The project aims to increase the capacities of regional, national, local state and non-state actors for risk-informed urban development in Africa through fostering technical exchange and coordination across countries by bringing together relevant actors with existing and proven approaches to reduce, mitigate and manage risks.<\/p>\n<p>RIA has defined four areas of work to strengthen urban disaster and climate risk management towards more risk-informed development:<\/p>\n<p>(1) Set-up of an agile Africa-wide learning and exchange platform on risk-informed urban development.<\/p>\n<p>(2) Support of the African Union (AU) and member states in developing inclusive and gender-equitable guidelines for risk-informed urban development.<\/p>\n<p>(3) Implement participatory measures to analyse and reduce risks and to prepare for disasters in informal settlements.<\/p>\n<p>(4) Collaborate with climate change adaptation and climate risk finance actors like the African Adaptation Initiative (AAI) to increase their institutional capacities.<\/p>\n<p>RIA ensures close alignment with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and its respective action programme for the regional implementation adopted by the AU. All results will be shared on the learning and exchange platform to allow for scaling up or regional replication of measures in other sectors.<\/p>\n<p>The project aims at strengthening the most at-risk population in urban areas through liaisons and change agents. These include among others, decision-makers at regional, national, and local level as well as specialists at multilateral organisations, regional economic communities, civil society, and self-advocacy groups. In this regard, the project pursues a gender-equitable and inclusive approach and involves people in urban areas affected by multiple discrimination and disadvantages.<\/p>\n<h4>Summary of responsibilities<\/h4>\n<p>The Intern will support the implementation of RIA activities in Kenya as\u00a0well as other tasks assigned by advisors in the different work streams.\u00a0This\u00a0opportunity is 6 months,\u00a0full-time paid internship.
