Training of master trainers on Artificial Intelligence for disaster risk reduction

Share During the last decades, climate change and other pressures have amplified risks and widen the range of detrimental events that cause devastation of human life, property, biodiversity, and cultural heritage worldwide. Eastern Africa is no exception. With high sensitivity and limited adaptive capacity, weather-related and geological hazards have caused massive havoc in the region.  For instance, in May 2020, floods were reported in more than three quarters of Kenya’s counties (36 out of 47), with landslides reported in the Rift Valley and the central and coastal regions causing deaths and displacement of more than 400,000 people. In Rwanda, the official death toll of landslides, lightning, floods and other events was 254 in 2018, a sharp increase from 82 the previous year. The economic damage was also estimated as 204 billion Rwandan francs ($225 million) with nearly 16,000 homes destroyed.
