About Us

The Global Network of Civil Society Organisations for Disaster Reduction is a major international network of civil society organisations committed to working together to influence and implement disaster risk reduction policy and practice at the local, national and international levels. 600 people from 300 organisations in 90 countries are already involved. Our strength lies in the commitment, diversity of skills and experience and extensive reach of our membership, particularly at the local level across virtually every region of the world.

Members work for a broad range of organisations ranging from local or community-based groups, national and international NGOs, through to academic and research institutions. Many within the network serve on their own national and regional networks, alliances and associations.
