Stories of UNICEF & child-responsive disaster risk reduction in seven counties around the world
About
UNICEF works on disaster risk reduction (DRR) in 150 countries. Child-responsive DRR prioritizes children and young people in the whole disaster management cycle, ensuring their individual and collective needs are part of policies, plans and systems. UNICEF and its partners also engage children and young people in DRR activities to strengthen and build on their innovative ideas, skills and capacities to drive solutions.
