disaster risk reduction

My work at in Malawi is primarily agricultural, mostly because 85% of people here are subsistence farmers, but my actual role is in EI's Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) program. There is a series of DRR videos online with some footage from our projects in Malawi. (David Kamchacha in the video is one of our DRR partners in the Malawi Churches Partnership Program)
  1. Local Voices, Global Choices
  2. Breaking the Cycle: Good Practice Principles for DRR
  3. Disasters are a Development Concern (view below)


A collaborative project between a number of international agencies and their local partner organisations, this set of 3 videos includes a wide range of good practice examples from international and local agencies working on community based disaster risk reduction in high-risk areas in the global south.
