Disaster and Climate Risk Reduction


Project description
This project aims at assessing the national and local institutions'
capacities to deal with disaster and climate risks, by identifying gaps and making recommendations to be included into the national climate risk management strategies and programmes.

Objectives
The overall objective of this project is to reduce disaster and climate risks in the country.


Results
It is expected that thanks to this project, the national and local institutions’capacities to deal with disaster and climate risks will be strengthened.

A comprehensive Disaster Risk Assessment will be undertaken to
identify all existing gaps. Based on that priorities and recommendations will be included into the national climate risk management strategies and programmes.

Also, a web-based software application and disaster risk maps will be
developed. In parallel, a series of actions will be taken at local level to reduce vulnerabilities and strengthen the capacities of municipalities in the country to better manage disaster and climate risks.Disaster and climate risk management plans will be developed for a set of selected high risk municipalities.

Small scale demonstration projects and pilot measures will be carried
out to show the advantages of having better prepared municipalities.

Also, a series of public awareness, advocacy and educational campains
will be carried out country-wide.
