🏅The 2023 RISK Award went to an early warning system project in Africa. This project, implemented by the Association for Water and Rural Development, is for a water resources early warning system in the Inkomati Basin, shared by three countries: South Africa, Mozambique, and Eswatini. It addresses various risks, such as water insecurity, floods, droughts, and health risks related to water pollution. This year's RISK Award, sponsored by United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) and Munich Re Foundation, demonstrates how non-profit organizations can play a great role in making communities safer and more resilient to disasters. ➡️ https://ow.ly/Ttx150PaeWX

Almost $5 million in funding is now available for projects aimed to help South Australians better prepare for natural hazards, and reduce their risk and impact. They include exploring options to help people on low incomes to insure their properties against natural hazards, and assessing the effectiveness of ‘cool refuges’ during heatwaves. Thirteen projects have received joint Australian and South Australian government-funded Disaster Risk Reduction Grants, which, combined with co-contributions from recipients, means a total of $4.87 million will be invested in disaster risk reduction.

Shouldn't such works be undertaken AFTER a community consultation (and review of DPR) rather than creating this kind of situation and then saying work was 'scientific'. Also should donors be held accountable as well in such scenarios (as donors all claim positive impacts as their impacts, so why not be accountable for negative impacts too?). My view is that if the work was done under an RFP type process (where program design emerged form donor) and/or Donor team had a formal sign-off authority to NGO's program plans, the donors need to be held equally liable.
