Apply nowWho can become a member?
Apply nowMembership is open to all civil society organisations who work in disaster risk reduction or have an interest in strengthening the resilience of communities. Becoming a member organisation is straightforward and free. There are no annual membership fees.
Once an organisation becomes a GNDR member all of its staff are eligible to access the full range of benefits and engagement opportunities.
Individuals who are engaged in disaster risk reduction but don’t work for civil society organisations can apply to be associates of the network (see below).
Associates
Apply nowIndividuals who do not work for civil society organisations, but are engaged in disaster risk reduction can apply to become associates of GNDR. For example, if you work for a government department or local authority, UN agency, university or private sector company.
Associates get all of the benefits outlined above. However, occasionally some opportunities with limited places or designed for organisations rather than individuals may only be available to full member organisations.
