The factsheet “Enhancing Disaster Risk Management through a Multi-sectoral Approach: Recommendations for Local Governments by Local Governments” shares insights on factors that are important for disaster risk reduction strategies in urban areas and formulates eight recommendations for the involvement of different sectors in the disaster risk management of African cities. These recommendations are illustrated by good practices from urban resilience activities in Homa Bay County, Kenya, and Kampala, Uganda.
The good practices and peer exchanges shared in this factsheet are based on the workshop “Leading the Way: Disaster Risk Reduction Training for Local Government Champions” (March 2024 in Nairobi, Kenya) conducted by GIZ regional project Resilience Initiative Africa (RIA) and is also available in Plain English, French and Plain French.
