Child-Centred Disaster Risk Reduction in Fiji

This project explored how child-centred disaster risk reduction (CCDRR) can support risk reduction and resilience building in Fiji. Working alongside a Save the Children Fiji programme, it engaged children and other community stakeholders across Qauia, Kalekana, and Uluibau to examine local experiences of hazards, vulnerability, capacities and resilience. Children designed and implemented a participatory survey and produced a video report to communicate key findings. The project contributed to the evidence base for CCDRR, highlighting children's capacities to generate knowledge, identify risks, and make meaningful contributions to community resilience.
