This project aims to improve the resilience of vulnerable populations, including women and children, to climate shocks in Africa. Project activities include: (1) developing tools and disseminating guidelines on gender equality in disaster risk management; (2) providing support to the African Risk Capacity (ARC) member states for monitoring and reporting on the implementation of disaster response, including gender activities and gender-disaggregated data; and (3) providing technical assistance to national experts to establish a network of trainers on gender in disaster risk management. The project seeks to support the ARC to expand beyond the current member countries to reach all 55 African Union (AU) member countries.
