22nd ALNAP Biannual Meeting

4-6th December 2007
hosted by OCHA in Saly

Main theme

The general theme of this Biannual was Compounding crises: combinations of vulnerabilities, risks and hazards in West Africa.
The meeting aimed to discus how combinations of different kinds of hazards and risks (for example floods, droughts, conflicts, environmental degradation etc) and different vulnerabilities (social, political, geographic, economic, etc) interact and combine to produce more complex and entrenched vulnerabilities, and how they then impact on various elements of humanitarian action.

Women, mostly illiterate, are key leaders of the Disaster Management Team (DMT) in Dhararghat, a village located near the Brahmaputra River in the northeastern Indian state of Assam. Action by Churches Together (ACT International) has worked with residents here to survive the ravages of flooding, build roads and schools, and to form a DMT to help the community learn to live with worsening flooding. The teams are often the first opportunity for the village's women to participate in organized community life, and the groups have taken on other issues such as domestic violence that affect the daily life of the village's families.
