The International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR) is implemented by
a system of partnerships with the overall objective to generate and support
a global disaster risk reduction movement. Their work is underpined by the
HFA, which is the overall framework for implementing disaster risk reduction
endorsed by the World Conference on Disaster Reduction in 2005 and by
UN General Assembly (A/RES/60/195). These partnerships comprise a broad
range of actors, all of which have essential roles in supporting nations and
communities to reduce risk. ISDR partners include Governments, intergovernmental
and non-governmental organizations, international financial
institutions, scientific and technical bodies and specialized networks as well
as civil society and the private sector
