'Local voices, Global choices for successful Disaster risk reduction'


This video with case studies from Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Honduras and Mozambique, shows that vulnerability reduction at the community level is possible. By listening to and harnessing the energy of local people, combined with the support of CBOs, NGOs, donors, scientists & government, so much can be achieved.
This film is aimed at policy and decision makers and asks them to look beyond the confines of current protocol and policy documents and challenges them to ask themselves what they can practically do to promote the accountable partnerships, policies and financial commitments which are necessary to achieve real reduction in
disaster losses.
