Better prepared for disasters: building resilience in Cuba
The EU allocated €1.85 million to the WFP and UNDP to strengthen urban and climate resilience.
EU humanitarian aid supports the development of policies and methodologies, meteorological measurement systems in eastern Cuba, training of officials and the population on how to best anticipate and adjust to hydro-climatical hazards - be it drought or floods.
Farmers have been supported to develop strategies to adapt to climate change, to protect their crops and livestock, like planting varieties of plants that survive well with little water in the most drought-prone areas.
Improved resilience guarantees their economic survival, but most importantly, that local communities don’t face food shortages every time there is a natural hazard.
