About GADRRRES
GADRRRES is a platform that brings together UN agencies, NGOs, international and regional networks active in mainstreaming DRR in the education sector. It aims to strengthen coordination, increase knowledge and advocate around the Comprehensive School Safety framework.
This framework is an approach to reducing risks from all hazards to the education sector by addressing three pillars of school safety:
- Safe learning facilities
- School disaster management
- Risk reduction and resilience education
Members of the Alliance work together to advance the school safety agenda. They support the Worldwide Initiative for Safe Schools (WISS), a government-led partnership that aim to secure political commitment for safe schools globally.
