The MAPS Project is a three-year initiative aiming at strengthening policy-making and programming on migration and forced displacement in Sub-Saharan Africa.
With a €10 million budget funded primarily by the European Commission, MAPS brings together a multidisciplinary network of African and European partners—including Sapienza University of Rome, five Italian universities with UNESCO Chairs, and universities in Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya, and Spain. It is supported by advisory bodies such as the IOM Regional Data Hub and the University of the Witwatersrand.

“Global Exchange on Religion in Society” (GERIS) is an EU funded project. Its implementation has been entrusted to a consortium between Particip GmbH (Germany) and Media Diversity Institute (UK).

Overall objective: Connect and empower civil society practitioners working on faith and social inclusion, enhancing cooperation across a broader range of issues with a focus on both “religious” and “non-religious” areas of policy concern.

The Intra-ACP Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) Programme, financed under the 11th European Development Fund (EDF), represents one of the European Union’s key cooperation instruments with the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS) in strengthening risk management and resilience to disasters. With a budget of €100.5 million for the period 2022–2028, the Programme aims to reduce the impacts of disasters caused by natural hazards, extreme climate and weather events, and other exogenous risks, while strengthening the resilience of the most vulnerable populations. It is fully aligned with the priorities of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, regional and national agendas, and with broader international commitments to promote sustainable, inclusive and climate-resilient development.

Strengthening Resilience and Reducing Disaster Impacts Across OACPS Regions

Operating at an interregional scale across Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific, the Programme works through a network of 8 implementing partners, regional organisations and specialised technical institutions. This multi-partner approach supports complementary actions ranging from strengthening early warning systems and improving risk governance to integrating disaster risk reduction into national, sectoral policies and investment planning.

With its three specific objectives, the Programme seeks to:
> Strengthen disaster risk governance. This means better management of disaster risks, ensuring that the right policies and frameworks are in place to protect people, communities, ecosystems and their livelihoods.
> Increase investment in disaster risk reduction. Investing in resilient infrastructure and sustainable practices, can help communities withstand and recover from disasters more effectively.
> Enhance disaster preparedness to ensure effective response and recovery. This includes 'Build Back Better' during recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction, creating stronger and safer communities.
To ensure coherence and effectiveness across its components, a dedicated Technical Assistance facility managed by DAI supports the coordination of the Programme implementation. This support includes monitoring and evaluation, analytical advice, peer learning and facilitation of knowledge exchange across ACP regions. It also plays a central role in advancing South–South cooperation, enabling countries to share innovations, tools and lessons learned in disaster risk management.
Stronger disaster resilience starts with better knowledge. This approach positions knowledge creation and sharing at the core of technical assistance, while using communication as a catalyst for impact, coordination and recognition of results. The aim is to transform local and regional experiences into shared resources that benefit the wider DRR community and OACP countries.
