The delegation discussed with H.E. Dr. Sidi Ould TAH, Director General, of BADEA, the possibilities to cooperate and coordinate between BADEA and ARC in the area of disaster risk management, through helping African Risk Capacity to better plan, prepare and respond to extreme weather events and natural disasters in African member’s countries.
The two parties also agreed to cooperate in the future in the area in disaster risk financing and investments protection to achieve African economic growth especially in the key area of agriculture. In addition, the expected collaboration will also strengthen ARC’s capacity to deliver on its mandate in accordance with BADEA’s regulations and capabilities.
