A global review on the current status of Institutional and Legislative Systems for landslide mitigation and risk reduction management has revealed that countries go through time-consuming processes to create and update policies, legislations and strategies. As such, the concept of a template for policy and institutional framework, as well as subsequent transformation to a National Slope Master Plan has been recommended. The template will serve as a blueprint to generate political commitment, which will enable the allocation of resources from the main stakeholders both in terms of manpower and budget. This will then facilitate the setting-up of a lead organisation or agency to ensure good governance to champion landslide mitigation and risk reduction. With a proper budget for the lead organisation, they can recruit the best candidates with attractive remuneration and sustainable career path for the efficient implementation of the National Slope Master Plan.
In addition, the template for this Master Plan will streamline the preparation of a local legal and regulatory framework, etc. to secure resources and provide best practices from lessons learned locally and internationally. The involvement and technical support of international agencies like ICL will expedite the development of reference knowledge kits and guidelines for adoption and adaptation. This will also assist other countries in need of support, especially those from developing and under-developed countries.
