Risk Reduction Projects
Published on 1 October 2007
What is it?
Having gathered models and good practice in risk reduction, ECB agencies piloted innovative, collaborative DRR models and approaches in Ethiopia, Guatemala and Indonesia.
Why is it useful?
Capturing the practices and lessons learned from all four projects will enable analysis of which processes work in which contexts, and clearly identify any adaptations that need to be made.
Reports documenting all activities undertaken and lessons learned in these pilot projects were published in October 2007 to coincide with World Disaster Reduction Day. As well as describing in detail the pilot projects and capacity building activities, these reports discuss the learning from the processes of internal and external collaboration central to the success of the pilots but new to many of the participating country offices. They also set out the next steps the ECB groups in each pilot country plan to take to further develop and strengthen their collaboration at field level.
The Country Reports are complemented by an Overview Report synthesizing lessons from all three pilot countries, and setting that learning in a wider sectoral context.
These publications have been disseminated widely, both through the ECB website and via important thematic portals including ReliefWeb and the ISDR Global Network.
