When disasters are divorced from development

29 November 2006 13:00-14:30 (GMT+00) - Public event, London

  • The fourth and final meeting in this series on 'Disasters and Development' examined the often neglected issue of managing emergency relief funding, and the accountability of donors for the assistance they provide, especially given that donor activity is often driven by the media's presentation of disasters, making the integration of mitigation, recovery and development with risk reduction extremely difficult.

  •  

    Speakers:
    Jack Jones, Humanitarian Programmes Manager, CHASE, DFID.
    Terry Cannon, Reader in Development Studies, Fellow of the Natural Resources Institute, University of Greenwich.
    Chair:
    Rt Hon John Battle MP, Chair, APGOOD

     

  • An ODI, All Party Parliamentary Group on Overseas Development, Development Studies Association and International Strategy for Disaster Reduction public event in the Disasters and Development: From relief to preparedness and risk reduction series.
