Cooperation agreement

On Wednesday June 6 —during the first session of the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction, held in Geneva, Switzerland— the Organization of American States (OAS), through its Department of Sustainable Development, and the secretariat of the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Risk Reduction (UN/ISDR) signed a cooperation agreement to support the implementation of the Hyogo Framework for Action in the Americas.
The agreement was signed by Sálvano Briceño, Director of the UN/ISDR secretariat, and Pablo Gonzalez, Director of the OAS Department of Sustainable Development. This inter-institutional cooperation agreement is relevant at both political and technical level, and will contribute to advancing the creation of a regional platform to be incorporated into the strengthened UN/ISDR system.
