Summary
In June 2023, the World Food Programme (WFP) undertook a critical initiative in Cameroon, executing a comprehensive assessment to identify the technical and institutional needs and gaps within the disaster risk reduction and management frameworks. This effort, inspired by the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR), now rebranded as the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR), advocates for people-centric early warning systems aimed at elevating the nation's capacity to anticipate, respond to, and mitigate the devastating impacts of climate-induced disasters. The assessment was strategically framed around the four foundational elements of a people-centric early warning system, emphasizing the significance of inclusivity and accessibility in disaster preparedness and response mechanisms.
