The Citizens’ Disaster Response Center has just completed the first year of its five-year Strategic Plan (2018-2022). This narrative report covering the period January-December 2018 shows the implemented activities as designed in the Strat Plan and the proposed 2018 Core Program.

The main parts of the report are:

I.    Brief National Conditions in the Reporting Period;

II.    Project Activities Implemented, Deviations, Corrective Measures; and

III. Financial Report

The presentation of the project activities will be based on the six set purposes and their corresponding activities as presented in the approved Gantt Chart. The purposes are:

1) CDRC advocacy work on climate change, and disaster risk reduction and its CBDM perspective is broadened and heightened;

2) RCs are strengthened through CDRC’s capacity-building program;

3) Adequate resources are generated to support the 16 RCs and the CDRN Secretariat in its operations and programs;

4) Special Projects are piloted and implemented by CDRC (research and advocacy, innovative, cross- cutting themes);

5) CDRC’s DRRM program, and management mechanisms & processes are further improved; and

6) CDRC’s network of partners and volunteers (both local and international) has expanded.

This report looks into how the period’s operations have contributed toward the five-year set goal.
