Latin America and Caribbean Resilience, Readiness, and Risk-Protection Review (LAC-4R)

preparation

The general objective is to generate the region's most comprehensive body of evidence on the drivers, impacts, and governance of disaster risk, strengthening institutional capacity and informing the IDB Group's strategic and operational decision-making, while contributing to the evolution of regional and global disaster risk governance debates toward 2030. Specific objectives are to: (i) produce 15–20 coordinated research papers across the three DRM pillars; (ii) build and consolidate a regional research network on disaster risk and resilience; (iii) translate research into synthesis reports, policy briefs, and country notes to inform operations and policy dialogue; and (iv) strengthen the Bank's internal capacity and global positioning as a knowledge leader on resilience and disaster risk governance.
