Delta Alliance is an international knowledge-driven network organisation with the mission of improving the resilience of the world’s deltas. With increasing pressure from population growth, industrialisation and a changing climate, it is more important than ever that these valuable and vulnerable locations increase their resilience to changing conditions. The Delta Alliance brings people together who live and work in deltas. They can benefit from each other’s experience and expertise and as such contribute to an increased resilience of their delta region.
Delta Alliance has 18 network wings in 15 countries where activities are focussed: Parana (Argentina), Ganges-Brahmaputra (Bangladesh), Pantanal (Brazil), Yangtze and Yellow River (China), Nile (Egypt), Volta (Ghana), Ciliwung and Mahakam (Indonesia), Tana (Kenya), Zambezi (Mozambique), Ayeyarwady (Myanmar), Rhine-Meuse (the Netherlands), Ebro (Spain), Keelung, Lanyang, Choshuichi and Gaoping (Taiwan), California Bay and Mississippi (USA) and Mekong and Red River (Vietnam).
Additional network wings will be included in Delta Alliance as and when ready, and this will further contribute to the wealth of information available from and in these deltas.
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
