SFDRR PriorityPM’s 10-Point Agenda (Corresponding Points)How They Connect in Practice (with Key Issues and AIDMI Contributions)
Priority 1: Understanding Disaster RiskAgenda 1: Integrate DRR into all development sectors.
Agenda 2: Ensure risk coverage for all.
Agenda 4: Invest in risk mapping and early warning.
Agenda 10: Align with SDGs, Paris Agreement, and Sendai.
AIDMI advanced risk knowledge and local awareness through community risk mapping, early warning pilots, and heat risk data initiatives. Reflected in “Understanding Uncertainty” (Issue 169, 2018), “Trans-Boundary Early Warning Systems in Asia” (Issue 180, 2019), and “Evaluating Extreme Heat Projects and Programmes” (Issue 214, 2024). These actions bridge humanitarian response with anticipatory action under SFDRR Priority 1 and PM Agendas 1, 4 & 10.
Priority 2: Strengthening Disaster Risk GovernanceAgenda 3: Invest in resilient infrastructure.
Agenda 5: Build local capacity and resilience.
Agenda 7: Use technology to enhance DRR.
Agenda 9: Build on women’s leadership and gender perspectives.
AIDMI strengthened local disaster governance through district- and city-level plans, training of local governments, and digital DRR tools. Featured in “First SFDRR Aligned National Disaster Management Plan” (Issue 148, 2016), “Implementing Cancun Agenda in South Asia” (Issue 157, 2017), and “Strengthening the Humanitarian System: From India to South Asia” (Issue 208, 2024). The focus on women-led preparedness and inclusive institutions links AIDMI’s humanitarian action and DRR governance with PM Agendas 3, 5, 7 & 9.
Priority 3: Investing in DRR for ResilienceAgenda 2: Expand risk coverage and financial protection.
Agenda 3: Promote resilient infrastructure.
Agenda 6: Strengthen scientific and technical cooperation.

AIDMI pioneered Afat Vimo (micro-insurance), parametric insurance pilots, and CSR partnerships for resilience financing. Documented in “Disaster Microinsurance: An Innovation for Transformation” (Issue 133, 2015), “Investing in DRR: CSR Initiatives in India” (Issue 176, 2018), and “Parametric Insurance Solutions for All” (Issue 218, 2025). These initiatives blend financial innovation and community resilience, operationalising PM Agendas 2, 3, 6 & 8.
Priority 4: Enhancing Preparedness and Building Back BetterAgenda 4: Improve risk mapping and early warning.
Agenda 5: Build local capacity and resilience.
Agenda 9: Empower women as resilience leaders.
Agenda 10: Ensure coherence among global and national frameworks.
AIDMI’s humanitarian recovery and climate resilience work in Nepal, Kashmir, and urban India applied “Build Back Better” principles. Illustrated in “Rebuilding Nepal by Implementing SFDRR” (Issue 134, 2015), “Long-Term Recovery in Kashmir” (Issue 163, 2017), “Building Adaptation and Resilience to Heat Waves” (Issue 204, 2023), and “Nature-Based Cooling Solutions for Cities” (Issue 224, 2025). These experiences connect preparedness, gender inclusion, and climate adaptation—fulfilling PM Agendas 4, 5, 9 & 10.
