This case study forms part of a broader review of the integration of gender issues into Australian Red Cross (ARC)-supported disaster risk management (DRM) programmes, focusing on AusAID NGO Cooperation Program (ANCP)-funded activities. The Guangxi Red Cross Society (GXRC)’s Community Based Disaster Preparedness (CBDP) Project is one of these. It aims to implement training and conduct disaster mitigation activities that can improve the resilience of selected village communities to risks and hazards during disasters as well as increase the capacity of Guangxi RC staff at all levels.
