Assessment report on mainstreaming and implementing disaster risk reduction measures in Southern Africa

Abstract

This assessment report on mainstreaming and implementing disaster risk reduction in Southern Africa was prepared within the framework of the United Nations development account project on mainstreaming disaster risk reduction in national and regional development strategies in support of efforts to meet the Millennium Development Goals and achieve sustainable development goals in Africa. This report provided input to the preparation of the Africa regional assessment report. It also served as a key resource for the sub-regional disaster risk reduction capacity development workshop, which, among others, showcased and promoted good practices to scale up both mainstreaming and implementation of disaster risk reduction measures as part of development frameworks.
