Jusikia Salvador: Addressing Disasters and Building Support in São Tomé and Príncipe

Jukisia Dayssy Borga Salvador (Director of Budget, Sao Tome and Principe) talks about the challenges São Tomé and Príncipe has faced, including severe floods in late 2021 that caused landslides and extensive damage, compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic and energy crisis. The country also experienced a significant dengue fever outbreak in 1992. To address these crises, initial efforts focused on identifying and supporting affected populations. Jukisia highlights the importance of capacity building and support provided by programs like the Oxford Executive Education Program on Climate and Disaster Risk Finance, that are crucial for the country's disaster response and recovery efforts.
