RCMRD 🇰🇪 🇺🇬 🇸🇴 🇹🇿 🇲🇼 🇰🇲 🇿🇲 🇱🇸 🇸🇿
We join the world in celebrating World Meteorological Day today! 🌍☁️ On this occasion, we reflect on the newly released State of the Global Climate 2025 report, highlighting two critical takeaways: Earth's energy imbalance is at its highest level on record. Also, weather and climate extremes continue to pose escalating risks to food and human security, health, and economies Remote sensing and geographical information systems play a pivotal role in this nexus, delivering ready-to-use data from vast satellite constellations and supporting local decision-making through innovative tools like decision support systems. This impact is amplified through partnerships and innovation. @RCMRD_ invites partners in disaster risk reduction, biodiversity & ecosystems, agriculture, land use planning, water resource management, and weather & climate to join hands in supporting our member states across East and Southern Africa. Let's collaborate to observe today and protect tomorrow! @WMO | @CelesteSau4049 #WorldMetDay #StateOfClimate #ClimateAction #RemoteSensing #GIS #EarlyWarningsForAll #AfricaClimateResilience #GoolgeEarthEngine

This year’s theme, “Water and Gender,” highlights the critical link between access to safe water, sanitation, and gender equality. Across our region, women and girls are disproportionately affected by water scarcity, often bearing the responsibility of water collection, which impacts education, health, and economic opportunities. There is need to leverage geospatial technologies and earth observation data to support inclusive, data-driven water resource management, helping governments and partners plan for equitable access to water. Advancing water security is advancing #genderequality. #WorldWaterDay #WaterAndGender #WaterSecurity ^AS

When Art Changes a Child’s Story I first encountered Faces Up through a beautiful act of generosity. At the time, a friend of mine, then Marketing Manager at Latitude Zero, reached out looking for an organization to receive the proceeds from an art event called Ebirungi. The artists had committed to donate 10% of their sales, and Latitude wanted it to go to a meaningful cause. Working with my colleague Elizabeth, who leads our Kuonyesha Art Fund, she recommended @FacesUpUganda And so began the connection. At the Ebirungi event, I remember listening to @kalulemma, the Founder and CEO, speak so passionately about their work. It stayed with me. Faces Up works with children in low-income communities, using art as a tool for expression, healing, and possibility. The children create art, and through its sale, contribute toward their schooling. But it is so much more than that. Through art, they are finding voice. They are building confidence. They are learning empathy, community, and even entrepreneurship. I fell in love with the work, the ethos, and the people behind it. I promised myself I would visit. When I finally did, I spent an afternoon painting with the children. The joy, the laughter and the seriousness of that day remain one of my most memorable experiences. This year, I had the added joy of meeting Emmanuel’s mother, the woman who believed in and supported his dream from the very beginning. Hearing her speak gave even deeper meaning to the journey of Faces Up. I have watched this organization grow and bloom. And now, they are at a pivotal moment. They need a bigger space so they can reach more children, nurture more talent, and extend this beautiful work even further. To make this possible, they are raising $5,000, which will be matched. Deadline: 31st March If you have ever believed in the power of art… If you have ever seen what happens when a child is given a chance… This is one of those moments to act. 👉🏾 Donate here: lnkd.in/dP7A2mwY And truly, why stop at $5,000? Let’s help them go beyond. Let’s help them reach even more children. We can do this. Together. #ArtForChange #InvestInChildren #CollectiveGiving

RCMRD 🇰🇪 🇺🇬 🇸🇴 🇹🇿 🇲🇼 🇰🇲 🇿🇲 🇱🇸 🇸🇿
📌Following International Women’s Day, we are reflecting on the disproportionate impact of disasters on women and girls. According to the @UNDP , women and children are 14 times more likely to die during a disaster than men. 👉Link: undp.org/blog/women-are… gender-blind 👉The underlying factors to these statistics are often rooted in women vulnerabilities which are enhanced by gender roles, oppressive cultural norms and systemic inequalities which limit access to life-saving early warning information. This is despite the fact that it is documented that disaster response mechanisms centralized to women often lead to fewer deaths and more resilient communities. 👉To address this, RCMRD is working towards mapping these vulnerabilities to provide this critical information to disaster managers for better planning during humanitarian response. Our continued effort to provide mapping services for disaster risk management and for early warning services will support the reduction of disaster impacts for women. Read more about this project. 👉icpac.net/our-projects/e… 👉drr.rcmrd.org #DRR #GenderInclusiveDRR #EW4ALL
