Advisory services

CADRI draws upon the expertise and experience of its three core organizations to offer strategic, programme and technical guidance. Each situation is unique: once we fully understand what is required, we can offer tailored advice. CADRI provides advisory services at global, national and regional levels.

Strategic guidance

CADRI works with governments, national institutions and UN entities seeking to incorporate capacity for DRR into their development strategies. We offer assistance throughout: during initial analysis, formulation of response, implementation and evaluation.

Programme guidance

CADRI works with governments, national institutions and UN entities to develop new programmes and to ensure that existing programmes have incorporated capacity development for DRR.

Technical guidance

CADRI offers advice and guidance on technical aspects (the practical ‘how to’) of capacity development to all DRR practitioners.

Access to advisory services

Governments, national institutions and all UN entities involved in DRR may access CADRI advisory services. UN entities at regional and headquarter levels and other regional organizations may also ask for advice and guidance. Please contact us to find out more.
