Established in 2006, the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR) is a partnership of 32 countries and 6 international organizations committed to helping developing countries reduce their vulnerability to natural hazards and adapt to climate change. The partnership’s mission is to mainstream disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) in country development strategies by supporting a country-led and managed implementation of the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA).
GFDRR has three main business lines to achieve its development objectives at the global, regional and country levels.
- Track-I: Global and Regional Partnerships
- Track-II: Mainstreaming Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) in Development
- Track-III: Standby Recovery Financing Facility (SRFF) for Accelerated Disaster Recovery
Three initiatives that complement the three tracks and Climate Change Adapation programs are:
- South-South Cooperation Program for Disaster Risk Reduction
- The Economics of Disaster Risk Reduction
- The GFDRR Labs

GFDRR’s Partnership Charter, revised in April 2010, sets its original mission, rationale, and governance structure.
