• 2022 expenditure: EUR 1.3 million The Indian Ocean Regional Intervention Platform
(PIROI) is a French Red Cross regional disaster
risk management programme. In 2022, more
than 200 metric tons of relief items were sup-
plied in regional and local warehouses, and
stocks and personnel were deployed within Red
Cross and Red Crescent response operations in
Madagascar and Mozambique.
In addition, five studies and research projects
delivered accurate knowledge of existing
situations, analysis of gaps and operational
recommendations within the context of the
Indian Ocean.
Priorities in 2022 included contingency stocks;
protection, gender and inclusion; school-led
disaster risk reduction activities in Madagascar;
psychosocial impact of COVID-19 on volunteers
in Comoros; and ancestral knowledge and disas-
ter risk reduction in Madagascar.
In terms of training, 33 sessions were organized
allowing 842 individuals to gain knowledge and
increase their capacities on disaster risk reduc-
tion, prevention, methodology or preparedness.
Additionally, 62 public events were organized on
cyclonic and flooding risks reaching nearly 4,000
individuals. In partnership with the Ministry of
Education, 21,500 students attended risk sen-
sitization classes. An international conference
was organized on disaster risk reduction in the
Indian Ocean gathering researchers and opera-
tional actors.
