Call Summary
The need for data to enhance informed decision-making, locally relevant technical knowledge and fit-for-purpose processes and tools has emerged as a priority from extensive consultations on disaster resilient infrastructure with SIDS stakeholders. Recognizing that the SIDS4 draft outcome document is the most recent call for action from the SIDS, the 2nd Call for Proposals has been designed to support the priorities as defined in the document – namely to support initiatives related to ‘Climate Action, Mainstreaming Resilience and Strengthening Data for Resilient and Inclusive Infrastructure’. The projects to be supported through the IRIS 2nd Call will aim to equip relevant government agencies in SIDS with needed technical support and knowledge products for promoting resilient infrastructure, with the goal to foster resilient economies and a secure future for SIDS.
