Demonstration Countries

In a few countries, the GRIP will demonstrate that information on disaster risks and losses can be applied to improve risk management decisions and development outcomes. The specific decision contexts to be supported, such as those identified above, will be identified based on international, national and local priorities. Demonstrations will be undertaken with the explicit understanding that a multi-stakeholder client base agrees to participate and intends to use the risk analyses to inform the identified priority policies, plans and decisions. Governments and local institutions are the key partners, supported by international agencies as appropriate.
