Tools and Trainings

Tools & Training Offerings

Disasters and progressing climate change seriously undermine core development priorities such as poverty alleviation or human security and will become more significant in the next decades. Integrating these concerns in development cooperation planning and related training is key to achieve and secure development goals. SDC has developed its own tools and training offerings.

 

Climate, Environment and Disaster Risk Reduction Integration Guidance (CEDRIG)
is a handbook developed by SDC to guide its staff and operational partners through the process of screening and assessing their development interventions in order to ensure the systematic integration of climate change and DRR. The CEDRIG handbook is an approach to support SDC staff and their project partners in analysing existing and planned cooperation strategies, programmes and projects with respect to their exposure and influence on climate change and natural disasters. Such a check supports the systematic integration of climate and DRR into development cooperation and humanitarian efforts and therefore contributes to more sustainable development activities and resilient livelihoods. It is not the aim of the check to develop adaptation projects or targeted DRR projects.

 

Internal Trainings
The Global Programme Climate Change recently conducted a participatory revision of its trainings and now offers new trainings for SDC colleagues in the field and Switzerland as well as a number of specialised training modules offered on demand.
