Launch of the 2nd South Asia Disaster Report, published by Duryog Nivaran and Practical Action
The South Asia Disaster Report 2008 - Disaster and Development in South Asia: Connects & disconnects was launched at the Indigenous Knowledge session on the third day of the Global Platform conference. This is the second South Asia Disaster Report and is an analytical review of the DRR scenarios in South Asia with a view to move the theory into practice. Salvano Briceño, , who was at the launch commented on the timeliness of the theme, saying the theme of this report was more or less the theme of this whole platform, that is the ‘connects & disconnects’ of development – disaster linkages and this is what we need to figure out, to move ahead.
