Track II - Mainstreaming Disaster Risk Reduction

BACKGROUND

The Disaster Risk Reduction Mainstreaming Program (Track II) provides ex-ante assistance to developing countries to mainstream and expand disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) activities. Under this business line, GFDRR works closely with the World Bank regional teams, UN agencies, and client governments to integrate DRR in national poverty reduction strategies and country development agendas. Sub-business lines supporting ex-ante programs include: Risk Assessment, Risk Reduction, Risk Financing, and Climate Change Adaptation.
