New publications
This publication provides an overview of Plan’s child-centred disaster risk reduction work. It presents the results and recommendations of a five-year programme and should be essential reading for anyone concerned about reducing the impacts of disasters and particularly valuable for development and humanitarian practitioners, donors and policy makers. It includes a series of case studies illustrating how child-centred DRR supports the delivery of the Hyogo Framework’s Priorities for Action, as well as the realisation of children’s rights to education, health and participation within disaster risk contexts.
The main report was written by Laetitia Antonowicz, Allison Anderson and Louise Wetheridge, Education for
Change Ltd, as part of Plan UK’s final evaluation of its child centred DRR work funded by the UK government
(DFID).
