In March 2005, IDRL Delegate for Africa, Eilif Torma, visited Maputo to discuss a future IDRL technical assistance project in the country, and to disseminate on the IDRL project and the IDRL Guidelines
As the country is currently in the process of revising its disaster regulations, national authorities expressed strong interest in the IDRL concept and the Guidelines.
Torma also met with the Mozambique Red Cross, other components of the Red Cross Red Crescent movement, the United Nations, the diplomatic community and government officials to discuss issues of legal preparedness for disasters.
“All the institutions and the people we met seemed to develop a quick interest in the IDRL concept. This is promising for the further progress of the pilot project in Mozambique,” Torma commented.
