The overall goal of the programme is to strengthen national capacities to prepare for, respond to and mitigate the humanitarian impact of emergencies on already vulnerable populations in the country. This is in accordance with the 10-year National Master Plan for Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR). The programme aims to strengthen institutional frameworks and systems for preparedness, response and disaster risk reduction at national, provincial, district and community levels within an overall vulnerability reduction perspective. In addition to the delivery of capacity building activities and the implementation of participatory projects at community level, the programme will support the Government in mainstreaming disaster management issues, developing plans and policies, and promoting inter-sectoral dialogues.
