The GFDRR City-to-City Sharing

Initiative for DRR is one of the tools

that would make our cities resilient

to disasters. I believe that the

sharing of best practices among

cities vulnerable to hazards could

facilitate the transfer of knowledge

that could arm us against the

constant threat of disasters. (Hon.

Mayor Jejomar Erwin S. Binay, Jr.)

There are interactions

between the three cities, in

terms of disaster risk

management arrangements.

Basically, this is a learning

experience between the

cities. (Former Mayor Kedar

Bahadur Adhikari)

Quito is at the moment of

bringing policies down to

actions for which C2C is

already contributing through the

experience as well as the tools

learned. (Fernando Puente)

CITYNET’s

C2C Award Cooperation

Category Awarded to Makati City

during the 25th Anniversary Celebration of CITYNET in 10 July 2012 at Surabaya,

Indonesia

This City-to-City initiative helps the three cities realize their

potentials to become DRR champions with their numerous

initiatives that were shared throughout the project

implementation.

Makati, Quito and Kathmandu accepted greater responsibility

in sharing with other cities what they have learned and gained

from this experience.
