In Kyrgyzstan, IFRC Disaster Law together with the Red Crescent Society of Kyrgyzstan is providing technical legal advice to develop sectoral laws and bylaws to the International Disaster Response Law (IDRL) of 2017 to allow for its effective implementation at all levels. This includes support in sharing of best practices on the importance of legal preparedness and effective mainstreaming of climate-smart disaster laws and policies that leave no one behind.
We are working with the National Secretariat of Disaster Risk Reduction and Disaster Response Coordination Unit (DRCU) in Kyrgyzstan. The program utilises local capacities of the Kyrgyzstan Red Crescent Society and the National Disaster Risk Reduction Platform, established by the government, and other stakeholders to raise awareness, build the capacity of government stakeholders, map relevant laws and regulations, provide technical advice, and conduct additional local research about climate-smart disaster laws and policies.
