There is no doubt that disasters in the recent past have become a major global concern and challenge. Increasing disasters are attributed to a number of factors, mainly of human origin, such as environmental degradation; rapid population increase with the subsequent exponential expansion of urban centers, and other related factors; all these lead to increased population vulnerabilities.
The trends of disasters are worrying in their nature, frequency, and severity. It is upon this premise that plans such as the Hyogo Framework of Action and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction were developed as a way of having collective and coordinated efforts to deal with the aforementioned challenges.
Thus, development partners, governments, and practitioners have rightly highlighted the need to prioritize mainstreaming DRR/CCA in their development and humanitarian interventions. IDEAL Public Health and Development Consultancy (IPHDC), in recognition of the capacity, and need for DRR and CCA in the development and humanitarian sector, has planned a five-day training aimed at program planners, decision-makers, and implementers.
Objectives
To equip learners with skills and improve their understanding of Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation (DRR & CCA) concepts with an aim to improve the quality of DRR & CCA programming so that development actions can ultimately lead to increased communities’ resilience to common hazards such as droughts, floods, etc.
