Connecting the Dots: Strategic Alignment for Early Warning Systems in Africa
This programme is aligned with regional, continental and global frameworks, including Regional Economic Communities (RECs) strategies, the African Union’s Agenda 2063, the African Multi-hazard Early Warning and Early Action System (AMHEWAS) Program, the Sendai Framework for DRR (2015-2030), and the Paris Agreement. This Accelerated support is also aligned with the Integrated African Strategy on Meteorology (2021-2030) and Early Warnings for All Africa Action Plan 2023-2027 both call for sustainable strengthening of institutional capacities for entities involved in early warning services (in priority meteorological, hydrological, food security, health and civil protection). By strengthening the institutional capacity of the NMHSs, it would ensure more optimal use of the resources available from other projects. These alignments will reinforce a unified commitment to sustainably strengthening institutional capacities for effective early warning services across Africa.
