Welcome to the Disaster Risk Reduction platform!

Natural disasters are causing human suffering and hampering economic development at an increasing rate around the world. The Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) has been working in the field of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) for many years.

Visit the platform and get an insight into current activities and important background information. The platform provides a comprehensive overview of concepts and strategies relevant to SDC. Selected tools, publications and training opportunities in the field of DRR are presented as well.

Practitioners, primarily SDC staff in Swiss Cooperation Offices and in all departments of the Headquarters as well as their international and local partners are encouraged to participate in the network and to share their experiences.
