Mission

The Intra-ACP Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) Programme, financed under the 11th European Development Fund (EDF), represents one of the European Union’s key cooperation instruments with the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS) in strengthening risk management and resilience to disasters.

DRR activities

Operating at an interregional scale across Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific, the Programme works through a network of 8 implementing partners, regional organisations and specialised technical institutions. This multi-partner approach supports complementary actions ranging from strengthening early warning systems and improving risk governance to integrating disaster risk reduction into national, sectoral policies and investment planning.

With its three specific objectives, the Programme seeks to:

  • Strengthen disaster risk governance: This means better management of disaster risks, ensuring that the right policies and frameworks are in place to protect people, communities, ecosystems and their livelihoods.
  • Increase investment in disaster risk reduction: Investing in resilient infrastructure and sustainable practices, can help communities withstand and recover from disasters more effectively.
  • Enhance disaster preparedness to ensure effective response and recovery: This includes 'Build Back Better' during recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction, creating stronger and safer communities.

Voluntary Commitments

The organization has no registered commitments.

The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
