Project name: Towards Developing a Strategic Strengthening Data Management Foundation for Disaster Risk Preparedness in Belize

The project aims to enhance urban planning in Belize’s coastal areas by utilizing satellite imagery to improve building data and hazard assessment.

It establishes a risk-informed land-use database and trains Lands and Survey Department staff in long-term data management.

A key focus includes storm surge modelling, resilience building for vulnerable coastal communities, and integrating gender equality and social inclusion into planning practices, ensuring sustainable development while reducing risks in disaster-prone zones.
