By not considering disaster risk in development planning, new risks could be unintentionally created or existing ones exacerbated through investments in infrastructure and public services, and through improper planning and regulation.Thus it is essential that the process of development planning identies and analyzes the underlying causes of risk, and factors in measures for risk reduction. By mainstreaming disaster risk reduction into national development processes, disaster risk considerations can be made an integral part of development processes, especially in priority sectors such as agriculture, education, health, housing and roads.This course has been developed to enhance the capacity of government officials, development partners, and stakeholders involved in development planning to mainstream disaster risk reduction into development activities and practices.DURATION5 days.COURSE Training Center: Datastat Training Center, Nairobi, KenyaStart Date: 12102018End Date: 12142018Fee: Ksh 80000, $900APPLY ONLINE: https:bit.ly2CJGTpXTIMETABLE: http:datastatresearch.orgtop_courses.phpWEBSITE: www.datastatresearch.orgEMAIL: [email protected] : 254724527104
