A handbook for navigating fragility, conflict and violence
Communities beset by fragility, conflict and violence are disproportionately affected by disasters, and specially framed risk reduction in these settings is pivotal to saving lives amidst the political and social turmoil. But how? A new handbook helps to navigate the challenges and uncertainties of FCV settings. Funded by the German Federal Foreign Office and jointly developed by the IFRC, the ICRC, the German Red Cross and the Climate Centre, it is based on solid Movement experience and is also available in summary form in French and Spanish.
