Ten ways to reduce disaster risk in conflicts and recurring crises

This policy brief synthesises learning related to disaster risk reduction in conflicts and recurrent crises.

Abstract

This policy brief synthesises SPARC’s learning related to disaster risk reduction (DRR) in conflicts and recurrent crises. It does not offer a comprehensive analysis of all work on this topic but rather a contribution to ongoing debates. The authors looked at all Supporting Pastoralism and Agriculture in Recurrent and Protracted Crises  (SPARC) programme publications. They distil all the findings and recommendations relevant to DRR in conflicts and recurring crises.

This work is part of the Supporting Pastoralism and Agriculture in Recurrent and Protracted Crises  (SPARC) programme.
