Disaster Risk Reduction & Climate Change

The communities in this region have for a long time come under serious threats from shocks that led to livelihood disruptions. These communities have lived in this environment for decades and have coped with varying degrees of shocks. However, some of the coping strategies have long been abandoned while others simply cannot work anymore
This is because the human and climate change induced shocks have become more frequent and destructive. RAPCO will put in place community managed disaster risk reduction (CMDRR) program that ensures that our programs and activities are informed by the outcome of the CMDRR and proper mitigation measures put in place for a climate resilient and sustainable communities. Through CMDRR, RAPCO will put in place early warning systems (EWS) covering weather information, livestock and human diseases and conflicts in the cross-border areas
