CHILDREN SAVING ENVIRONMENT

AFRI EDUCARE ALLIANCE

Afri Educare Alliance seeks to ensure that children’s needs and capacities are considered in how people mitigate risk, prepare for, react to and recover from disasters and adapt to long-term trends. We will work to make this happen at all levels by building partnerships and collaborating with children, communities, civil society, local and national governments, and regional and international organizations. Governments as primary duty bearers have the main responsibility for the implementation of the post 2015 DRR framework, and we will support them in it. Afri Educare Alliance seeks to integrate risk reduction and resilience building into sector based programming “full spectrum”; meaning that it is considered in both development and humanitarian contexts. It is crucial that we reduce risk where we can. When this is not possible, it is crucial that we build resilience in high-risk areas before disaster strikes, so that the communities we work with are better able to manage the challenges during crises and recover quickly through a child centered approach.
