Program Profiles offer at-a-glance overviews of GFDRR-supported programs that are reducing disaster risk and boosting resilience. These documents showcase results, key partners, as well as expected outcomes for early-stage projects.
Building Regulation for Resilience
The Building Regulation for Resilience program, an integral part of the World Bank’s broader Resilient Cities agenda, seeks to develop a new stream of activities to increase regulatory capacity and in turn promote a healthier, safer, and less risky built environment in low- and middle-income countries.
EU-South Asia Capacity Building for Disaster Risk Management Program
The EU-South Asia Capacity Building for DRM Program, launched in 2015, is a five-year program that helps build the resilience of South Asia to weather and climate-related disasters by strengthening DRM and hydromet service capacity.
Program Profile - Resilient Cities
The Resilient Cities Program aims to help cities adapt to a greater variety of changing conditions and withstand shocks as they grow increasingly vulnerable to natural hazards.
Program Profile - Disaster Recovery Framework
The Disaster Recovery Framework program gathers best-practices from a variety of stakeholders to ensure that affected countries recover efficiently and build back better after a disaster.
Program Profile - Africa Hydromet
The Regional Framework Program to Improve Hydrometeorological Services in Sub-Saharan Africa aims to improve hydromet services on the national, sub-regional, and continental levels in order to increase the accuracy of weather forecasts that can save lives and livelihoods.
Program Profile - Safer Schools
The Global Program for Safer Schools (GPSS) aims to make school facilities and the communities they serve more resilient to natural hazards, and minimize the resulting negative educational outcomes.
Program Profile - SISRI
Through the GFDRR-supported Small Island State Resilience Initiative, the World Bank and partners will work with the SISRI countries to deliver coherent and predictable funding to reduce climate and disaster risks to their people, economies and ecosystems.
