Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Recent data has shown a significant reduction in people affected or dying due to disasters over the past years, the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs has said.<\/p>\n

However, Albino Akol says there is no scientific baseline to measure the trend.<\/p>\n

But he says, the reduction in unspecified deaths or casualties can be attributed to the increased awareness among the vulnerable communities especially in the rural areas.<\/p>\n

Akol\u2019s remarks come as South Sudan observed the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction on Tuesday, October 31.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a reduction in the number of deaths or casualties that can be attributed to the increased awareness among the vulnerable communities, especially in the rural areas, substantially increased the number of countries with national and local disaster strategies by 2020,\u201d said Minister Akol.<\/p>\n

According to Minister Akol, the government has made outstanding progress by developing a national disaster risk management policy which was endorsed by the Council of Ministers last year.<\/p>\n

He added that the ministry established a national disaster risk reduction strategy with cross-sectoral membership comprising of government institutions and humanitarian sectors.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Vice-President in charge of the Youth and Gender Cluster has reiterated the government\u2019s commitment to the reduction of disaster risks in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d like to use this opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to disaster risk reduction. together we can create more resilience in South Sudan, that leaves no one behind. By embracing the spirit of inclusivity,\u201d VP Nyandeng said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will transform challenges into opportunities and embark on the journey towards a safer and more prosperous future for all,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

South Sudan observed the day under the theme; Stronger together to fight inequality, reduce risks of human-induced disasters and impact of climate shocks for a resilient South Sudan.<\/p>\n

Government institutions and humanitarian actors gathered today at Dr John Garang\u2019s Mausoleum to commemorate the day.<\/p>\n
