and other education/communication spaces.
It has a joint initiative with the UNDP Bureau for Crisis Prevention and Recovery
which seeks to integrate the gender approach into risk management. To do so,
it has suggested a first initiative that would lead to articulating knowledge and
awareness between both areas by forming a virtual community, developing
conceptual frameworks, methodological tools and developing internal and
counterpart capacities (a virtual course).
