Disaster Risk Management through Partnerships in Sri Lanka |
|
With the established disaster management framework and the institutional structures in Sri Lanka this project’s primary aim is to develop partnerships and collaborative programmes with other agencies engaged in socio economic development activities. This can be achieved through providing tools and approaches for mainstreaming disaster risk reduction into development planning and creating awareness among the general public on affordable and sustainable risk reduction technologies. Strengthening national and sub-national level platforms for collaborative risk reduction initiatives and promoting partnerships towards creating safer schools and hospitals will contribute towards the vision of ‘Safer Sri Lanka’. Engagement of the public, private and non governmental sector stakeholders in mainstreaming will strengthen the outreach capacity of the key government institutions involved in promoting risk reduction concepts and will contribute to create a culture of collaborative actions for risk reduction.
