Dr Katharine Vincent is in Dakar this week to facilitate the validation workshop for the ECOWAS Disaster Risk Reduction Gender Strategy and Action Plan 2020-30. In partnership with Cowater International and the GFDRR, Katharine has been leading a team to draft the strategy and action plan. This is aligned with the Sendai Framework on Disaster Risk Reduction and the existing ECOWAS Disaster Risk Reduction Strategy, together with relevant international and continental gender commitments, and has been based on international good practice and priorities identified through consultations with government and non-government stakeholders in the ECOWAS Secretariat and among the 15 Member States.
