Since July 2023, in partnership with the European Commission's INFORM Risk Index, MapAction is working to support national and subnational disaster managers to update or rebuild their disaster forecasts, mitigating tools and risk atlases.

The objective of this disaster risk finance (DRF) diagnostic is to assess the status of financial preparedness of Eswatini to disasters and crises.

This seismic risk profile of Eswatini, produced by the Global Earthquake Model (GEM) Foundation summarizes key metrics of seismic risk, allowing stakeholders in risk management to get an overview of the risk in the country.

A project for a water resources early warning system in the Inkomati Basin, which is shared by South Africa with Mozambique and Eswatini, was announced today as the winner of the 2023 RISK Award.

This study investigated whether DRR is adequately funded within SADC member states in light of the high stakes in human life, infrastructure, and economic losses and the potential savings involved.

This briefing note explores the value of Traditional and Indigenous Knowledge in helping communities forecast weather and climate, identify and manage changes in seasons and weather, and develop responses to climatic variability and climate change.

The INFORM subnational risk index shows a detailed picture of risk and its dimensions – hazard and exposure, vulnerability, and coping capacity – that is comparable across a single region and/or country.

This briefing note presents case studies, key findings, and recommendations based on the climate change outreach programme. Eswatini communities are vulnerable to climate change, which is further exacerbated by the socio-economic status of many households
