NGO Initiatives in Risk Reduction
NGOs appear to be well placed to play a significant role in natural disaster mitigation and preparedness (DMP), working, as they do, with poorer and marginalised groups in society. However, there is little information on the scale or nature of NGO DMP activities. This paper reports the findings of a study seeking to address that gap. It confirms that NGOs are involved in a diverse range of DMP activities but that a number of them are not labelled…
The promotion of democracy at the grass‐roots
With the advent of multi‐partyism, the West African state of Mali has seen the liberalization of the airwaves and a dramatic expansion in the numbers of privately owned radio stations. A background to the development of both urban and rural stations is given and a discussion follows as to radio's actual and potential role in defining and defending a democratic culture. The overt political stance of the urban stations is compared and contrasted wi…

The axiom of putting women and children first has been lost in the maelstrom of immediate need planning without consideration of consequences. The UN developed a training manual and seminars for disaster management. Included in one of the UN manuals are directives that emph…
