Achieving Sendai Framework in Africa: Progress and challenges toward Target E
Abstract. Disaster risk reduction (DRR) strategies are critical for formalizing effective disaster risk reduction. The overall objective of this study was to assess the progress the Africa Union member states are making in developing DRR strategies as required by Target E of the Sendai Framework. The study used both qualitative and quantitative approaches where in-depth desk review of DRR strategies and online questionnaires were administered to 53 respondents. The findings show about 68% of the AU member states have national strategies and 35% have sub-national strategies but generally, there is sluggish progress in updating DRR strategies in accordance with Sendai Framework Target E. Weak technical and institutional capacities, inadequate funds, limited decentralization of DRR and poor governance are key challenges hampering their implementation. Governments in Africa and partners should pay immediate attention to accelerate the development of risk-informed strategies to achieve the aspirations of the Sendai Framework.

The work handles a very interesting topic and tries to highlight the current situation in the countries under analysis.Â
However, some corrections should be made to better frame the contents:
- Target E should be introduced and explained properly for the readersÂ
- Explenation of the "ten- point" should be more comphensive and the 4 priorities of the Sendai Framework taken into account should be properly introduced to the reader
- English should be revised (grammatically incorrect or non clear sentences)Â
- Provide list of abbreviations
