➡️Back to the DRR and Recovery Community
Generally in DRR and recovery, UNDP collaborates closely with UN agencies, international organizations, civil society, and other stakeholders such as UNDRR, WB/GFDRR, ODI, IFRC and others. UNDP is also the Managing Agent of CADRI, a member of the Governing Council of the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI), and has a observer or member function in several other partnerships.
Strengthening Disaster Risk Governance and Recovery Capacities
A part of the Intra-ACP Disaster Risk Reduction Programme funded under the 11th European Development Fund (EDF), the Strengthening Disaster Risk Governance and Recovery Capacities project is a collaborative effort between the UN Development Programme (UNDP), the European Union (EU), the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR), and the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS). This joint program is dedicated to enhancing disaster risk governance, strengthening recovery capacities, and building resilience in vulnerable communities. By scaling-up community-based disaster risk reduction, enhancing capacity building activities, and conducting post-disaster needs assessments, the project aims to pave the way for a safer and more resilient future for communities facing disasters.

Capacity for Disaster Reduction Initiative (CADRI)
CADRI is a global partnership composed of 20 humanitarian and development organizations who came together to build a unique facility for countries to access expertise in disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation.
By pooling our members’ resources, knowledge, and practices and leveraging each other’s comparative advantages, we provide countries with a one-stop shop mechanism to mobilize expertise in risk reduction in various areas ranging from agriculture to environment, education, cultural heritage, human mobility, infrastructure, health, nutrition, and water and sanitation.
Get Airports Ready for Disaster (GARD)
Get Airports Ready for Disaster (GARD) is a public-private partnership between the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Deutsche Post DHL and Airports Council International (ACI) that addresses the need for enhanced preparedness and response capacity of airports in disaster situations. GARD helps airports and disaster managers conduct an assessment of airport capability to manage the influx of humanitarian aid and personnel in disaster response situations and develop an action plan to increase the response capacity in case of disaster and to guide response operations at the airport.
The Sahel Resilience Project
Funded by Sweden, this regional project aims to foster risk-informed solutions for sustainable development in Western Sahel and Lake Chad Basin countries: Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, and Senegal.
The initiative Strengthening Capacities for Disaster Risk Reduction and Adaptation for Resilience in the Sahel Region: fostering risk-informed solutions for sustainable development (or Sahel Resilience Project) addresses regulatory, political, and budgetary frameworks of disaster risk governance at the regional and national levels in the Sahel region, to promote recovery processes that take into account the underlying risks of disaster and climate change; and urban risk management.
