SPRF emphasizes "horizontalisation" and "intersectionality" in public policy research.
Key personnel & structure
It is managed by a Board of Trustees and Advisors based in New Delhi.
Initiatives
In addition to research, it conducts on-ground,, community-focused projects, such as using games to educate adolescents on menstrual health.
Voluntary Commitments
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
