  • Analyse the interconnection between the different disaster risks African countries are facing (concurrent and cascading risks) which lead to the need for a multi-risk and systemic approach for building resilience. This is also to understand the cascading risks derived from COVID-19 through examples in the region.
  • Analyse the main issues related to the management and coordination of the COVID-19 response. This includes highlighting the discrepancies between the existing frameworks (when they exist) for disaster management and the sometimes ad-hoc mechanisms set-up to respond to COVID-19.
  • Analyse the positive and/or negative outcomes that such discrepancies could have caused and what does this mean for the DRM governance frameworks in a long-term perspective. It is also to understand how and if information flows, early warning systems, disaster risk financing mechanisms (when they exist) worked for this very specific disaster which had tremendous cascading effects on sectors.
  • Analyse how COVID-19 crisis could have impacted the DRR cross-cutting sector in terms of diversion of resources, additional resources needed, but also in terms of capacities for the main institution in charge of disaster management to properly manage any other emerging emergencies while managing COVID-19.
  • On the basis of the lessons learned, provide guidance for integrating DRR as an important cross-cutting issue to integrate horizontally for building resilience while engaging in long-term risk-informed recovery efforts.
