In the presentation the PMI shared how they started the project and how they could encourage the audience to take action and raise awarness with humanitarian values through the digital platform. They also shared the impacts of the project, such as enhancing the PMI's brand awarness to general public.

📢 Every two years, IFRC publishes the World Disasters Report to pay attention to the most important issue in disasters around the world. The World Disasters Report 2022 was launched in 30th of January 2023 under the theme of “Trust, Equity and Local Action: Lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic to avert the next global crisis.” The World Disasters Report 2022 calls for greater investment in domestic and local preparedness: preparedness to prevent, detect early and respond quickly to future outbreaks and other shocks and stresses. It underscores the importance of preparedness based on the principles of equity, trust, and local action, and recommends tangible approaches to turn these principles into reality. To ensure we do not repeat the same mistakes, the critical lessons from this pandemic must be embedded into national laws, policies, budgets, and actions, and promising approaches should be scaled up. At the global level, we will have several historical opportunities in the coming years to the global health architecture, including epidemic and pandemic management. 📝 To read the full report, please visit the link in bio. #IFRC #WorldDisastersReport #COVID19 #Trust #Equity #LocalAction
