Inclusive Community Disaster Risk Reduction And Management (ICDRM)

Disasters do not only result in short-term devastation, but also threaten long-term development gains. By impacting the social sectors, they exacerbate inequalities of income and opportunity, thereby leaving poor and marginalized people more vulnerable to future disasters and transmitting poverty over generations. Records of major disasters in South and South-East Asia (floods, earthquakes and cyclones) show that the social sectors suffer impacts that perpetuate inequalities of opportunity. The series of knowledge management products from the Inclusive Community Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (ICDRM) project was firstly developed by Plan International Bangladesh, Plan International Philippines and Plan International Asia-Pacific Hub.
