UNDP 2019-2023 Africa's Resilience and Disaster Risk Reduction - UNDP Africa's Resilience and Disaster Risk Reduction UNDP 2019-2023 Resilience and Disaster Risk Reduction in Africa Insatsen syftar till att bygga kapacitet hos AU och regionala organisationer i Sahel (ECOWAS, CILSS/AGRHYMET och LCBC) att operationalisera Sendairamverket för katastrofriskreducering samt Globala målens indikatorer och mål för katastrofriskreducering. 

Detta förväntas uppnås genom 1) Ökad kapacitet att följa och bevaka processerna kring Sendairamverket och AUs Program of Action Implementation genom förbättrad datainsamling, analys och system för rapportering; 2) Stärkta regionala ramverk för tillsyn, policy och budget för att möjliggöra användning av katastrofrisk- och klimatdata i utvecklingsplanering och budgetering; 3) Förstärkta regionala processer för återhämtning och klimatanpassning som adresserar faktorerna bakom klimatrelaterade katastrofer och återskapar möjliga vägar till hållbar utveckling i Sahelområdet; 4) Stärkt regional kapacitet för urban riskhantering i Västafrika; och 5) Innovation och ökad kunskap genom dialog och Syd-Syd samarbete. 

Planerade aktiviteter inkluderar utvärderingar som tar hänsyn till genus och konflikt, fallstudier, framtagning av riktlinjer, utbildningar, workshops, Syd-Syd samarbete och inrättande av en regional informationsplattform. Projektet kommer implementeras av UNDP RSCA i partnerskap med ECOWAS och andra regionala organisationer (CILSS/AGRHYMET, LCBC, Peri Peri Uni & WASCAL, AUC, UNISDR och UN Women). This contribution aims to build capacities of regional organizations in the Sahel (ECOWAS, CILSS/AGRHYMET and LCBC) and the African Union to strengthen the operationalization of the Sendai Framework for DRR, SDGs DRR targets and indicators.

This is expected to be achieved through 1) Increased capacity on tracking and monitoring progress on Sendai Framework and AU Program of Action implementation through enhanced data collection, analysis and reporting system; 2) Strengthened regional and multi-country regulatory, policy and budgetary frameworks for translating disaster and climate data into risk informed development planning and budgeting; 3) Enhanced regional recovery and resilience building processes that address underlying disaster and climate change risks and restore pathways to sustainable development in the Sahel Countries; 4) Enhanced Regional Capacities for Urban Risk Management in West Africa; and 5) Enhanced innovations and knowledge on risk informed development through Regional Dialogue and South-South exchange.

Planned activities include gender and conflict sensitive assessments, case studies, development or adoption of guidelines, trainings, workshops, south-south exchanges, and establishment of a regional information platform. The project will be directly implemented by UNDP RSCA in Partnership with ECOWAS and other regional organizations (CILSS/AGRHYMET, LCBC Peri Peri U & WASCAL), AUC, UNISDR and UN Women. The project "Strengthening capacities for disaster risk reduction and adaptation for Resilience in the Sahel Region: Fostering risk informed solutions for sustainable development main objective is that regional organizations (ECOWAS, CILSS/AGRHYMET, Peri Peri U & WASCAL, LCBC and AU) and national governments in the Sahel region have built capacities and have strengthened the operationalization of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction and the SDGs DRR targets and indicators. This will be conducted by institutionalized and domesticated risk-informed development planning, programming and investment for resilience building.
The geographical focus of the project is Western Sahel (Mauritania, Mali, Senegal, Niger, Chad, Burkina Faso and Nigeria).
This is expected to be achieved through
1) Increased capacity on tracking and monitoring progress on Sendai Framework and AU Program of Action implementation in the Sahel region through enhanced data collection, analysis and reporting system
2) Strengthened regional and multi-country regulatory, policy and budgetary frameworks for translating disaster and climate data into risk informed development
3) Enhanced regional recovery and resilience building processes that address underlying disaster and climate change risks and restore pathways to sustainable development in the Sahel Countries
4) Enhanced Regional Capacities for Urban Risk Management in Sahel and
5) Enhanced innovations and knowledge on risk informed development through Regional Dialogue and South- South exchange.
