OVERCOME consortium include world-leading organisations to develop state-of-the-art research plan that integrates digital innovations in natural hazard and risk predictions in order to develop intervention strategies for strengthening the resilience of vulnerable communities against climate hazards and health impacts.The partners from the UK, Ghana, Malawi, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe will contribute knowledge and skills in climate and meteorology, hydrology and water resources, flood forecasting, droughts, water quality, epidemiology and public health, smart technologies, data science, environmental science, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), risk communication, disaster management, social and policy sciences, and socio-economics. The collaboration will combine multidisciplinary knowledge to develop a novel holistic framework to forecast the impact of floods/droughts and associated disease outbreaks. OVERCOME also has strong support from global experts and local major stakeholders. The external partners will steer research direction throughout the project, contribute their complementary knowledge, and engage the team with additional partners through their strong international networking.OVERCOME will organise a kick-off meeting in one African partner's country to (1) brief our research ideas to the key stakeholders in African countries; (2) allow for all parties involved to learn from each other the capacity that each institution can contribute to the OVERCOME consortium; (3) understand the expectations that the stakeholders have on the project; (4) identify the knowledge gaps in research and the extra expertise required within the consortium.Following the kick-off meeting, the lead partners in Ghana, Malawi, Mozambique and Zimbabwe will further reach out to additional partners in their countries to complement the skills within the consortium. Networking and Capacity Building Workshops (NCBWs) will be organised to incorporate local stakeholders for co-designing research methodology and outcomes to ensure that the project outputs will be adopted by stakeholders for real-world practices to deliver long-term impact to communities. Local Stakeholder Engagement Workshops will be held for local stakeholders to review and feedback on the final second stage proposal. The participants will evaluate the objectives and planned tasks from WGs for shaping research topics to benefit most stakeholders and vulnerable communities. The engagement can also examine and guarantee the feasibility of proposed solutions.We will also synergise with other consortia, projects, and professional groups to further strengthen the consortium, enhance the research vision, collect data for the full research, and widen the impact from the project.

克服联盟包括世界领先的组织，以制定最先进的研究计划，将自然灾害和风险预测中的数字创新结合起来，以制定干预战略，加强脆弱社区抵御气候灾害和健康影响的能力。来自英国、加纳、马拉维、莫桑比克和津巴布韦的合作伙伴将提供气候和气象、水文和水资源、洪水预报、干旱、水质、流行病学和公共卫生、智能技术、数据科学、环境科学、水、环境卫生和个人卫生（WASH）、风险沟通、灾害管理、社会和政策科学以及社会经济学方面的知识和技能。这项合作将结合多学科知识，制定一个新的整体框架，以预测洪水/干旱和相关疾病暴发的影响。克服还得到了全球专家和当地主要利益相关者的大力支持。外部合作伙伴将在整个项目中引导研究方向，贡献他们的补充知识，并通过他们强大的国际网络与其他合作伙伴合作。克服将在一个非洲合作伙伴的国家组织一次启动会议，以便(1)向非洲国家的主要利益相关者介绍我们的研究想法；(2)允许所有相关方相互学习每个机构可以为克服联盟做出贡献的能力；(3)了解干系人对项目的期望；(4)确定研究中的知识差距和联盟内所需的额外专业知识。在启动会议之后，加纳、马拉维、莫桑比克和津巴布韦的牵头合作伙伴将进一步与各自国家的其他合作伙伴接触，以补充联盟内部的技能。将组织网络和能力建设研讨会（NCBWs），让当地利益相关者共同设计研究方法和结果，以确保项目产出将被利益相关者采用，用于现实世界的实践，为社区带来长期影响。将举办本地持份者参与工作坊，让本地持份者就第二阶段的最终建议进行检讨和反馈。参与者将评估工作组的目标和计划任务，以形成研究主题，使大多数利益攸关方和弱势群体受益。审计业务还可以审查和保证所建议的解决方案的可行性。我们亦会与其他研究团体、研究计划及专业团体合作，进一步加强合作，提升研究视野，为全面研究收集资料，并扩大研究计划的影响。
