One innovative approach piloted in Peru under the global UNDP-DHL ‘Get Airports Ready for Disaster’ (GARD) programme is worth mentioning. GARD is a global programme, running since 2005, which aims to prepare airports for the logistical challenges posed by natural disasters and their aftermath, through capacity-building and technical assistance to carry out airport assessments and develop action plans to increase capacity to handle surges in incoming traffic in the wake of a disaster.99 In Peru, this programme was implemented in three airports (Pisco, Chiclayo and Lima) and one air force base in Lima, and included coordination mechanisms for INDECI and the Ministry of Transport.100 GARD was implemented with an integrated view, considering the network of airports in the country and other transport infrastructure such as ports, and the airport action plans were integrated into the national disaster preparedness plan.101 This innovative approach increased national capacity to respond to the logistical challenges of humanitarian crises.102 Interviewees recognized the GARD programme as a productive partnership with the private sector, namely DHL and the private companies that manage the airports in Peru.
2.2 Social protection and quality basic services A total of 13 projects with 13 project outputs were implemented under this outcome, with a budget of $49.6 million and expenditure of $32.7 million (23 percent of total programme expenditure), reaching a 66 percent execution rate.103 This portfolio was mostly nationally implemented, with seven projects (96 percent of expenditure) that used NIM and six projects (4 percent of expenditure) directly implemented. This portfolio has largely been funded by the Ministry of Development and Social Inclusion (MIDIS) (55 percent of expenditure) followed by PRODUCE (41 percent of expenditure).
