Conference on “Working Together for Disaster Risk Reduction” Islamabad, (8 th October 2009) Mainstreaming of Disaster Risk Reduction

Conference on “Working Together for Disaster Risk Reduction” Islamabad, (8 th October 2009) Why Mainstreaming ? Disasters set back development Disasters impact various sectors like Agriculture, Health, Education, Infrastructure, Housing etc. This causes diversion of resources to rehabilitation and reconstruction and sometime postponement/cancellation of development programs Development can also create disaster risks DRR considerations not featuring into project design, thus increases the risks, and increasing the negative impact of disasters on the socio economic set up of the country
