Today marks a major milestone for national resilience and climate governance as the Ministry of Interior & National Administration launches the National Disaster Risk Management Strategy (2025-2030),
With support from @UNDP, @EUinKenya, and key partners, this strategy equips Kenya with a robust framework to mitigate disaster risks, protect communities, and integrate disaster risk management into development planning.
Together, let us build a safer, more resilient Kenya.
At @UNDPKenya, we are proud to have supported the development of Kenya’s National DRM Strategy 2025–2030, launched today in Nairobi.
Through the Strengthening Disaster Risk Governance and Recovery Capacities project, funded by @EUinKenya, we’ve helped lay the groundwork for better risk governance, early warning systems, and recovery planning.
This strategy empowers Kenya to build stronger systems and reduce climate-related vulnerability—especially in the most at-risk communities.
Thank you to @MinInteriorKe, @RedCrossKE, and all partners for the incredible collaboration.
