“…Hence, intergovernmental transfers are used to bridge the fiscal gap between a local government's own revenues and its expenditures. In the Philippines, transfers from the central government to local governments can be one of the following: 41 (1) Internal Revenue Allotments (IRA), which are formula-based unconditional fiscal transfers directly distributed from the national government to each local government unit; (2) Congressional allocation, which is allocated to devolved functions in the form of programs and projects;…”

<div><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left"><tbody><tr><td align="left" valign="top"><p>This research aims to understand, analyze, and detail the experience of fiscal decentralization in Indonesia and the Philippines. It explores the main challenges faced in implementing fiscal decentralization policies and valuable lessons that can guide other third countries planning to expand their local entities' fiscal authority. By comparing the experiences of the two, we can explore the similarities and differences in approaches and analyze their impact on economic development and local empowerment. The results show that decentralization in the Philippines is comprehensive and has one of Southeast Asia's most substantial legal bases. Moreover, each tier or each type of local government has a rather direct relation to the central government, especially in fiscal relationships, and is relatively independent compared to other countries in the region.</p></td></tr></tbody></table></div>

It is widely recognized that investment is crucial to mitigating disaster damage and adapting to the effects of climate change. This point was emphasized in the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction and successive agreements on climate change. The preceding chapters of this book identified various issues that need to be resolved and proposed policies and approaches accordingly. This chapter synthesizes the major findings and proposes innovative approaches to attain sustainable progress toward a resilient future in the Asian region. There are research gaps in many areas of investment in disaster risk reduction. There is a need to develop the estimating methods and the database of investments. The activities that constitute disaster management phases need to be well-coordinated and further developed. The trend in the increasingly adverse allocation of investment between ex-ante before disaster occurrence and response and recovery following disasters needs to be reversed. Since policy- and decision-makers must justify the allocation of budget among various priority activities, the methods to analyze the benefits of disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation need to be improved. To overcome the paucity of finance, further research should be aimed at developing innovative approaches, such as green infrastructure, partnerships with the private sector, and burden-sharing mechanisms.
