Participatory Assessment of Disaster Risk (PADR) Malawi In Malawi, following some PADR training, one extension worker said “I have been trying to teach the community these issues, but with no success. Through the PADR process they now understand how some of their agricultural practises contribute to their vulnerability. Thank you”. District Governors have also included DRR in their messages to the community, resulting in a number of new DRR activities in the community.
