United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) invites not profit-making organisations to submit grant proposals that focus on the project Building Back Better from COVID-19 in the Arab States by Applying the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction and Enabling a Prevention-Oriented and Risk-Informed Approach.
The Sendai Framework considers a broader definition of risk, beyond natural hazards, and calls for the incorporation of biological hazard management and building resilient health systems. The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the systemic nature of risk; the early and aggressive lockdown measures implemented in some parts of the Arab States region have caused severe socioeconomic impact in these countries, which in turn increases vulnerability to the variety of natural and man-made hazards.
This project seeks to integrate biological hazards and strengthen public health sector resilience in national and local strategies for disaster risk reduction.
Purpose: This project will seek to strengthen the resilience of the public health sector in three cities in Jordan through the application of the Public Health Sector Resilience Scorecard Addendum and using the findings to revise the Local Resilience Action Plan in each of the cities in consultation with the local governments and stakeholders.
Outcome: Health sector resilience integrated into local resilience action plans in Jarash, Madaba and Aqaba cities in Jordan.
Output: Three resilience action plans for Jarash, Madaba and Aqaba cities revised towards strengthening public health sector resilience.
- The maximum amount requested from UNDRR for the implementation of this project cannot exceed 45,000 USD.
- The duration of the proposed project cannot exceed 31 January 2022.
- Apply the Public Health Sector Resilience Scorecard Addendum in each of the three cities including organizing workshops with local governments and stakeholders to develop their capacities along the process; and
