Analysis of the conditions and capacities for Disaster Risk Reduction
DARA conducted a new country case study of the Risk Reduction Index (RRI) in Burkina Faso. The Risk Reduction Index aims to help governments, civil society and other actors understand the underlying risks that render communities more vulnerable to natural hazards, so that they can be addressed from a more integrated perspective. The case study provides an analysis of the capacities and conditions for Disaster Risk Reduction in Burkina Faso across four risk drivers: environment and natural resources; socioeconomic context; land use and the built environment; and governance.
