The Africa Youth Advisory Board on Disaster Risks Reduction (AfYAB DRR) is envisioned to be an inclusive, open, and transparent platform for African youth to engage in regional DRR policy design, implementation, follow up and review.
It strives to create and nurture a network between African youth, youth-led and focused organizations with decision-makers in order to reinforce AUC’s mission of meaningful engagement of young people in sensitizing communities on DRR. The four focus areas of the Youth Advisory board and its regional representation reflects the PoA vision of implementation of the four priority areas of the Sendai Framework in Africa.
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.
