Los desastres naturales pueden deshacer años de avances en desarrollo. Construir viviendas más seguras ante desastres es clave para proteger a las familias, preservar sus medios de vida y garantizar que nadie se quede sin un techo que le cobije. 🏡 go.undp.org/xUW

No UN agency is an island.   @UN_STFA brings UN agencies together around shared priorities, combining expertise, mandates & solutions to respond to the interconnected needs of communities.   That’s what #DeliveringAsOne looks like in practice. #STFAat5 #Hamdeli
