The CDRI Fellowship Programme, launched in September 2020, aims to develop a global pool of professionals shaping a resilient future for infrastructure. It provides a 12-month seed grant, financial support, peer learning, and capacity development opportunities to foster transformative solutions for disaster resilience.
