COLREDs are self-managed community organisations for disaster risk at a local level. The participation of PfR seeks to build capacities locally in nine municipalities in the Departments of Zacapa,
Chiquimula, Quiché and Sololá to give COLREDs have an integrated approach to link and relate Disaster Risk Reduction, Climate Change Adaptation and Ecosystem Management and Restoration (DRR/CCA/EMR).
