Historical OverviewHistorical Overview

• Established in 1986 at the initiatives of UN Disaster Relief Organization at the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), in Thailand.

S d h O h C f AIT• Served as the Outreach Center of AIT, 1986‐1999. Signing of MoU between

AIT and UNDRO

• Became an independent international foundation in July 1999.
