The Academic Network for Development Dialogue (ANDD) is calling on young Arab scholars and early-career staff at the United Nations and international organizations to submit research and practice-oriented papers exploring how urban communities can strengthen their resilience to disasters.
Submissions should focus on transformative, equitable, innovative, and coordinated actions that empower communities to anticipate, prepare for, and respond to natural hazards.
Papers are expected to propose evidence-based solutions and policy- or tool-oriented recommendations, drawing on good practices to accelerate progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals and address structural and systemic challenges in the region.
