Abstract. Disaster risk reduction (DRR) strategies are critical for formalizing effective disaster risk reduction. The overall objective of this study was to assess the progress the Africa Union member states are making in developing DRR strategies as required by Target E of the Sendai Framework. The study used both qualitative and quantitative approaches where in-depth desk review of DRR strategies and online questionnaires were administered to 53 respondents. The findings show about 68% of the AU member states have national strategies and 35% have sub-national strategies but generally, there is sluggish progress in updating DRR strategies in accordance with Sendai Framework Target E. Weak technical and institutional capacities, inadequate funds, limited decentralization of DRR and poor governance are key challenges hampering their implementation. Governments in Africa and partners should pay immediate attention to accelerate the development of risk-informed strategies to achieve the aspirations of the Sendai Framework.

在非洲实现仙台框架:实现目标E的进展和挑战

摘要。减少灾害风险(DRR)策略对于正式确定有效的减少灾害风险至关重要。这项研究的总体目标是评估非洲联盟成员国在制定仙台框架目标E所要求的DRR战略方面取得的进展。该研究使用了定性和定量方法,其中对53个受访者进行了DRR策略的深入案头审查和在线问卷调查。调查结果显示,约有68%的非盟成员国拥有国家战略,而35%的国家拥有次国家战略,但总体而言,根据仙台框架目标E更新DRR战略的进展缓慢。技术和机构能力薄弱,资金不足, DRR的权力下放有限以及治理不善是阻碍其实施的主要挑战。
