MOZAMBIQUE TO HOST UN RISK PROGRAMME.

Mozambique has been chosen to take part in a pilot UN programme to identify risks and enhance early warning systems in disaster prone countries.

Floods, droughts, cyclones, landslides and earthquakes are among the natural disasters that have affected Mozambique in the last five years.

In Mozambique, the programme would be used to boost early warning disaster systems in high risk areas, which have been accredited with the reduction in deaths from this year’s flooding.

Coordinator of the Global Risk Identification Programme, Carlos Vilacis said twenty countries would take part in the project, also including Nepal and Mexico.

Villacis said twenty million dollars would be used to train officials from the three countries, who would in turn train other officials.
