Share an impact story about your work

Would you like your impact story to be featured in an upcoming newsletter, on the website, in the annual report, or on social media? If yes, we’d like to hear from you.

We’re collecting stories from GNDR members who are interested in sharing their stories of impact to inspire the GNDR community.

What stories are we looking for?

It can be anything from inclusion of at risk-communities in DRR planning, doing risk-informed development in a specific context to innovative approaches to building disaster resilience. We are interested in stories that can inspire our global community. What works in one context may be replicated in another one.

Other examples of stories may include:

• Reducing hazards (eg Covid-19, floods or drought)
• Tackling risk drivers (eg climate change, conflict, gender inequality, urbanisation, forced displacement, or food and water insecurity)
• Reducing discrimination or exclusion faced by different group of people (eg women, persons with disability, older people, ethnic groups, LGBTQ+)
• Improving in community participation, decision-making process, or access to resources for development

Who is eligible to send a story?

All GNDR members are eligible to submit an impact story.
