Fiji: National disaster risk reduction policy 2018-2030

The policy is a key part of Fiji’s ambition for accelerated integrated and inclusive sustainable development. Disaster risk reduction is a top priority for Fiji and would be mainstreamed into all policies, plans and practice. Investment in disaster risk reduction measures enhances the resilience of communities. It also saves the government millions of dollars.

Fiji’s National Disaster Risk Reduction Policy, which is aligned with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, represents a major contribution to the achievement of Target (e) of the Sendai Framework which seeks a substantial increase in the number of countries with national and local disaster risk reduction strategies by 2020.
