At GEADIRR, we considered the year 2015 critical; one
in which decisions that will impact on the youths, the elderly, the disabled,
the poor and vulnerable were taken. The year marked the conclusion of three
major international processes- the Sendai frame work
(2015-2030) for Disaster Risk Reduction, replacing the Hyogo framework(2005-2015),
the Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs)
replacing the MDGs and finally the Climate
Change treaty through the conference of parties. All these processes are
interlinked and requires the effective collaboration to effect real change
especially at the Frontline where those most in need work and live.
GEADIRR is a member and part of a GNDR
initiative on the development of a Frontline database.
This is a spatial database development from work carried by its members with
aspects of socio-economic and environmental and cultural embedded for a better
understanding of the situation at the frontline and also highlighting the
cross-cutting issues of Disaster Risk, Climate Change and Development impacts
on the lives of local population across the world.
In Cameroon, We are currently working within a network of
six CSOs to contribute in one way or the other in the implementation of
the above mentioned international processes at the grassroots level through different networks. We would like to translate
“more clouds into more rains”. And this would be achieved only when all
stakeholders can join hands together.
