Implemented in Fiji, Kiribati, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu, with complementing strong regional and global components over a period of 4 years from 2021 to 2025, the Women's Resilience to Disasters (WRD) programme demonstrates the value of integrated, locally-led, gender transformative approaches. By placing women’s leadership, knowledge, and priorities at the centre of DRR, WRD reimagines how disaster risk is understood and managed.
