This report highlights the essential role of National Societies in Africa in reducing the risks of, and addressing the needs from, displacement in the context of disasters and climate change. The report showcases how locally led and collective action can help people to adapt, move to safer areas, and recover and rebuild with dignity

Through 30 case studies from 15 National Societies in Burkina Faso, Chad, Ethiopia, The Gambia, Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Mozambique, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Somalia, South Africa, South Sudan and Uganda, this report demonstrates how they are working with local communities and leading efforts to reduce risks, protect lives and support recovery. These examples of addressing displacement and strengthening resilience across Africa offer insights and inspiration for action.
