The number and diversity of civil society organizations participating in Global and Regional Platforms, the India Conference and key Organization of Disaster Manager’s initiatives has grown steadily. Over 175 organizations have contributed to Prevention Web and over 500 participants from civil society participated in the India Conference for Disaster Risk Reduction in Delhi.

Organization Of Disaster Manager’s directly with both individual organizations and works to actively strengthen and grow civil society networks, globally and regionally, for outreach and implementation. Organization Of Disaster Manager’s advocacy campaigns, such as the International have proven to be important vehicles for reaching out to new partners in civil society and have helped to consolidate communities of practice among groups such as such as persons living with disabilities and older persons.
