Mission

IEDM Research Field targets to reduce the gap between knowledge and practice through pro-active field-level, community-based project implementation.

Working closely with the governments, non-governments (NGO/ NPO), international organizations (United Nations and other bilateral and multilateral development agencies) and regional bodies, this research field is developing a unique process-oriented participatory approach of environment and disaster management through direct involvement and ownership of the community.

The organization has no registered commitments.

allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
