Policies, Plans & Strategies
The existing mechanisms for disaster management are inadequate in respect to mitigation, preparedness and recovery aspect. It is through this fact that the disaster management policy is seen as necessary to create effectiveness and efficient disaster management in the country as well as systematically support the global and regional initiatives to curb disaster impact to vulnerable groups.
The thrust of this policy is to develop adequate capacity for coordination and cooperation for comprehensive disaster management among key players at all levels through mainstreaming disaster management activities as an integral part of development programs in all sectors.
