This document discusses Cordaid's use of open data to analyze disaster risk reduction projects in the Philippines. It merges Cordaid project data with the World Risk Index to identify locations for DRR projects based on vulnerability to natural disasters. Maps show 15 Cordaid projects in high risk areas of the Philippines. Project details and status updates provide information on project goals and community impacts. Analyzing the open data helps answer questions about where Cordaid works, what the projects aim to achieve, and how their effectiveness is monitored.

11. ANALYSING THE DATA
Answering the Where and Why
• Where are we working?
› DRR has 15 projects in the Philipinnes working in 32
seperate locations
• Why do we work, where we work?
› We work in the Philipinnes because it has a very high
Vulnerability (52.46) to natural disasters and a Lack of
Coping Capacity (80.47)

• What are we doing to improve the resilience of fragile
communities?
› Main goal is to assist vulnerable communities affected by
typhoon Haiyan to increase their resilience to future
disaster. The project discerns two, partly overlapping,
phases: early recovery and recovery leading to resiliency.

17. TELLING THE STORY
Argel and Arnie are two of the people who will be
benefiting from the Dekembad Footbridge. The
bridge is one of the Resilient Community
Infrastructure Projects in Brgy. Banuang Daan.
Aside from helping the children get to school, this
bridge provides an important evacuation passage
for the remote areas of Banuang Daan; finally
allowing the community to cross the dangerous
river in times of storms and floods.
“One of the worst things we experience every day
is crossing the path going to school,” said Arnie.
“Whenever it rains, we have no choice but to walk
through the puddle. Else, we won’t be able to learn
a day’s lesson in school.”
“We’re really grateful that they’re building this
Dekembad Footbridge. It’s going to be very helpful
especially for us kids,” Argel said happily. “We don’t
need to go down the cliff and swim in the mud
anymore once it’s finished.”
