Somalia: National disaster risk management policy
The development of the National Disaster Risk Management Policy is a major step towards ensuring that disaster risk management is a collective responsibility and is integrated in the development planning by all sectors in the country. This policy presents the institutional structures, roles, responsibilities and key processes required to achieve a coordinated, coherent and consistent management of disaster related issues.
The Somalia Government is committed to ensure implementation of the policy and the development of strong systems for effective disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. The Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management is established to coordinate the Disaster Risk Management activities across different sectors within a unified policy framework.
