Somali Government and the African Union (AU) have signed an agreement in Addis Ababa in joining the African Risk Capacity, SONNA reported.
The agreement was signed by FGS Minister of Relief and Disaster Management Her Excellency Khadijo Mohamed Diriye.
ARC is a Specialized Agency of the African Union established to help African governments improve their capacities to better plan, prepare, and respond to extreme weather events and natural disasters.
Through collaboration and innovative finance, ARC enables countries to strengthen their disaster risk management systems and access rapid and predictable financing when disaster strikes to protect the food security and livelihoods of their vulnerable populations.
Somalia will become the 35th member of the bloc, and is the first country to join the ARC in 2021.
