Since its inception in 2006, the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR) has played a pivotal role in supporting countries and communities in understanding, managing, and mitigating their disaster risks. Committed to going beyond building back better, GFDRR has championed the importance of “building better before,” blunting the catastrophic impact of disasters. We take a closer look at the latest progress and results in the fiscal year 2024 annual report.
