northern state experience difficulties in making
fund available for establishing and
maintaining the disaster risk management arising from the on-going security
challenges in Northern Nigeria. In order to address the problem a number of
questions need to be answered.
It is against
this, that the subject matter: The impact of disaster risk management on socio
economic development of Nigeria: A case study of small scale businesses in the
Northern part of Nigeria becomes an empirical problem worthy of being
investigated.
1.3 Research Questions
The research question below guided this studies:
1. How effective
is disaster risk management on local institutions in Northern Nigerian?
2. What
are the implication of mitigating disaster risk on small scale business in
Northern Nigeria.
3. How do
Northern states access funds to manage risk associated with disaster?
4. How
does policy and operational support at state and federal level affect disaster risk
management in Northern Nigeria?
The
answer to the above-mentioned questions will determine the gap that exists
between disaster risk management and socio-economic development in Northern
Nigeria,which this studies focuses
1.4 Objectives of the Study

1.6 Significance of the Study
The
study may be beneficial to policy makers in both federal and state government
level. Local institutions non government organization, corporate organization
as well as scholars and the general public will find this research really
significant.
To
policy makers in the federal and state level, this study can be used as a basis
for formulating policy frame work as regard disaster management.
Local
institutions, non governmental organization as well as corporate organizations
will find this work really useful in their operations in areas of social
responsibility, be a spring board to undertake further research and will also
be a good reference materials for student who may wish to use the research
report. The study may also add to the existing knowledge on the impact of
Disaster Management on the socio economic development of Nigeria.
1.7 Scope of the study
The
study covers an examination of the impact of disaster management on the development
of small scale businesses in Nigeria. As such the boundary of this study is
limited to an investigation of how effective disaster risk management is, and
its impact on local institutions in the north with emphasis on small scale
businesses. The time frame of this research covers a period from 2007 to 2011.
