چکیده

Abstract Result-oriented research can uncover hidden flood management obstacles and propose solutions that, if combined with political will, appropriate technology, resources, overcome the majority of Africa’s future calamities. In view this, it is critical to examine researchers' findings on hazard management, particularly now that continent struggling COVID-19 other hazards. This study employed a systematic review approach critically analyze 103 contextually detailed studies set criteria were not only meant keep focus floods pandemic but also understand context managing during hazards at same time continent. I found authors strongly recommend how institutions should create non-structural enabling environments for Also, researchers paid little attention recommending ecosystem-based measures in Africa. Future different countries Africa are preparing manage multiple hazards, including comparative assessment strengths weaknesses individual countries’ planning preparation.
