Zambia’s Early Action Protocols: A Collaborative Journey
Zambia, significantly affected by climate change, faces the dual threats of floods and droughts. The Zambia Red Cross Society in close coordination with key stakeholders diligently addresses the needs of communities and works to reduce the risks that come with these climate disasters, including the spread of waterborne diseases and food insecurity. In close collaboration with the Zambia Red Cross Society, and funded through the Programmatic Partnership between the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) and the European Union, as well as the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre and the Netherlands Red Cross’ data and digital initiative, 510, embarked on a crucial project to address challenges faced while responding to droughts and floods in Zambia.
