IEG Conference on Effectiveness of Assistance for Natural Disasters | Independent Evaluation Group
LIRNEasia’s partner in the last-mile hazard-information project, Sarvodaya is representing the non-governmental sector at the above major conference. This is very significant because Sarvodaya is among the few organizations that are capable of, and already active in, building community-centered disaster preparedness.
Today, I delivered the keynote at the 9th International Conference on multidisciplinary approaches at the University of Sri Jayewardenepura. Here is on story that I told.

However, it also poses challenges such as keeping up with the spread of the infectious disease, and the need to protect personally identifiable information.
