A key highlight was the official launch of the MHVRA study reports, reinforcing efforts to strengthen climate resilience and disaster preparedness in these regions. The event concluded with appreciation for the contributions of UN-Habitat, district authorities, and stakeholders, reaffirming NDMA’s commitment to proactive disaster risk reduction and sustainable urban development.
