SUMMARY:CCST Thailand’s Final Evaluation of School Based Disaster Risk Reduction Program | 27 November – 2 December 2017 | Myanmar
DESCRIPTION:The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) Country Cluster Support Team in Thailand conducted a final evaluation on the School Based Disaster Risk Reduction (SBDRR) program in Myanmar during 27 November – 2 December 2017. \nMyanmar Red Cross Society (MRCS) started to implement the SBDRR program in 2012. MRCS received the funding from the Chinese Red Cross (Hong Kong Branch) through the IFRC to implement the SBDRR project in eight schools as a pilot project in three townships — Kyauktan\, Thakeda\, and Hlaing Tharyar — from 2015 to December 2017. The project objective is to integrate and apply the multi-spectral approach to school safety by addressing issues related to multi-hazards and their impacts through ensuring that both disaster management and health concerns are equally addressed while implementing the SBDRR initiatives to raise the resilience levels among school-going children\, teachers\, parents\, and communities\, in order for them to prepare for known threats\, act preventively\, and respond effectively in times of need. \nThe purpose of the evaluation is to draw lessons that will be useful for the improvement of the existing and future program implementation. Additionally\, the National Societies (NSs) in the region will benefit from the knowledge sharing\, and mainstreaming of similar components into their long-term initiatives. \nAs a result of the evaluation\, the project has fulfilled the requirement of all stakeholders and beneficiaries. The facility improvement activity has opened the door for good cooperation on other components. The training content is relevant to the local context and disaster encountered. The improvement on health promotion particularly the personal hygiene and first aid is clearly seen. The good cooperation among stakeholder is also observed. Moreover\, this project has strengthened better cooperation among schools and other organisation which could promote sustainability of the project and may lead to interventions in other schools. \nIn this connection\, the IFRC and Myanmar Red Cross Society convey our appreciation to the Chinese Red Cross (Hong Kong Branch) for giving a great opportunity through its funding to IFRC and MRCS in implementing this project. \nA first aid competition among schools.

SUMMARY:Philippine Red Cross steps up service to Filipino migrants through new info system
DESCRIPTION:The Philippine Red Cross (PRC) has leveled up its services to overseas-based Filipinos through a digital platform that streamlines necessary information before\, during\, and after their stay abroad. \nThe PRC\, in partnership with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC)\, recently unveiled the Virtual Volunteer (www.virtualvolunteer.org)\, a web platform that aims to link migrants to the organization’s services\, as well as to other institutions that can assist them with their concerns on 27 November 2017. \nThe Virtual Volunteer serves as the PRC’s response to the need to establish an accessible platform that the 12 million-strong Filipinos\, including overseas Filipino workers (OFWs)\, can access to avoid common difficulties\, such as abuse and human trafficking. \n“What we want is an immediate relief for people who are in emergency situations and right information can help them avoid falling in situations of abuse\, exploitation\, or trafficking\,” PRC Secretary General Atty. Oscar Palabyab said. “Virtual Volunteer serves as light way to assist individuals before going to a new country and access information once at destination.” \nThe IBM-powered platform geo-locates users to generate tailored vital information such as existing legislations in their host countries\, pre-departure documents and requirements\, and contact information of embassies and bodies that provide medical services and legal assistance. \nMoreover\, the website also makes it easier for migrants to access PRC’s services that tackle migration\, such as psychosocial support program\, home and school visits\, crisis intervention\, restoration of family links\, and ambulance services. \n“Information empowers people and we believe in the power of every person. This approach gives every individual more information and more power to make sound decision\, help them avoid difficulties\, and ensure that they know their rights wherever they are\,” said Christopher Staines\, head of IFRC Country Office said. \nAs the name suggests\, anyone connected to the internet can access the Virtual Volunteer via computer or mobile device through any browser. \n“Through this web-based platform\, migrants will no longer have to download an application to access the Virtual Volunteer\, especially in times of emergency\,” said Albert Marqueses\, Digital Service Line Lead of Philippine Innovation Center\, IBM Solutions Delivery. “Working with the IFRC aligns with IBM’s goal of being essential in shaping sustainable and humanitarian agenda.” \nThe PRC is the first Asian National Society to launch the platform\, which has already been beneficial to over 30\,000 people in Greece\, Sweden\, and Italy.

SUMMARY:Philippine Red Cross rolls out training on disaster law for Chapters | 27-29 November 2017 | Tacloban\, Philippines
DESCRIPTION:Two months after the successful roll-out of the first batch of training of facilitators on Disaster Law in the Philippines in September\, 21 Philippine Red Cross volunteers and officers from three local chapters received training on disaster law and advocacy to strengthen PRC’s internal capacity and use these skills for the benefit of the communities that they serve. \nThe local level Disaster Law Programme orientation and training is part of the Philippine Red Cross Disaster Law Programme’s thrust to capacitate local chapters and communities on disaster law\, and serves as an important highlight of PRC’s role as a leading actor of community-based driven advocacy and action in the region. \nThe strength of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement lies in its people. This is true for Philippine Red Cross\, whose strength lies in its vast network of volunteers and chapters around the country\, all gearing to bring community voices to the decision-making table. \nThe training was held from 27-29 November\, in Tacloban\, Leyte Province. The 21 participants\, volunteers and officers coming from Leyte\, Cebu and Ormoc Chapters\, were selected due to their experience in serving communities severely affected by Typhoon Haiyan and\, in the process\, relationships that they have built with local government and non-government stakeholders.  Some of the trainees were also newly recruited volunteers who have just started \nThe training used the module developed for the Training of Chapter Facilitators but with more focus on knowledge transfer rather than facilitation skills. Trainees were highly interested in understanding the legal mandate of PRC in the Philippine disaster risk management system\, local planning processes\, and basic advocacy skills that they can apply at the community level. \nThe training was supported by the Regional Resilience Initiative\, and is the first among a series of Disaster Law trainings that PRC will offer to its Chapters. Lessons learned from this pilot roll-out will feed into the continuous improvement of the disaster law training module in the Philippines. \nSee the activity report.
