ProVention Consortium

The ProVention Consortium is a global coalition of governments, international organizations, academic institutions, the private sector and civil society organizations dedicated to increasing the safety of vulnerable communities and to reducing the impact of disasters in developing countries. It forges links between its members and shares knowledge and resources on disaster risk management so that benefits are shared.

ProVention’s goal is to support developing countries in reducing the risk and social, economic and environmental impacts of natural and technological disasters. The consortium includes the International Federation, which currently hosts ProVention at its secretariat in Geneva.
