Egypt: National strategy for disaster risk reduction 2030
Egypt is implementing the Sendai fFramework through national activities and actively participates in the process of formulating progress indicators, which are being discussed through the Open-ended Intergovernmental Expert Working Group on Indicators and Terminology relating to DRR.
The Egyptian National Platform for DRR has developed a roadmap that aims to provide guidance and highlight a number of areas of focus to implement the Sendai Framework emerging from the review of HFA implementation. The roadmap takes into consideration what has been achieved and aims to complement what are planned within the Egyptian Sustainable Development Strategy "Egypt's vision 2030".
In this context, the Egyptian National Platform for DRR has completed reviewing and updating the National Strategy for DRR, taking into account the Sendai Framework’s innovative elements and considerations, through incorporation of the Disaster Risk Management concept, which aims to reduce the damage through the combination of prevention, mitigation and preparedness with response.
