Why?
Proposed DRM Support to Southern Africa Cluster
The proposed support will focus on strengthening the IFRC and NSs Disaster Risk Management capacities in southern Africa, drawing lessons from the current Tropical Idai Cyclone operation in Mozambique. The Red Cross operation in Mozambique presents a good opportunity that the Red Cross can use to improve its mechanisms for preparedness and response to future events. The preparedness plan for southern Africa will also be linked very closely with the experience of preparedness before the cyclone in Mozambique, which includes but not limited to having Contingency Plans in place, Standard Operating procedures, prepositioning of Non Food Items, prepositioning of people and linkages to other National societies in the region and the Movement components.
