Objectives
Scope existing disaster management policy and practice and existing disaster risk reduction/preparedness programmes or public policy in partner countries:
- What disaster risk reduction and resilience building programmes currently exist for urban contexts?
- What assumptions are made about children and young people in these policies and programmes?
- What is the role of the different actors, from civil protection agencies to schools and voluntary institutions, in designing or implementing protection plans and building resilience?
- To what degree do children and young people participate in disaster management?
- Are a range of different cultural perspectives taken into account? For example, cultures of disability, social class, disadvantage, gender, ethnicity, marginalisation.
- How are these cultures perceived as a) strengths? and b) vulnerabilities?
