Mission
The international community has come to the aid of Cagayan de Oro City and Iligan City, the two cities in Mindanao which were hit by flooding in December last year, to enable the cities to cope with the disastrous consequences of natural calamities as a result of climate change. The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Australian government (AusAid) have partnered with the Philippine government and are extending financial assistance in the amount of more than P69 M.
Voluntary Commitments
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
