Crisis and Environment

The Crisis Prevention and Recovery / Environment Unit was established in 2009 to address the various natural disasters and challenges of Mozambique within a comprehensive and integrated programme on mainstreaming disaster risk reduction, mine action and small arms and light weapons control, environmental management and adaptation to climate change.

In addition to its own projects UNDP is strongly contributing to the joint UN programmes in the areas of disaster risk reduction and climate change. This includes the support to the National Disaster Management Institute. In 2009, Mozambique joined the Africa Adaptation programme, aiming at establishing an institutional framework to manage climate change risk.

UNDP also continues its long work in supporting the National Demining institute in implementing the national mine action plan and some NGOs in their demining activities. Mine action, climate change and disaster risk reduction-related inputs are provided to the government’s review process of its poverty reduction plan.
