PRACTICES OF THE THREE
CITIES WITH THE

CONSULTANTS
1. Project was truly a C2C sharing initiative. This was achieved. Very much
information intensive.
2. The activity of collecting all this information per city is a monumental task
that creates an important contribution for development of Sound DRM
Practices database for all three cities. It truly is a benchmark project that can
be and should be replicated elsewhere.
3. Project set forth some innovative tools & exercises that have helped cities to
organize and document both their capacities as well as their gaps.
4. The Project Learning Experience: Unique opportunity to Learn from all
three cities.
5. Quito is at the moment of bringing policies down to actions for which c2c is
already contributing through the experiences as well as the tools learned.
6. The C2C has opened a lot of doors for Kathmandu Metropolitan City to
engage in EM projects.
CITYNET’s C2C Award
Cooperation Category
Awarded to the Makati City during the 25th Anniversary
Celebration of CITYNET last 10 July 2012 at Surabaya,
Indonesia
We are on our way to making our cities as knowledge cities
in DRRM.
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 less than a year
project implementation.
Now, the time has come for Makati, Quito and Kathmandu
to accept greater responsibility in sharing with other cities
what they have learned and gained from this experience and
eventually drive the whole world towards the path of
disaster resilience.
