22 Mar 2024 The Gender Action Plan to support implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 (Sendai GAP) has been launched and is available now. The Sendai GAP aims to accelerate progress towards the mutually reinforcing goals of gender equality and the prevention and reduction of disaster risk by ensuring DRR efforts are gender-responsive, and promote and support women’s empowerment and leadership. The Sendai GAP identifies nine key objectives related to the four priorities of the Sendai Framework, and 33 recommended actions promote gender equality and the empowerment and leadership of women and gender stakeholders in disaster risk reduction. As the world faces multiple crises that put immense pressure on communities, achieving gender equality is more vital than ever. The Sendai GAP was created through a multi-stakeholder consultation process, and launched on 18 March 2024. Now it’s time to implement.
