The Department of Finance (DoF), the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), the European Union (EU) and the Agence Française de Développement (AFD) Group launched a disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM) program on March 22 to enhance local government units (LGUs) readiness capacities.
The Disaster Risk Reduction Enhancement at the Local Level Technical Assistance (DRREALL TA) Program aims to support the DILG in reinforcing local government units, specifically in building and enhancing existing capabilities in key DRRM aspects. The DRREALL TA Program will cover activities to address critical gaps, namely, risk-informed planning, integrated capacity development strategies, effective local DRRM funds’ utilization, and gender sensitive and socially inclusive disaster response towards ensuring the readiness and protection of citizens especially the vulnerable.
