PROJECT SUMMARY:

Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR) and 2030 Agenda place
risk management central to resilience. Risk prevention and reduction are
increasingly recognized as central to development alongside an ongoing
emphasis on preparedness for response in the SFDRR. At the same time, a
broadened understanding of risk management, under the umbrella of
resilience, is proving challenging to governments. The challenges lie in
