Gambia makes positive strides in achieving HFA priorities, says Environment Minister

Pa Ousman Jarju, Minister of Environment, Climate Change, Water and Wildlife, has said The Gambia has made positive strides in the achievement of the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) priorities.

“Post-disaster disease outbreaks also pose threats to achievements in the health sector, and other challenges include inadequate capacity in disaster risk management,” Jarju said when delivering a speech at the Third UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) held recently in Sendia, Japan.
