Words to action: implementing the Hyogo Framework for Action through gendered community based disaster management

This publication puts into context the Hyogo Trust Fund Gendered Community Based Disaster Management (CBDM) project activities in relation to the five Priorities of Actions of the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA).

The publication begins with the introduction of global perspectives and proceeds to the introduction of guiding principles and activities of the United Nations Centre for Regional Development (UNCRD) CBDM projects. Further sections are organized to correlate Gendered CBDM project activities with each of the five Priorities for Action identified by the HFA. The chart provided at the end of the publication shows how each of these community-based initiatives contributes to meeting the priorities of action towards the implementation of the HFA.
