The overarching goal of the joint programme is to improve awareness of the health effects of climate change among the host and migrant communities in the target countries and to strengthen synergies between CCA and risk reduction in the MENA region by mainstreaming a gender-sensitive human mobility lens into national public health adaptation strategies and DRR strategies.

Result
There are three results from the joint programme. "The target countries demonstrate enhanced coherence towards migrant inclusion between public health strategies and DRR strategies and willingness to share good practices from the programme with other countries in the MENA region." Outcome 2 of this grant is focused on having a new or updated local-level public health adaptation strategy and a DRR strategy that integrate a human mobility lens including a migrant-inclusive approach in the respective target countries and states.

Output 2.3: As a good example of inclusive local-level policy making, policy makers and health institutions can access a local-level resilience strategy that incorporates a gender-responsive and human mobility-sensitive health response approach.

The project include creating a preliminary action plan, comparing it to the disaster resilience scorecard, and creating a local resilience action plan. It also requires working with the UNDRR country focal point and PUNOs to apply the public health system resilience addendum in a chosen city.
