The Emergency Capacity Building Project

See below for information on the ECB Project -- an interesting effort which has a website full of information and reports on their projects.

The Emergency Capacity Building (ECB) Project, a collaborative effort of
seven major humanitarian agencies (CARE International, Catholic Relief
Services, the International Rescue Committee, Mercy Corps, Oxfam GB,
Save the Children, and World Vision International), has marked the
International Day for Disaster Reduction with a feature on its website
(http://www.ecbproject.org), highlighting the publication of Pilot Project
Reports from three DRR country pilots in Indonesia, Guatemala and
Ethiopia (http://www.ecbproject.org/publications_3.htm).

ECB has also published an Overview Report (attached to this
message), summarizing key learning from the three pilots, setting that
learning in the context of other sector initiatives, and suggesting
practical ways forward in risk reduction work.
