The increasing frequency and severity of natural and human-induced disasters worldwide, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), is a cause for significant concern. This book aims to provide a comprehensive overview of global disaster management frameworks and explore the African Union's (AU) strategy for disaster risk reduction (AU-DRR). It delves into country-specific cases within the AU-DRR framework and assesses the extent to which national policies align with AU-DRR objectives.
By combining reviews and empirical evidence, the chapters offer an in-depth analysis of disaster policy processes, institutions, and arrangements in SSA. The book situates the sub-continent within broader global and African instruments such as the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction and the African Union's Disaster Risk Reduction strategy. Furthermore, it offers novel insights that can enhance our understanding of disaster risk reduction in Africa from a policy perspective.
A comprehensive analysis of all chapters provides valuable insights and information for developing disaster management policies aimed at improving outcomes in SSA. The book is designed to cater to a diverse audience, including specialized academics, students, disaster management policy makers, practitioners, and occasional users. It features an extensive glossary of terms and an index, making it a valuable resource for those seeking to deepen their knowledge in this field.
