Disaster Risk Reduction: Promoting Resilience and Enhancing Capacity for Humanitarian Action within UNICEF UNICEF is committed to strengthening its involvement in systematic reduction of vulnerability to disasters and conflicts through risk-informed country programmes that help build resilience. First, systematic vulnerability reduction is key to more effectively preventing and responding to humanitarian crises. Second, it provides unique opportunities to improve the links between humanitarian response and development programmes and to promote human security. Third, it helps to promote rapid recovery and build community resilience to shocks that also affect children. This project intends to build capacities and deploy technical assistance to advance DRR in risk prone countries. Target groups are: UN country teams and national governments in countries where the Capacity for Disaster Risk Initiative CADRI (UNDP, OCHA, UNICEF, WFP, FAO, WHO, IFRC, GFDRR) is active, UNICEF programme staff and implementation partners HFA2/WCDRR/SDG process owners (to give the Children’s Charter on DRR a voice) SDC and UNICEF programme staff (lessons learnt workshop, based on country case studies)
