Community Knowledge Portal for Disaster Risk Reduction (CKP-DRR) is an online platform dedicated to disseminating local and traditional knowledge to disaster risk reduction (LTK-DRR). LTK-DRR is the result of accumulated experience that comes with the close relationship of local and traditional communities to their environment, formed through successive trials and errors over generations. Such information is scanty and is not easily accessible. CKOP recognizes the value of local and traditional knowledge and its role in building more sustainable and resilient communities. CKP-DRR aims to develop a common platform for sharing information related to TLK-DRR in Nepal, India and Bangladesh in particular and globally, in general. We invite you to explore the CKP-DRR and benefit from our materials.
