Technical guidance for monitoring and reporting on progress in achieving the global targets of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction.

This document is the output of the World Conference on Natural Disaster Reduction, held in Yokohama, Japan, from 23 May to 27 May 1994. It provides guidelines for natural disaster prevention, preparedness and mitigation.

These Words into Action guidelines offers practical guidance and good practice examples for aligning a national disaster risk reduction strategy with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030.

Risk-informed development allows for development to become a vehicle to reduce risk, avoid creating risks and build resilience. Only resilient development can become sustainable development; sustainable development initiatives will fail unless they are risk-informed. Risk, resilience and sustainability knowledge and actions need to go hand-in-hand.

The purpose of this note is to support Member States in the operationalization of the global indicators to measure progress towards the achievement of the global targets of the Sendai Framework and relevant targets of the Sustainable Development Goals.

The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 was adopted by UN Member States on 18 March 2015 at the Third UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction in Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan.

The Sendai Framework is the first major agreement of the post-2015 development agenda, with seven targets and four priorities for action.

These easy look-up charts outline the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030.

The aim of the Report is to comprehensively report on the implementation of the Programme of Action for the implementation of the Sendai Framework 2015-2030 and the Africa Strategy for Disaster Risk Reduction. This report focusses on all of the Member States of the Africa Union.

The objective is to use the outcome of the report to:

The Plan of Action (PoA) is the strategic plan for the implementation of the Sendai Framework in Africa. It is intended to provide guidance and direction for actions by all at the continental, regional, national and sub-national/local levels in Africa to prevent and reduce the risk of disasters for resilience in line with the Sendai Framework.

The African Risk Capacity (ARC) Strategic Framework for 2016-2020 outlines ARC’s vision, mission, and overarching strategic objectives for the coming five years. This framework sets out areas of thematic focus and the principles of engagement.
