Description
Multi-sectoral National Platforms for Disaster Risk Reduction (NPs) have been recommended as a multi-stakeholder coordination mechanism to reduce risks and build resilience of communities in several UN General Assembly resolutions and the HFA. 50 countries have informed the UNISDR Secretariat of the setting up of their National Platform. The Global meeting of National Platforms aims to 1) Provide a forum for NPs and HFA focal points to share information and knowledge in coordinating national initiatives for DRR, 2) Discuss challenges and priority actions for NPs, including suggestions for ISDR partner support, 3) Adopt a common position on NPs with recommendations by National Platforms to be communicated to the Global Platform’s Informal Plenary and 4) Share existing tools and services made available by ISDR partners for National Platforms.
