Disaster Loss Data and Linkage to Climate Change Impacts for the Arab Region

Description: This Technical Report presents a comprehensive analysis of weather-related and geological disasters in Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, the State of Palestine, Tunisia and Yemen, based on the methodology and tools developed by UNISDR. It provides a historical review of disaster trends over a 30-year period based on each country’s nationally-accounted disaster losses and focuses on frequency, mortality and economic losses indicators. The outcome serves as a sound basis for well-informed decisions towards disaster risk reduction interventions and highlights the importance of carrying out such flood risk analysis at the country level to prioritize actions in this regard.

Governance at the Basin Level: Senegal and Niger Rivers

 

Description: The Organisation pour la mise en valeur du fleuve Sénégal (OMVS) and the Autorité du bassin du Niger (ABN) are recognised for their good practices in transboundary cooperation. Both institutions are characterized by robust cooperative frameworks on political and financial dimensions, information exchange, coordination mechanisms and public participation. As highlighted by the following visuals, the proper functioning of these institutions is tributary to  ultiple factors, but the level of uniformity between the parties seems to be a keyfacilitator of effective coordination. The illustrations bring a visual insight of the differences between the Senegal and the Niger River Basins’ components and contexts.
