This study assessed the status of disaster risk management (DRM) education in selected Ethiopian universities, and on how they achieve their objectives strategically through undertaking inter-disciplinary policy and applied DRR research; and creating a network of knowledge management institutions linked with climate change, environment management and sustainable development. The study jointly promoted and facilitated the mainstreaming of broader ex-ante disaster risk reduction into national and sector programs together with Ethiopian universities.
