UNDP Assistant Secretary General (ASG) Ms. Izumi Nakamitsu has said unless development is risk informed, it will not be sustainable.

Ms. Nakamitsu said this on March 23rd during his visit to Malawi after attending the Third World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction (WCDRR) in Sendai, Japan which was also attended by Malawian delegates.

She said countries need to make investments before disaster hits to minimise consequences of the disaster.

Watch video below to get more insights from the ASG, Malawi Minister of Foreign Affairs Dr. George Chaponda, UNDP Malawi Disaster Risk Reduction Programme Analyst Ms. Tapona Manjolo and Malawi Department of Disaster Management Affairs (DoDMA) Director Mr. James Chiusia on the WCDRR.
