Solidar Switzerland is a non-governmental organisation (NGO) whose purpose is to assist disadvantaged, persecuted and oppressed people. It supports processes of sustainable development contributing to reduce poverty, re-establish social justice, to respect human and labour rights and to promote democratic participation in decision-making. In the wake of natural disasters in poor regions it provides Humanitarian Aid connecting direct disaster relief with medium-term reconstruction and prevention measures to alleviate the effects of future disasters.
Besides mainstreaming DRR in its long term and humanitarian projects Solidar Switzerland also carries out focused DRR projects which aim at improving preparedness of particularly prone communities (i.e. in El Salvador).
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
