Asian and Pacific Centre for the Development of Disaster Information Management

In May 2015, the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), adopted resolution 71/11 to establish the Asian and Pacific Centre for the development of disaster information management (APDIM) in the Islamic Republic of Iran as a regional institution of the Commission.

On 30 January 2018, ESCAP and the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran signed an Agreement for the establishment of the APDIM in Tehran. The Centre will strengthen regional cooperation in Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and promote effective policies for inclusive, sustainable and resilient development in the region.
