About UNDRR
Description
The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) Regional Office for Africa, based in Nairobi, Kenya, is dedicated to enhancing disaster risk reduction (DRR) initiatives across 44 Member States in Sub-Saharan Africa. Working in partnership with the African Union Commission and various regional entities, UNDRR-Africa coordinates comprehensive strategies to build resilient communities and mitigate the effects of natural hazards.
The office plays a pivotal role in implementing the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, focusing on aspects such as risk assessment, early warning systems, and sustainable infrastructure development. Through initiatives like the Africa Working Group on Disaster Risk Reduction, UNDRR engages a broad range of stakeholders, including governments, civil society, and youth organizations, to promote collaboration and shared knowledge in DRR.
Additionally, UNDRR supports data collection and analysis, contributing to the development of substantial geographic information resources aimed at disaster preparedness and response in the region.
