The Global Network of Civil Society Organisations for Disaster Reduction (GNDR) has expanded in the past year to 1,850 organisations across 129 countries committed to building the resilience of vulnerable people and preventing disasters. The role of civil society is crucial, especially in the context of challenges posed by Covid-19, conflicts in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, as well as increasing humanitarian disasters and climate change.
The annual report on GNDR has now been published, focusing on “collaboration over competition” and South-South cooperation. Additionally, the Global Summit for Disaster Risk Reduction took place in Nairobi in February, attended by members, policymakers, and donors.
