Mayor of Johannesburg, South Africa, Mr Mpho Franklyn Parks Tau reads a booklet that explains the Making Cities Resilient Campaign and its 10 essentials to build a safer tomorrow.
The United Cities and Local Governments Congress in Rabat this week is the world’s largest gathering of mayors and municipality leaders. More than 3,000 delegates converged on the Moroccan capital to discuss the increasing importance and influence of local leadership.
The Head of the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction Margareta Wahlström was at the centre of things, sitting on the panel for one of the Congress’ main events: the 1st Thematic Roundtable on Fostering Wellbeing and holding a series of meetings with mayors, officials and the media.
UNISDR’s Making Cities Resilient Campaign was a top theme of the day, which culminated in a meeting of 16 African women who are leaders at the local level in a variety of fields, including public office.
The women pledged to strengthen the already vibrant partnership of ‘practitioner mayors’ working to protect their citizens and towards building a safer urban tomorrow.
