The sector has been active for some twenty years and is currently growing, with a particular focus on strengthening our actions in the field of climate resilience for marginalized populations.

Today, HI operates in nearly 60 countries, with DRR-ACC projects in some 15 countries across Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa and Asia.
