Project ID 2210212121

The provisions of the Africa Programme of Action adopted by the African Union Heads of State and Government for the implementation of the Sendai Framework recognize the need to establish youth platforms for meaningful youth engagement in disaster risk reduction (DRR) policy development. At present, it is unclear to what extent these youth platforms have been established and their participation in DRR policy development processes. In addition, most Eastern African countries have developed country-based DRR policies aimed at minimizing the impacts of disasters in line with the Sendai Framework. It is however unclear to what extent these DRR initiatives consider gender and social inclusion. This activity aims to enable youth engagement and strengthen gender transformative policies in DRR.
