Description
Academic programme part of the PeriPeri U (Partners Enhancing Resilience for People Exposed to Risk) consortium's academic activities.
The interdisciplinary Disaster Risk Management and Sustainable Development Masters curriculum has both a proactive component that contributes to sustainable development by equipping learners with the skills to assess and address pre-preemptively the underlying vulnerabilities of different livelihood systems that drive disasters and a disaster management component that addresses all stages of the disaster risk management cycle. The overall goal of the programme is to provide graduates with the required knowledge and skills to contribute significantly and positively to both disaster risk research and disaster risk management in Ethiopia, as well as the broader African context and internationally.
