Mission
Partners for Resilience is a global alliance that started its collaboration in 2010 and continued its work under the strategic partnership with the Netherlands government (2016-2020) and the Eco-DRR programme in partnership with UN-Environment (2018-2021). The alliance consists of about 50 partner civil society organisations and their networks, working in hazard prone areas to strengthen people's resilience in the face of rising disaster risks. The alliance is active at grassroots, national, regional and global level.

Preventing and reducing the impact of disasters on vulnerable communities in ten countries/ four regions:
- Central America: Guatemala, Haiti
- Horn of Africa: Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, South Sudan
- West Africa: Mali
- Asia: India, Indonesia, Philippines
Partners for Resilience (PfR) contributes to the resilience of communities by integrating climate change adaptation (CCA) and ecosystem management and restoration (EMR) into Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR). With this Integrated Risk Management (IRM) approach, communities strengthen their capacities to reduce the impact of disasters.

PfR works along three strategic lines: strengthening communities resilience, strengthening civil society, engaging in policy dialogues.
Partners for Resilience engages with existing networks, and/or is involved in the setting-up of network that work on promoting integrated risk management. PfR does so at country, regional and global level.

Voluntary Commitments
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
