It will provide an overarching view of the post-2015 Agenda, including the Hyogo Framework, an introduction to DRR theory and a critical discussion of disasters and the private sector in developing countries looking at the effects of disasters on the private and informal sectors and a wide variety of roles the private sector can play in DRR. It will draw on case studies n diverse developing countries as well as in relation to humanitarian aid. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
