Linking poverty reduction and disaster risk management

This study looks at the connection between poverty reduction and disaster risk management and it sees their inter linkage as essential for sustainable development. It proceeds from a complex notion of poverty that is not confined to the economic component, but also encompasses participation, education and health. The study seeks to show how disaster risk management and poverty reduction can be made to complement each other, and suggest ways of linking the two themes (risk analysis, livelihoods approach).
