Briceño, director of the UN/ISDR secretariat “Investing in disaster risk reduction reduces the vulnerability of people to hazards and helps break the vicious cycle of poverty. We need to engage the micro finance community into a dialogue on reducing the impact of natural hazards on populations and livelihoods " "Micro finance is a successful tool to empower women to help reduce their poverty and therefore, their vulnerability to disasters.” |
