Smartphone Edutainment application

“KNOW-DRR” Smartphone Edutainment application aims to present an innovative interactive tool for Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) for the educational community and students in Africa and around the world.

This application builds students’ knowledge and skills in DRR, and it enables them to analyze and monitor disaster risks, vulnerabilities, and capacities in their communities, to better protect themselves, and to share their informed views to influence disaster management governance and planning.

The Smartphone application was developed under a Japanese Funds-in-Trust Project on “Strengthening Disaster Prevention Approaches in Eastern Africa – STEDPEA”, UNESCO Regional Office for Eastern Africa. This Application was developed under technical cooperation and collaboration with UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction - Africa, African Union-DREA, ISC-ROA, and African Youth Advisory Board/ DRR.
