The RRI project has three main objectives:
• To generate information about the factors that encourage or hinder DRR in each country, from the national level to specific regions of risk;
• To generate information from various sectors or regions and from specific social actors, to serve as a guide for decision-making on issues of DRR and climate change adaptation;
• To use the information generated as a basis for measuring future progress (or setbacks) in specific factors influencing risk reduction.
