With support from the Rockefeller Foundation, the Global Disaster Preparedness Center (GDPC) and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) brought together representatives from 15 Red Cross/Red Crescent (RC/RC) national societies to share learning and insights on building disaster preparedness and resilience in urban settings in Africa.

The workshop looked at existing experience within the RC/RC and at where national societies want to be in the future in supporting communities to achieve resilience in urban settings.
