International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction
During this year’s International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction (IDDRR 2025) in Busia County, leaders and partners came together to reflect on the urgent need to invest in community resilience rather than disaster response. Discussions focused on how proactive planning, collaboration, and innovation can reduce the impact of disasters and strengthen local capacities to adapt and thrive. In line with this year’s theme, IOMe254 showcased creative and sustainable innovations that demonstrated how youth-led ideas can turn challenges into opportunities for disaster risk reduction. By nurturing innovation, and community-driven solutions, we move closer to a future where resilience is funded, disasters are prevented, and every community is empowered to build back stronger.
