About the Course

Child centered disaster risk reduction (CCDRR) is a process to strengthen community’s resilience. Children become activists and mobilize community through influencing individuals, peer groups, and other stakeholders towards the achievement of resilience in communities in times of disaster. CCDDR complements to national action plans for children through empowering children and community as whole towards disaster risk reduction.

The training is aimed at ensuring children are put at the center of the CBDRM process which thus ensures their active participation in disaster risk reduction by allowing them to start the risk identification process while simultaneously validating their findings with adults.

If you are unable to attend, you must notify us in writing at least 7 days before the course start date. You may choose to nominate a qualified substitute colleague at no additional cost or defer your enrolment to the next scheduled cohort for that program.

Our primary residential and corporate training programs are hosted in premium, fully equipped conference facilities in Nairobi, Kenya. We also coordinate regional and international training locations depending on the specific cohort and organizational requirements. Exact venue details are communicated in your admission letter.

Payments can be made via bank transfer or bank draft payable to PB Institute of Research and Technology. For corporate-sponsored participants, a formal undertaking/Local Purchase Order (LPO) from the employer is required to secure a slot before the training commencement date.
