Context
The Indian Ocean Regional Intervention Platform (PIROI) of the French Red Cross is conducting a disaster risk management program in cooperation with the National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies of the Southern Indian Ocean zone (Madagascar, Comoros, Seychelles, Mauritius, Mozambique, Tanzania) and the Federation of National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC).
The Southern Indian Ocean region presents multiple risks of natural origin (cyclones, floods, droughts, volcanic, seismic and tsunami risks), some of which are increased by climate change. The epidemic risk (vector-borne diseases, diseases linked to water quality, zoonoses) is also present in the area.
Since 2000, PIROI has carried out 79 development projects and 73 emergency operations in this area, benefiting more than 1.9 million people.
To address the growing challenges of climate change and facilitate the implementation of its strategic framework, PIROI has evolved into the PIROI Center. This regional center of expertise, training, and innovation, based in Réunion, is dedicated to disaster risk management and climate change adaptation.
The PIROI Center’s mission is to provide a space for work and reflection for humanitarian actors, risk management actors, political and development actors, research and training actors, the private sector, and the general public. This pooling of knowledge and skills will be done with the aim of creating synergies to strengthen local, national, and regional capacities.
In a context of increasing risks, the PIROI Center is completing the implementation of its strategic framework for the period 2021-2025 comprising four axes: improving the knowledge and skills of disaster risk management actors; Strengthening the capacities of disaster risk management actors; Prevention and preparation of populations in the Southwest Indian Ocean to make them more resilient to risks; Responding to the priority needs of populations affected by a disaster.
The development of the 2026-2030 strategic framework is currently being finalized.
