After three days of discussions, the 9th Africa Regional Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction concluded with the adoption of the Windhoek Declaration on advancing the Programme of Action for the Implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 in Africa. This ambitious document sets the direction for the next three years, reinforcing Africa's commitment to reducing disaster risks and building resilience across the continent.

The Windhoek declaration calls on Member States to increase budgetary allocation and establish innovative financing solutions, with support from regional and international partners to access funding, including for loss and damages and the Eary Warning for All initiative. The Windhoek Declaration also reiterates the call for inclusivity especially in legislations and policies but also through better national systems for gathering disaggregated data.
