Mission & Goals
GNDR is a network of Civil Society Organisations from the across the world with the aim of helping local communities build resilience against disaster, whether it would be natural or man-made, along with implementing practices that lower disaster risk. We connect frontline civil society organisations with national and international policymaking institutions and governments. We influence policies and practices by amplifying the voices of people most at risk. Our membership is more than 2,000 CSOs, and membership provides opportunities for collaboration, capacity building, and networking. GNDR's goals for 2020-2025 are: 1) Strengthen the collaboration, solidarity and mobilisation of civil society organisations 2) Champion a localisation movement 3) Strive for risk-informed development These will be addressed through the risk lenses of: Climate Change, Conflict, Gender inequality, Food and water insecurity, Urbanisation, and Forced Displacement.

Communication Activities
GNDR has concluded a project under the Global Climate Action (GCCA+) on Ecosystems based approaches towards disaster reduction funded by the European Commission Department for International Development. In consortium with 25 organisations, GNDR is receiving funding from EU’s HORIZON programme. Over 48 months the ‘Human-Tech Nexus - Building a Safe Haven to cope with Climate Extremes’ project will promote the ‘best set’ of trans-disciplinary risk management tools and approaches for use across Europe. Integrating and leveraging the consortium members multidisciplinary experience, the project will identify innovative disaster risk solutions that account for potential future extreme climate events. GNDR is part of the working groups facilitated by CONCORD. GNDR is also involved in meetings hosted by NGO Voice but are not members of that particular network. GNDR takes part in the FPA working group meetings in the policy forum for development (PFD). GNDR also takes part in the European Development Days GNDR also shares our policy call to action messages with our European donors (SIDA, SDC) and prospective donors such as NORAD
