Strengthening Disaster Resilience in Albania

The overall objective is to strengthen the disaster risk management capacity of the Government of Albania. Following the significant earthquake affecting Albania on November 26, 2019, the grant sub-objectives were amended to: support the post-earthquake damage, loss and needs assessment; enhance financial protection by assessing gaps and opportunities to develop a disaster risk financing strategy; improve the availability and use of disaster risk information and loss data for decision-making; and guide more holistic resourcing of local-level DRM through municipal, prefecture and national mechanisms.
