The International Recovery Platform (IRP) is a global partnership of governments, organizations, and institutions engaged in disaster recovery, working to strengthen knowledge, and share experiences and lessons on building back better after disasters strike countries. The IRP was established in 2005 following the Second UN World Conference on Disaster Reduction held in Kobe, Hyogo, Japan and supports progress against Priority 4 of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, enhancing “Build Back Better” in recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction.
