KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT

SOUTHASIADISASTERS.NET

The uniqueness of All India Disaster Mitigation Institute’s (AIDMI) publication, Southasiadisasters.net are many: only local such publication, only publication combining action and learning, only publication drawing out voices of the affected population, and only publication at the intersection of humanitarian action, disaster risk reduction, and changing climate adaptation. Launched to address local NGO demand in May 2005, Southasiadisasters.net has been observing, reviewing, debating, capturing, and reporting on the individuals, institutions, and policy issues in India and beyond in South Asia.

Publications for community organisations, government agencies, institutes, and organisations – Southasiadisasters.net (in English) – are welcomed all across the world online, including over 18 authorities, 11 UN agencies, 15 networks, many local organisations, and individual researchers and practitioners. We have recently completed 209 issues of Southasiadisasters.net. This success was possible due to the contribution of over 1100 writers belonging to 750 organizations from India and 41 countries, covering 17 disasters, spanning over 46 themes and 16 important national and international policy discourses. Each issue is unique and based on a theme from the field of disaster risk reduction that has emerged from the field.

It is the longest-lasting and first local publication in the field of disaster risk reduction in South Asia that also covers humanitarian action and learning as well as adaptation to and mitigation of changing climate. Through this publication, AIDMI has successfully enhanced knowledge and innovation for effective DRR in India and beyond in South Asia.

EXCHANGE FOR CHANGE GLOBAL INTERNSHIP PROGRAMME

AIDMI started its internship programme in 1997 with the idea of inviting students, the leaders of the future, to the grassroots reality of the humanitarian sector mitigation issues. By working with the policymakers, practitioners, partners, and critics involved in the humanitarian sector in South Asia, students become aware of the main challenges it faces today. They become committed to the work field and learn to combine their academic skills and knowledge with practical implementation. 146 interns from 33 countries and 65 universities came to work under the Exchange for Change Global Internship Programme.
