Through the national and regional round table, seminars, workshops, and consultations, AIDMI argues for encouraging active and meaningful local participation in all disaster-related programmes, turning disaster reduction and recovery policies and programmes in the favor of poor, marginalized communities and mainstreaming gender concerns, children and school safety in key aspects of disaster management. National Campaign for pro-Poor DDMPs, Climate Smart Disaster Risk Management, linking and mainstreaming DRR and CCA, wetlands risks, and protecting human rights in natural disasters are some examples of its actions in this regard.
