In the past decade, the frequency and magnitude of hazards that trigger disasters have increased globally. While Africa may not be the most disaster-prone continent, it is the worst affected by hazards that cause a greater impact on the lives and livelihoods of people. Inadequately-prepared African governments and their development partners tend to focus more on emergency relief. While this addresses the short-term needs of populations affected by disasters, it fails to enable them to build resilience and adapt to climate change. The emergency relief approach heightens the aid-dependency syndrome and impedes the ability of local communities and organizations to release their own potential to manage disasters. IIRR Africa’s regional DRR strategy identifies the most effective way to reduce the risk following disaster is to work with local people to identify and analyze their vulnerabilities and capacities and to develop an action plan that will be effective and sustainable in their context.
