Why advocate for disaster risk reduction?
The booklet “Why advocate for disaster risk reduction”, covering the issues advocacy and disaster risk reduction (DRR), is jointly produced by Tearfund and World Vision International. The booklet is aimed at organisations which are already involved in DRR, but have not yet considered an advocacy approach. It sets out why advocacy on DRR is important, why governments should be held accountable, and how civil society can influence them.
Currently, English and French version (Pourquoi plaidoyer pour la réduction des risques de catastrophes?) are available through Tearfund web site, and the hard copies will be available in January 2008. Spanish version is coming soon.
