Building on the INFORM framework and index, UNFPA developed a Population Risk and Resilience Assessment Framework, and a tool (DECA) to consolidate information essential for building resilience and sustainability in communities, and particularly among women and girls. The framework aligns UNFPA’s targeted vulnerable population with disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation, and complements INFORM by adding a demographic perspective. This approach has been applied in a range of countries, including Malawi and Indonesia.

To respect the women-only space, Mr. Guterres placed his chair outside the entrance of the tent. Agueda Nhantumbo, a UNFPA aid worker, explains how risks to women and girls increase in crisis settings. © UNFPA Mozambique/Natalia da Luz
The women-friendly spaces, operated by UNFPA and provincial authorities, also provide supplies for the women to teach each other skills, such as pottery and basket weaving. Here, women teach one another to plait hair. © UNFPA Mozambique/Natalia da Luz
“We just need the tools necessary to go back and make a living,” one woman told the Secretary-General. © UNFPA Mozambique/Natalia da Luz
The storms offer “a clear example of what’s in store for all of us if we don’t act now: more frequent, intense and damaging natural disasters,” Mr. Guterres said. “We need urgent climate action.” © UNFPA Mozambique/Natalia da Luz
