We want to achieve a paradigm shift in supporting communities to anticipate, prepare and respond to disasters before they happen. In Africa, amazing progress has been made and we are now moving the focus to expand to other hazards - from floods to droughts and now moving into anticipating non-weather hazards like locusts, and pandemics. The challenge of compounding risks, of several hazards coinciding and their impacts multiplying will remain with us in the common years, and it has been a huge challenge in the past year.
