GADRRRES is informed by an ‘all-hazards approach’, which is underpinned by two important theories of change that guide the efforts of the Global Alliance:
- The socio-ecological model which stresses the linkages between child, family, school, community, and larger society.
- The Collective impact approach which requires multi-stakeholder engagement in pursuing a common agenda, agreed upon measures of success, and facilitation of mutually reinforcing activities and constant communication.
