Congratulations @FijiNDMO &partners for establishing the National Emergency Response Team #NERT, a first for #Fiji. Disasters pose greater risk to women & girls in all their diversity, people with disabilities etc, and the NERT will help reduce the risk & impact of disasters.

Thank you Fiji Government for the recognition of UN Women support to the inaugural National Emergency Response Team training through the Women’s Resilience to Disasters which is supported by Australian Govt. Effective disaster risk reduction, response & resilience takes a whole of society approach.
