VACANCIES

The Network: Duryog Nivaran (DN) – South Asia Network for Disaster Mitigation was established in 1995 as a research, training and advocacy network committed to promoting disaster risk reduction in South Asia at policy and practice levels. DN aims to fill the void in cross border dialogue and experience sharing among governments and stakeholders, working in the world’s most disaster-prone region. DN has members in the South Asian region and a proven track record of managing and coordinating South Asia regional level research, pilot projects, advocacy initiatives, and policy dialogues at a regional level. The objective of the network is to strengthen national and regional organizations in South Asia and experts/ individuals interested in disaster risk reduction to carry out effective disaster risk reduction and development activities, as well as to shape the regional and global discourse on DRR through research, information sharing, advocacy campaigns, and peer learning.
The Project: The ’Strengthening Inclusive Disaster Risk Governance for Climate Resilience in Asia’ project is a 4 year consortium project, financially supported by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), with the International Rescue Committee (IRC) as the project lead in collaboration with Duryog Nivaran and Asian Disaster Reduction and Response Network (ADRRN). DN’s component of the project will focus on increasing the adaptability and resilience of communities at risk of climate change and disasters across Asia, and South Asia in particular, by working towards three mutually-reinforcing outcomes over the life of the project:

Strengthen the Duryog Nivaran network to become an effective advocate to influence duty bearers at the regional and national levels to fulfill commitments on inclusive climate change and DRR actions;
Address the power imbalances that exacerbate climate and disaster risks facing particularly vulnerable populations with intersecting needs – particularly women and girls and excluded populations;
Strengthen sustainable local-level actions to mitigate the effects of climate change and to strengthen risk governance in 5 countries in South Asia
