The UKRI Collective Fund award 'Gender Responsive Resilience and Intersectionality in Policy and Practice (GRRIPP) - Networking Plus Partnering for Resilience' is funded by the Global Challenges Research Fund.
It is a 4-year global collaboration and knowledge-exchange project, implemented by a collective of universities. It aims to bring together theory, policy and practice to promote a gender-responsive approach to disaster management and development.
GRRIPP is not only about innovative research and development initiatives, it also proposes to develop innovative methods and ways of working; GRRIPP is committed to lead the project in a feminist way and are guided by a decolonial approach, by which we mean a critical reassessment of power relationships between and within countries, communities and social relations more generally. GRRIPP's structure of management is flat and horizontal, and all the partners follow a code of conduct that ensures a diverse, fair and safe working environment.
In this regard, GRRIPP aims to foster an international collaboration that brings to the forefront initiatives from the Global ‘South’. With this change of focus and methods, we will contribute to renew theory and implement better policies and practices in the fields of gender-responsive disaster risk reduction, climate change action and development.

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.
