bangladesh (DiDRR)

Persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups are at higher risk of death, injury and additional impairments, because of exclusion from disaster risk reduction policies, plans and programs. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, 2015-2030 support that perspectives of persons with diverse disabilities should be integrated into and their participation should be ensured at all decision-making processing concerning all stages of disaster risk reduction.

To contribute to providing solutions to this issue, APCD has included a new section on our website in order to share useful information on Disability-inclusive Disaster Risk Reduction (DiDRR). We would like to disseminate good practices for families and communities to effectively cope and respond, and to build up resilient future.

We also believe there are many good practices in many countries and communities which could share their lessons learned which will be of benefit and knowledge creation for other areas and countries. We invite all good practices and lessons learned to be shared in our website. The following email addresses: hiroko@apcdfoundation.org and watcharapol@apcdfoundation.org  are ready to receive them. We would be happy to select the appropriate ones to share on our website.
