Discover the key success factors to reduce the risks faced by displaced people and learn from real world examples
The Making Displacement Safer Cookbook sets out the main approaches and key ingredients needed to successfully reduce disaster risks for displaced people living in urban areas.
Based on the experiences of civil society organisations working in 11 countries, the resource aims to strengthen the capacities of NGOs and grassroots organisations.
10 best practice ‘ingredients’ have been identified and eight case studies – in the form of ‘recipes’ – demonstrate how they have been put into practice.
In advocating for the replication of the ingredients, the cookbook can also be used as a tool by civil society to influence national policies and practice on displacement.
The publication has been produced by GNDR as part of our three-year Making Displacement Safer project funded by the United States Agency for International Development’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance.
Recipes for making displacement safer
The following recipes combine the ingredients presented in this cookbook to make displaced communities safer, enhance their resilience, find durable solutions and reduce the likelihood of secondary displacement. While some of the stories may utilise the same ingredients, local contexts respond to the varied needs of local communities.
