Application of disaster loss data in support of early warning and early action in African countries (Implementation period of the current activities: December 2021 – March 2022) Background UNDRR supports Member States and DRR stakeholders at building Disaster Risk Reduction capacities in Africa, including for application of data to support Early Warning and Early Action (EWEA). [...] UNDRR focuses on the strengthening of continental, regional and national capacities for the collection and use of disaster loss data to inform the definition of thresholds and decision-making processes at the level of the African Union Commission (AUC), Regional Economic Communities (RECs) and in national situation/operation rooms. [...] Project description This project seeks to support DRR stakeholders in Malawi, Zambia, Mozambique and UR Tanzania, to increase the collection and application of disaster loss data and of risk information in the context of EWEA. [...] DLD = disaster loss data This project includes a range of activities and outputs linked to the different aspect of the disaster loss data- ecosystem to improve the applicability of EWEA in the four countries. [...] Several multi-country and country-specific workshops will be organised; these are meant to scope the project, to map out key stakeholders per country and the current state of disaster loss data demand and supply and to provide a space for exchange and peer-to-learning.
