The benefits of being part of GNDR

GNDR is working hard towards reducing risk and increasing the resilience of the most vulnerable by:

• Strengthening the way GNDR members work together
  Enhancing engagement between civil society and other key stakeholders
  Communicating the day-to-day reality of life for people most at risk.

All this translates into how GNDR, as a network, facilitates member's interaction, helps them with advocacy efforts on different platforms at all levels, and supports our organisations working at the frontline with local risk profiles, and the implementation of action and learning programmes.
