The Regional Response Mechanism (RRM) is a network of CDEMA Participating States (PSs), national, regional and international disaster stakeholders through which external response and relief operations in support of an impacted CDEMA Participating State (PS) are coordinated. 

The map to the right displays the sub-regional focal points. The mechanism is sub-divided into four (4) sub-regions (North-western, Eastern, Central, and Southern sub-regions), to allow for better coordination of operations in all the geographical regions covered by this mechanism.
