Resumen
Descripción
This toolkit contains practical guidelines for disaster risk reduction (DRR) implementers to plan multi-sectorial DRR interventions for southern Africa. The guidelines are based on knowledge gained by COOPI, FAO, OCHA, and UN-Habitat through field experience in information management, mobile health, food and nutrition security, agriculture, adapted architecture and early warning systems. Building resilience requires a multi-sectorial approach, and we believe that the practices included in this t oolkit can significantly contribute to improve the lives of hazard-prone communities in southern Africa. The toolkit has been coordinated by FAO’s sub-regional DRR Office for southern Africa (REOSA), and was made possible with funds from the Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection of the European Commission (ECHO).
