“From Risk to Resilience: The Role of the Public-Private Partnerships in Disaster Management”
More frequent and severe climate-driven disasters, conflict and forced displacement, and the lingering economic effects of the pandemic highlight the urgent need for effective risk reduction and disaster management strategies. As disasters multiply and systemic risks increase, it is imperative to connect across sectors, foster partnerships, enabling resilience and sustainable development for all.
Public-Private Partnerships bring together diverse resources, expertise, and innovation to address the complexities of disaster management comprehensively.
The Conference will provide a platform for high-level discussion and dialogue by a range of stakeholders, discussing ways in which the private sector can contribute to the SDGs and the significant role that multi stakeholder partnerships can play in Disaster Management.
In partnership with the British Chamber of Commerce Kenya and the American Chamber of Commerce Kenya
