The objective of the proposed grant is to further strengthen and scale the participation of local workers and citizens in gathering disaster risk information for World Bank operations teams and government clients. This proposal is timely given the need to continue to generate key information to understand risk while dealing with the effects of COVID-19 on local labor market dynamics requiring a respect of social distance and the creation of new local earning opportunities.
