Eclipse Africa - information network about DRR in Africa

EclipseAfrica is an information network, providing information on disaster risk reduction to professionals in disaster management and related fields such as conflict management, development and peace building. It seeks to create awareness on the need to mainstream disaster risk reduction into development, recovery and reconstruction activities and emphasis on solutions to disaster risk issues and problems across Africa. EclipseAfrica is operated by a team of independent researchers which produces “The Eclipse”, a weekly electronic magazine, which raises issues on various disaster risk reduction strategies. About 600 professionals in disaster management and related fields currently receive “The Eclipse” and this number is growing. The scope of distribution is based on the knowledge that reducing the risk of and responding to disasters often requires that communities undergo changes, and that multi-disciplinary efforts are required to achieve required changes. Its audience includes conflict managers, development workers, human rights activists, journalists, students, educationists, extractive industry workers and disaster managers.
