African governments will this year spend 163 billion on debt servicing Debt makes it impossible to invest in DRR without incurring further debt This was shared at #AFRP9 in Namibia @ZimTreasury @DebtforClimate @debt4climatezw @UNDRR_Africa @ActionAidZim

Feedback.

During the #AFRP9 in Namibia, Stella from @ifrc shared that 1. Most DRR laws are inconsistent, incoherent & outdated 2. Where DRR laws exist, there is inadequate budget allocation for implementation 3. Legislation must address needs of women, children and elderly #ACTonDRMBill
