Coopera??ves and associa??ons of informal sector workers could become key play- ers in global efforts to alleviate extreme poverty and enhance disaster resilience in urban slums and informal se??lements. By engaging these worker-led organiza??ons in community-based efforts to reduce disaster risk, the urban poor who live in in- formal se??lements and work informal jobs can exert their collec??ve power to over- come their social and economic marginaliza??on. Such a strategy can build safer communi??es and lead to the extension of worker rights and social protec??ons to those toiling in the informal economy.
