WELCOME TO THE DISASTER MANAGEMENT DOCUMENT AND COLLABORATION HUB FOR CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANISATIONS

The Civil Society Sector Sub-Committee (CSSSC) is a sector-specific sub-grouping of the CDM Coordination and Harmonization Council (CHC) which was established as an outcome of the 2007 CDEMA Partners’ Consultation on comprehensive disaster management (CDM). It was proposed that a CDM Governance Mechanism should be established to address governance of the implementation process within the context of stakeholder management.

This website is a means for the CSSSC to better reach out to and be accessed by all the various civil society organizations mandated to address the issues of increasing community capacities to reduce disaster risk.

Here, we welcome involvement from civil society organisations, to download our resource documents, share their own, and mutually benefit from our collective information.
