USAID is seeking applications for a Cooperative
Agreement from qualified organizations to implement the Support to the
Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI) activity.
The overall vision of this activity is to strengthen the technical
capacity of the CDRI Secretariat. More specifically, the activity will provide
targeted technical assistance or other resources to the CDRI Secretariat to
achieve, sustain and accelerate outcomes from the activities supported under
the three strategic priority areas as identified in the CDRI work plan.
The three CDRI work plan priority areas include:
- provide technical support and
build capacity to build back resilience, increase financing, strengthen
governance, and carry out risk and resilience assessments;
- carry out research and
knowledge management to develop learning from disasters, build decision
support functions, develop standards and certifications, and promote
innovations; and
- build advocacy and partnerships
that would result in the organization of national and international
workshops, reports and resilience challenges.

pursuant to this notice of funding opportunity. Subject to funding availability
