Improving Disaster Relief/Recovery in Zimbabwe! (Remote)

DAP is the leading nonprofit organization that provides long-term independent oversight of disaster management systems.

DAP engages a dedicated community to advance policy research and advocacy, promote transparency, and encourage the public to participate in oversight, community-based organizing, and discussions about disaster preparedness and relief.

Dedicated citizen oversight is necessary to ensure resources dedicated to preparedness, relief, and recovery are effectively utilized, communities are sufficiently engaged and more resilient, and best practices and lessons learned are implemented so mistakes are not repeated.

Prior to the creation of the Disaster Accountability Project (DAP), there was no dedicated, independent oversight of the agencies and organizations responsible for these critical life-saving responsibilities.

• Assist these local NGOs with registration on SmartResponse and already registered NGOs with completing their surveys/profiles.
• Engage the diaspora community and others interested in supporting relief/recovery efforts to utilize this information to directly support local NGOs.
