East Africa Forum on Local Perspectives on Disaster Risk Reduction

Content:

To influence policy dialogue and advance the Africa risk reduction agenda with local perspectives, ProVention held three forums in Dakar, Johannesburg, and Nairobi in November and December 2006. The East Africa forum was hosted by ActionAid on 6-7 December 2006 in Nairobi, Kenya. Some 30 participants reflected on the major hazards in the region and defined key factors determining the success or failure of disaster risk reduction projects and community based development projects in general. Participants stressed the role of disaster risk reduction as a crucial element to sustain development achievements and to avoid further conflict on scarce resources. Participants proposed building upon a blend of indigenous knowledge and formal research findings in a participatory process involving all stakeholders as the best way forward for reducing risks at local level.
