Sendai Gender Equal Opportunity Foundation｜The Women’s Leadership Fund for Recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake Project Report 2012-2016 [PDF]

Since the occurrence of the Great East Japan Earthquake in March 2011, the government of Norway has supported the restoration and recovery of the affected area in diverse fields as “Team Norway.” As for the implementation of this “Women’s Leadership Fund for Recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake (Norway Fund),” the staff of our Foundation deepened their thoughts through what they learned from Norwegian society and the experiences of the affected people, and tried many new approaches with the generous support of the Royal Norwegian Embassy. Within the 5-year period of this project, there were many projects not only limited to Sendai or Japan, but that also spread worldwide through the Third UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction.
