Content: | Innovative Initiatives in Disaster Risk Reduction - Applied Research by Young Practitioners from South, South East and East Asia Exploring ways to encourage a new generation of actors to lead disaster risk reduction initiatives in developing countries, the ProVention Consortium launched a Programme of Applied Research Grants for Disaster Risk Reduction in 2002 and conducted a second round of grants in 2005. Globally, more than 100 small grants (USD 5000 or less) have been awarded for 6-9 months of applied research on disaster risk reduction.
