The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction is pleased to invite qualified organizations to submit their respective proposals for the “Harnessing synergies between climate change adaptation and risk reduction in migrant-inclusive health system responses in Lebanon” project.
Purpose
- The overall objective of the joint programme is to contribute to strengthening synergies between CCA and risk reduction in the MENA region through mainstreaming a gender-sensitive human mobility lens into national public health adaptation strategies and DRR strategies and enhance understanding of health impacts of climate change among the host and migrant communities in the target countries.
- Under this grant, the purpose is to develop a local resilience action plan for a selected city or union of municipalities in Akkar through utilizing UNDRR’s scorecards (the public health system resilience addendum and the disaster resilience scorecard). The local resilience action plan must be developed with direct cooperation and consultation with the local government of the city/union of municipalities and other relevant stakeholders.
Funding Information
