what we aim to do
Objectives
The SeDAR program aims to equip local governments as well as community leaders with the skills and know-how to build a disaster risk reduction (DRR) program at the grassroots level, from the bottom up. This community-oriented approach towards DRR is an important step towards building disaster-resilient communities.
This program takes a unique approach to community engagement by:
- instilling a science-based understanding of disaster risks among the community leaders, members and local authorities, and
- having them work together to develop DRR activities and programs that are best suited to their understanding and needs.
