Working papers
A first round of ProVention Applied Research Grants for Disaster Risk Reduction was launched by the World Bank in cooperation with three collaborating centers: the Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC), Cranfield Disaster Management Centre (CDMC) and the University of Wisconsin Disaster Management Center (UW DMC). The programme's objective is to support innovative risk management projects dedicated to reducing disaster risk and developed by disaster professionals in developing countries. Sixty-five individuals and/or teams won grants of up to US$5,000 in 2003. Awards were granted to students and young professionals from the following 27 countries: Argentina, Armenia, Bangladesh, Barbados, Bhutan, Bulgaria, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Georgia, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Mexico, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, Senegal, South Africa, Sudan, Tajikistan, Turkey, Uzbekistan, Venezuela, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe.
After a series of independent and peer reviews, fifteen projects were selected as representative of the most innovative and sustainable activities; summaries and lessons learned from these projects comprise this document. Following those papers, there is a complete list of all sixty-five projects with contact information for those involved in each.
