As a CDEMA Participating State, the DMCA on Montserrat was identified as a Technical Representative on the Committee.

The aim of the two-day meeting is to review and update the work programme of the CSSSC; create and endorse a plan of action for the implementation of the Work Programme and provide relevant updates from each CSSSC member on efforts to achieve results under the Regional Outcomes of Priority Area 4 of the CDM Strategy – Community Resilience.

The meeting will also provide an opportunity for exploring synergies and other relevant projects being undertaken within CDEMA’s 19 Participating States.

The Civil Society Sector Sub-Committee (CSSSC) is a subcommittee of the Comprehensive Disaster Management Strategy (CDM) Coordination and Harmonization Council (CDM CHC) and has the responsibility of guiding CDM implementation in the Civil Society Sector.
