Capacity building is a crucial part of DiMaNN’s work in disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM). This means helping people, organizations, and communities gain the skills, knowledge, and tools they need to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters. DiMaNN focuses on training local leaders, government officials, and community members so they are better equipped to manage disasters effectively. These trainings cover important topics like disaster planning, emergency response, and how to help vulnerable groups during crises.

By building capacity, DiMaNN ensures that local communities can take the lead in protecting themselves rather than always relying on outside help. This includes hands-on training programs and workshops where participants learn practical skills like risk assessment and disaster recovery strategies. DiMaNN also makes sure that marginalized groups, like women and people with disabilities, are included in these training programs, so everyone has a say in how their community prepares for and handles disasters.

The goal is to make these efforts sustainable, meaning communities can keep using the skills and knowledge they’ve gained long after the training ends. This way, communities can continue to adapt and improve their disaster response as challenges like climate change evolve.
