Key takeaway A law was passed in 2025 to provide a framework for this new authority.
A new authority has been established in Eswatini to manage disaster risk. This change reflects a shift towards preparing for disasters before they happen. The government has moved away from only responding to emergencies after they occur.
The new approach recognizes that disasters can be predicted and managed with proper planning. A law was passed in 2025 to provide a framework for this new authority.
