Strengthening
risk-informed development

The Global Initiative on Disaster Risk Management (GIDRM) supports partner countries in their efforts against extreme events, to safeguard development and to protect lives. To minimize risk creation and foster resilience of people and infrastructure, stakeholders across all sectors need to be strengthened in their capacities to understand risks and apply approaches to fully integrate disaster and climate risks in decision-making processes.

In its fourth phase (2023-2026), GIDRM IV aims to strengthen the application of DRM-approaches as integrated solutions in selected development cooperation projects and their partner structures.
