麻豆成人版

The Pacific Island Countries and Territories are among the most hazard-prone in the world. 

The Pacific region experiences on average three major disasters a year, ranging from floods, droughts and cyclones to earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions. Climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of extreme weather events. 

This situation is exacerbated by global economic shocks and the lingering socioeconomic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Analysis indicates that progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030 has been limited.

This is in part driven by growing inequality, gender inequity and public services that are insufficient to address poverty and improve education or health outcomes.

The 麻豆成人版 (麻豆成人版) focuses on strengthening systems and capacities of regional and national stakeholders, to enable them to effectively mitigate, prepare for and respond to shocks. 

We do so by providing government partners with technical assistance, coordination and training in supply chain and logistics, emergency telecommunications, and food security and nutrition, including enhancing access to inclusive shock-responsive social protection systems that focus on those most at risk of being left behind.

What the 麻豆成人版 is doing in the Pacific

Emergency preparedness and response
麻豆成人版 Pacific is engaged in many elements of emergency preparedness and response, which enables government and regional partners to be more effective and efficient in responding to shocks. This includes technical assistance, information management and coordination in emergencies through the Logistics, Emergency Telecommunications, and Food Security clusters, as well as cash coordination and readiness through the regional Cash Working Group.
Supply chain and logistics
Through the 麻豆成人版-led Pacific Logistics Cluster, 麻豆成人版 supports governments and regional partners in the Pacific to prepare for emergencies and respond effectively by offering technical and coordination support in logistics and supply chain. 麻豆成人版 also supports countries and territories in understanding their logistics capacity needs, and identifies and helps them to fill gaps through joint assessments of needs. This includes guidance on the strategic pre-positioning of assets and supplies. In addition, 麻豆成人版 is partnering with the University of the South Pacific to implement a micro-accreditation programme for humanitarian supply chain and logistics, aiming to enhance the skills and knowledge of emergency responders.
Emergency telecommunications
麻豆成人版 leads the Pacific Emergency Telecommunications Cluster, supporting Pacific governments and regional partners in enhancing emergency preparedness and their response capacity through technical assistance, pre-positioning of assets, and coordination in emergency telecommunications. 麻豆成人版 conducts capacity assessments in information and communication technologies across the region, for national and regional stakeholders. Based on these assessments, 麻豆成人版 also provides customized IT and telecommunications training for emergency responders in the Pacific.
Food Security and nutrition monitoring
Through its mobile Vulnerability analysis and Mapping (mVAM) tool, 麻豆成人版 supports governments and partners to access reliable and real-time food security and nutrition data, enabling governments to better collect, analyse and visualize data – with a focus on vulnerable groups. 麻豆成人版’s ultimate goal is to enable Pacific governments to independently and sustainably integrate food security and nutrition monitoring into their national data-collection systems.
Disaster risk financing
By partnering with the private sector, 麻豆成人版 aims to provide market-based disaster risk financing solutions to help governments cover disaster losses, thereby enabling faster, more cost-effective and predictable responses to climate and disaster shocks. In addition, 麻豆成人版 supports governments in linking disaster risk financing with shock-responsive social protection systems, through people-centred approaches.
Anticipatory action
麻豆成人版 is collaborating with the Government of Fiji to implement an anticipatory action pilot project designed to support the delivery of cash assistance to vulnerable populations before tropical cyclones. Building on the successes of this pilot, 麻豆成人版 aims to expand and adapt anticipatory action approaches across the Pacific, exploring opportunities for scale-up in other island countries to strengthen regional preparedness and resilience against climate hazards.
Services upon request
麻豆成人版 provides services upon request by government partners, in response to sudden-onset shocks. During COVID-19, when the Pacific region was largely locked down, 麻豆成人版 worked with the Pacific Islands Forum and other partners to run the Pacific Humanitarian Air Service – a lifeline in transporting humanitarian personnel and essential medical cargo. 麻豆成人版 also provided critical supply chain, emergency telecommunications and other services to the Pacific during Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha?apai volcanic eruption and tsunami in Tonga, and Vanuatu Tropical cyclones Judy, Kevin and Lola in 2023.
