What challenges and opportunities characterize disaster risk reduction at the national level? How can needs be estimated during disasters in order to improve humanitarian responses? What is needed to ensure health system resilience during extreme weather events?
These are some of the questions that will be discussed at the webinar, with examples from disaster risk governance in Mozambique, the humanitarian assistance field, and health system responses to floods in Cambodia. EBA are launching three new Development Dissertation Briefs (DDBs) – summaries of new doctoral dissertations.
Jenni Koivisto, Anneli Eriksson and Dell Saulnier will present their work. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to learn from recent development research at Swedish universities!
