Disaster risk reduction NGO inter-agency group learning review

This document is an outcome of the final evaluation activities of disaster risk reduction (DRR) projects carried out by five major NGOs - ActionAid, Christian Aid, Practical Action, Plan and Tearfund - funded by the UK Department for International Development (DFID). It is developed around a selection of four thematic areas for discussion: (i) choices and priorities in DRR; (ii) vulnerability and risk assessment; (iii) scaling up; and (iv) governance.

It is aimed at 'contributing to the evidence base on disaster resilience and support future learning, influencing and fundraising by synthesising and sharing learning from the portfolio of DRR projects undertaken by the group.’ It is based on a 'peer review' approach, in which each agency has offered significant lessons from its DFID-funded work to the Group for discussion, with the most common and important themes selected for inclusion as learning points in this final report.
