• Background of the Project

UNDP is a member of the National Early Warning technical working group on National Disaster Management Policy overseen by a National Disaster Management Council embedded in the Office of the President. UNDP will be supporting the multi-stakeholder consultations at the national, state and community levels and provide technical and financial inputs which are expected to result into context specific policy framework, eventual legislation and effective programmes on disaster management and aspects of risk reduction, risk management, and early warning protocols. In this regard, UNDP will also together with national government, states, local communities, partner organisations and other stakeholders operationalize the Food Security, Emergency Flood Response and Recovery Project that is anticipated to further enhance the disaster risk reduction strategies and programs in the country.
