Institutional and Corporate Capacity Building and Skills Development:
An empowered community is an effective community. SOFADECCA aims at making disaster control, mitigation and reconstruction a people’s affair. To this end, emphasis on institutional and corporate empowerment and capacity building for these categories is vital in guaranteeing sustainable disaster interventions in Kenya.
This will guarantee continued access to financial, human, technical, material, expatriate, and other forms of resources. With adequate provision of resources, this proposal will adequately be implemented and its envisaged results realised. Thus it will be possible for the HEDI-PREMIREM to act as a successful case study of a comprehensive disaster mitigation program in a developing economy (Kenya).
Kenya, as any other third world and developing countries, has had its own share of disasters and emergency situations ranging from the 1998 Twin Bombing of USA Embassy in Kenya and Tanzania, Bombolulu Girls Inferno, Kyanguli Boys High School Inferno, Collapse of the Kihonge Building in Nairobi’s Ronald Ngala Street, Flower Farms Fires in Naivasha, Estates ravaged by fierce fires bringing down buildings thereby causing great damage and loss to property and lives.
