HARISSA

Natural HAzards, RISks and Society in Africa: developing knowledge and capacities
Experience in recent years has taught us that natural hazards in Central Africa, although still poorly studied, have a significant negative impact on development. HARISSA's long-term overall objective is to contribute to reducing the incidence of natural hazards and associated risks in Central Africa and in particular in the West Branch of the East African Rift, in DRC, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi. The project aims to develop knowledge, expertise, awareness and support for local, national and regional initiatives by following four specific objectives: 1/ academic training, 2/ mapping and hazard data collection, 3/ improving awareness and risk preparedness, and 4/ consoli-dating previous achievements. The achievement of these objectives is based on the strengthening of key institu-tions in these domains with a strong link to citizen-based science. The project aims to target the wide range of stakeholders involved and/or concerned by natural risks and disasters, from academic or research groups to citizens and policy makers. The project will also look at the impact of citizen-science on development.
