Kerala State Disaster Management Authority (KSDMA) collaborated with Sphere India (A coalition of NGOs) in 2019. The collaboration aimed at the following:
1. Update District Disaster Management Plans of all 14 districts
2. Create an institutional framework for NGO collaboration
As a result of the project, all 14 districts formed Inter Agency Groups (IAGs) under respective DDMAs for NGO coordination. A total of 420 NGOs spread across the State are now part of the IAG network of DDMAs.
