NICALERT: Disaster risk reduction with a focus on disaster prevention and preparedness in Nicaragua

About this project

The action will improve or establish disaster preparedness (DP) mechanisms, prevention, early warning systems (EWS) and climate change adaptation measures. Under the principle of ¿leave no one behind¿, NICALERT will address the climate change impacts on the socio-economic rights of the following groups: women, children and youth, indigenous people, afro-descendant ethnic communities, the elderly and people with disabilities.

Strengthening local disaster risk governance, integrating nature-based solutions (NbS) as well as resilient and accessible infrastructure, strengthening (and localising) inclusive early warning and information systems[1], and promotion of women and youth empowerment as active actors contributing to disaster response, recovery, and community resilience are the core elements for the action[2]. The action falls under MIP 2021 -2027 Priority 1¿Environment, and climate change adaptation and mitigation¿. It contributes directly to the Specific Objective (SO3): ¿Community resilience: Disaster risk reduction; prevention and preparation¿. The action responds to the basic principles of the international and EU policy framework, such as the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (2015-2030…
