The Disaster Management and Refugee Studies Institute (DIMARSI) of the International University of Africa -Sudan is recognizing Sudanese basic communities' best practices in disaster risk reduction, worth admiration and dissemination. Tutti Island lies in the central part of Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, and is located at the junction of the Blue Nile, the White Nile and the river Nile. Tutti Island Community has been selected as the model due to their distinguished role in fighting the repetitive devastating seasonal floods of the Nile. Theirs is a very unique experience where the community of the Island has taken upon itself to prevent flood hazard which is menacing the Island and its means of livelihoods. The paper examines this experience as a community initiative in reducing levels of vulnerability and building resilience. The paper focuses on the Island's experience in combating floods in the light of five priority areas of Hyogo framework for action to draw lessons learned as a bench mark for communities in similar conditions. The researcher conducted interviews with community leaders in a gender sensitive manner so as to explore the spirit and devotion that drive the community members. The results of the research are expected to validate the main assumption of the paper that Tutti Island example represents a success story of how a community can manage flood disasters and reduce vulnerability. |
