SUMMARY:Workshop on Communication Strategy for Blood Donation of Lao National Blood Transfusion Centre | 13-17 March 2017 | Lao PDR
DESCRIPTION:According to the commitment between Thai Red Cross Society and Lao Red Cross summarized from the bilateral coordinating meeting in Nong Khai Province in 2015\, Thai Red Cross agreed in principle to  help improving the capacities of Lao National Blood Transfusion Centre (NBTC) in increasing number of new blood donors to achieve the target set for the year 2020. Every year\, 60\,000 blood units are needed in Lao PDR but only 40\,000 blood units are collected from voluntary blood donors. \nRegarding to NBTC’s marketing and communications strategy\, increasing the visibility of communication campaigns and improving the public awareness campaigns of NBTC are the key important processes in order to broadly reach out to the new targeted audiences and new blood donors and young generations and general populations in communities. The peer-to-peer technical support in developing the communication strategy on blood recruitment and blood donation and community and public awareness campaigns was held during 13-17 March 2017 with the support from German Red Cross and International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Society\, Country Cluster Support Team (IFRC CCST) in Bangkok. \nAt the end of a workshop\, a team from the National Blood Transfusion Center of Lao Red Cross (LRC) committed to move forward with the ideas\, resources\, guidance and suggestions from Thai Red Cross Society (TRCS) in applying to fit with Laos’ local context. The posters\, short films\, TV spot\, radio spot\, IEC material produced by TRSC are very helpful and useful for LRC to modify and adapt to Laos’ local context. The strategic communication action plan 2017 onwards\, a new logo of NBTC\, four TV and Radio spots  and some selected posters have been developed during the five-day workshop. The new key message of NBTC is “Give blood every 3-4 months makes you healthy.” The peer-to-peer technical support from TRSC is very useful for LRC as observed. German Red Cross very appreciated this peer-to-peer support and thanked TRC and IFRC for this peer-to-peer support that came from bilateral cooperation agreement.

This was also the opportunity to meet with the Head of Communications Unit and Disaster Management team. \nThe main purpose of this meeting was to conduct the orientation workshop on KAP Baseline Survey for the students and to discuss among the different sectors in Lao Red Cross in order to develop the key messages for the Communications Strategy on Public Awareness and Public Education (PAPE). The key discussion topics were as followed: \nPreparation Meeting with KAP Consultant and the project team \n\nDiscussion on the KAP methodology design\, sample size\, contents of the questionaire\, data processing method\, etc.\nThe use of the quantitative tool of the KAP survey for collecting data in the five targeted communities where there is the high school that the LRC is implementing the project.\nThis survey is used to interview at the household level because the household is the primary institution consisting of members of families who talk and share with each other the most in daily life.\n\nOrientation Workshop on KAP Baseline Survey\nThe objective of this workshop was to provide the common understanding on hazards and disasters in the local context and the understanding on the questionnaires and simulation exercise\, for 85 students from five schools in Vientiane Capital City. \nThe Morning Session was on “Knowing the Local Hazards and Disasters in Laos”. The purpose of this session was to provide understanding on the hazards and disasters in Laos’ context in order to collect the data for KAP Survey. Based on PAPE tools\, the main facilitator for this session led the session by using the Role Play. The students were into five groups and assigned the hazard topics for each group (Fire\, Flood\, Earthquake\, Land slide and Storm). Each group developed the key messages based on their understanding about the impacts of the hazards in their schools and communities including how to use the community engagement approach in their role play. After the presentations\, the facilitator asked the representatives from each group to feedback each other\, then invited the teachers and Lao Red Cross (LRC) team to provide feedback also. In conclusion\, all students understood about the hazards in their local context. \nThe Afternoon Session was on “Understanding and Practising on KAP Survey Questionnaires”. The purpose of this session was to provide understanding on KAP Survey’s questionnaires and practice and how to collect the data in the communities. The consultant was the main facilitator for this session\, while the project manager and LRC team were the co-facilitators in the simulation exercise. The session started with the introduction on KAP survey methodology and then divided the students into five groups in order to read out loud and understand all parts of the questions. Then\, the simulation exercise started by matching them in pairs and practiced how to ask the questions and how to record the answers. Finally\, they could give feedback to each other and the teachers also provided the comments. \nFor more information\, see Building Urban Resilience Project.

SUMMARY:Epidemic Control for Volunteers (ECV) Training for Community Volunteers in the Highest Malaria and Dengue Prevalence District | 19-21 December 2016 | Lao PDR
DESCRIPTION:The training on Epidemic Control for Volunteers for village health volunteers\, head of villages\, and community school teachers was planned and organized during 19-21 December 2016 in Muang Prathumphone\, Champasak Province\, the southern part of Lao PDR and Lao-Thailand border crossing area (Pakse\, Champasak and Chong Mekm Ubol Ratchathani province). \nDr. Bounma Xayasouk\, Director of Department of Health Promotion\, Lao Red Cross reported that the epidemics in the southern provinces have been happening since late 2011 in Attapeu\, Champasak\, Saravan\, Sekong and Savannakhet. In 2013 and 2014\, Lao Red Cross implemented the malaria prevention project in 20 villages in 3 districts of 2 provinces (Champasak and Sekong). Previously\, in 2013\, the Epidemic Control for Volunteers (ECV) training course has been organized by Lao Red Cross for healthcare staff from the headquarter and other 15 provinces. The training documents were translated into Lao language for the said training. After that\, the training could not be extended to other staff at district level due lack of financial support and staff turnover rate. \nThe Ministry of Public Health estimated that without immediate interventions and effective actions for health promotion and control\, Lao PDR could have 61\,000-120\,000 dengue cases in every year. Meanwhile\, in 2013\, dengue cases were reported in Champasak Province. From about 5\,404 cases\, the populations in 7 cases were found dead. As of November 2015\, 1\,313 dengue fever cases were diagnosed in this epidemic area. \nThis year in 2016 Lao Red Cross considered to urgently provide health interventions and reach the local communities and vulnerable populations in these affected and high epidemic areas with effective communication and health-education strategies. The tools of ECV have been implemented and useful for the community volunteers in the previous years. \nThere were 31 village health volunteers\, head of villages\, and community school teachers invited to participate in this ECV training (Male 21\, Female 10 ). The four sessions of epidemic response cycle\, principle of epidemiology\, community tools\, action tools\, and disease tools with ECV manual in Lao language were employed. The group work discussions\, “Zap that mosquito” game and home-visit health-education role plays and health education practices using the community tool focusing on four diseases – Dengue & Zika\, Malaria\, Diarrhea\, and Respiratory infections were highlighted and demonstrated to all participants\, and community mappings and epidemics seasonal calendar were trained. The results of the pre/post-test of True /False/Not Sure quiz showed that the participants’ knowledge were significantly improved from 66% to 98% respectively. The expectations of the participants were met and satisfied. \nAt the end of the training\, Mr. May Sisouvong\, Head of Nakham village said\, “This training is very useful and easy to follow up by a group of community volunteers\, especially the head of the villages and village health volunteers by using it during the diseases epidemics. I understood more about the epidemics’ cycle and he committed to bring all the new knowledge and new health interventions learned from the facilitators back to my village and community by communicating and educating via a loud speaker to our local villagers in order to improve their behavior to prevent and control malaria and dengue in the village.” \nMr. Thongphoun Phothivong\, Teacher\, Nakham Village School\, said\, “I really like the facilitation methods and training materials. The training package of ECV manual will be very useful to apply for school curriculums\, especially for the subject of health education and environmental study and society. This will benefit our students in the school as they will get to know the information about the diseases\, transmission and prevention and control. Hand cleaning steps and information about mosquito-breeding sites to avoid mosquito bites using nets are very useful for the students and local communities to do it to prevent them from malaria and dengue and Zika diseases.” \nMiss. Sengphachanh Zaizanapanhya\, Teacher\, Oudomphanh Village School mentioned\, “This is good timing for ECV training and we are waiting for this kind of training and workshop. I have never been involved in a training like this\, this is my first time and I like it. I have learned a lots during the past three days. I will take all the new skills and updated knowledge back home and talk to our students and villages. I will help our community to prevent and stop malaria and dengue forthe poor people in the communities.” \nLast but not least\, Dr Bounma Xayasouk highlighted\, “Next year we are proposing and requesting the support from IFRC about the CBHFA Mosquito-Borne Diseases and Vector Control in helping the vulnerable populations in affected areas\, particularly in Champasak Province. This initiative scale-up will be useful for the villagers and communities in preparing for community health preparedness and response to the epidemics and the outbreaks beforehand. We really appreciate the great support and contribution from IFRC which continues the assistance to their people as always. If the resources will be available for the next fiscal year 2017\, we will scale up the ECV again to cover more affected local communities.” \nCopies of the Dengue\, Zika\, and Chikungunya Toolkit can be downloaded from here: \n\nZDC Toolkit – Community Module\nZDC Toolkit – School / Youth Module\nZDC Prevention Toolkit

SUMMARY:Community-Based Health and First Aid (CBHFA): Mosquito Borne Diseases and Vector Control and Epidemic Control for Volunteers | 14-16 December 2016 | Lao PDR
DESCRIPTION:The Ministry of Public Health reported in 2015 that there was high coverage of malaria and dengue fever outbreak in Lao PDR\, in particular in the southern provinces of Lao PDR\, among these\, Champasak Province had the highest situation. In order to prevent the incidence of these diseases outbreak\, Lao Red Cross has organized a training to build capacity for Lao Red Cross staff at district and provincial levels in epidemic control for them to transfer these knowledge and skills to communities in the areas under their responsibility. \nThis is the first roll out of CBHFA Mosquito-Borne Diseases and Vector Control and Epidemic Control for Volunteers in Lao PDR to provide and increase the capacity building of Red Cross health personnel working in four provinces located in the deep south of Lao PDR i.e. Sekong\, Saravane\, Attapeu and Champasak provinces. These four provinces are the risk-prone areas of dengue and malaria epidemics. \nIn the four key topics of ECV there were group-work discussion\, “Zap that mosquito” game and role plays\, health-education practices and community mappings using a community tool focusing on three diseases – Dengue and Zika\, Diarrhea and Polio\, which were highlighted and demonstrated to the participants. The results of True/False/Not Sure pre-test and post-test showed that the participants’ knowledge was significantly improved from 73% to 96% respectively. \nThere were 15 health personnel from the health divisions of four Red Cross provincial branches actively participating in this first roll-out training course. There were ten female and five male representatives from the four provinces. The theory and practical sessions were employed with ECV manual\, epidemic’s response cycle\, principle of epidemiology\, community tools\, action tools\, and disease tools\, in Lao language. \nFor the next step\, Lao Red Cross is planning to organize the ECV training for community volunteers in Muang Pathoumphone District\, Champasak Province\, during 19-21 December 2016. There will be 20 community volunteers and 10 teachers participating in the ECV training in the district level. This initiative scale-up will be useful for the villagers and communities in preparing for community health preparedness and response to the epidemics and the outbreaks beforehand. \nEspecially\, the community volunteers will be familiarized and conceptualized themselves with the ECV manual and disease tools\, action tools\, and community tools before the epidemics occur in their communities. \nCopies of the Denue\, Zika\, and Chikungunya Toolkit can be downloaded from here: \n\nZDC Toolkit – Community Module\nZDC Toolkit – School / Youth Module\nZDC Prevention Toolkit

SUMMARY:Southeast Asia Behavior Change Training: Risks\, Attitude\, Norms\, Abilities and Self Regulation (RANAS) Approach | 8-9 November 2016 | Cambodia
DESCRIPTION:Risks\, Attitude\, Norms\, Abilities and Self Regulation (RANAS) training was conducted in Siem Reap\, Cambodia\, on 8-9 November 2016\, by Swiss Red Cross\, IFRC and Cambodian Red Cross. \nThe 2-day workshop was participated by water\, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) practitioners from Southeast Asian National Societies of Cambodia\, Indonesia\, Laos\, Malaysia\, Myanmar\, Viet Nam\, Philippines and IFRC. \nThe training course module consists of an introduction into the planning\, design\, and evaluation of systematic behaviour change campaigns. \nThe participants learned about how to conduct a quantitative survey measuring the behavioural factors\, how to identify the required behaviour change techniques and how to verify their effectiveness. The course targets practitioners interested in behaviour change\, especially in water\, sanitation and hygiene in developing countries. The objective was achieved through lectures\, practical experience from the projects\, group exercises\, and plenary discussions. \nThe Risks\, Attitudes\, Norms\, Abilities\, and Self-regulation (RANAS) approach to systematic behaviour change is an established method for designing and evaluating behaviour change strategies that target and change the factors influencing a specific behaviour in a specific population. In brief\, it is an easily applied method for measuring behavioural factors\, assessing their influence on behaviour\, designing tailored strategies that change behaviour\, and measuring the effectiveness of these. Although it was originally developed to change behaviour in the water\, sanitation and hygiene (WaSH) sector in developing countries\, it is applicable to a range of behaviours in various settings and populations. \nTraining documents: \n\nSystematic Behavior Change in Water Sanitation and Hygiene – A practical guide using the RANAS (Risk\, Attitude\, Norms and Self Regulation) approach.\nMethodological Fact Sheets – RANAS (Risks\, Attitudes\, Norms\, Abilities and Self Regulation) approach to systematic behavior change\nFor more information\, refer to this external link.\n\n  \nOutcome document:  \n\nTraining Report

DESCRIPTION:Climate Change is underlined in Lao Red Cross (LRC) Strategic Plan 2011-2015 as a “future trend” that LRC needs to take into consideration. The Strategic Plan notes that “Climate change\, in particular\, not only endangers lives and undermines livelihoods\, but also threatens to exacerbate the gaps between rich and poor\, and amplifies the inequities between women and men. In the region\, emerging and other epidemic-prone diseases pose serious public health and economic threats to Lao.”\n\n\nA key need identified is that “Lao Red Cross requires a stronger organization to meet new challenges in the coming years\, like climate change adaptation\, an increasing number of road accidents in the country\, and new pandemics. There is a critical need to have trained and well-equipped emergency response teams throughout the country\, and to strengthen partnerships at all levels to make communities stronger and more resilient in disaster preparedness and risk reduction”.\n\n  \nIn September 2014\, two staffs from the Lao Red Cross (from DM and Health departments) participated in the IFRC Southeast Asia Climate Change Master Training in Thailand. At the end of the training\, they identified the following next steps to further take into consideration climate change issues within Lao RC programming: \n\nOrganize a national training on Climate Change in Lao PDR\nDevelop IEC materials on climate change\nIntegrate climate change issues within CBDRR/CBHD methodologies\nOrganize coordination  meetings with key partners (government\, NGOs\, PNS\, etc.)\n\n  \nFollowing up to this\, a national-level capacity-building on climate-smart programming training/workshop is organized in 5-8 April 2015 in Vang Vieng district\, Vientiane province in Laos with following structure and objectives: \n\n3-day training to enhance the skills of LRC staffs on climate change issues\, including:\n\nkey concepts and terminology;\nimpacts on weather patterns;\nimpacts on health;\nways to adapt to\, and mitigate\, climate change; and\nways to educate and communicate with communities.\n\n\n\n\n1-day workshop on tools development to integrate Climate Change issues within LRC tools and methodologies (including DM/DRR and Health)\n\n  \nOutcome documents: \n\nReport\n\nAdministrative documents: \n\nConcept Note\nAgenda\nParticipant List

SUMMARY:Disaster Law Workshop | July 2015 | Vientiane\, Lao PDR
DESCRIPTION:Disaster and Climate Change Law Workshop | Vientiane\, Lao PDR | 29 July 2015 \nSince October 2013\, IFRC\, LRC\, UNDP and the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment (MoNRE) have been working together as key partners in the development of a new disaster risk management and climate change law in Lao PDR. The development of the new law is a central component of the ‘Integrated Disaster and Climate Risk Management Project’ (ICDRM) currently being carried out in Lao PDR by UNDP and MoNRE\, with IFRC and LRC as key implementing partners. Over the past 12 months\, these four partners have achieved several milestones which have marked the progress of this work. \nBuilding upon these milestones\, the project partners held a “Disaster and Climate Change Law Workshop” in Vientiane\, to bring together key national and local stakeholders to discuss progress to date\, key thematic/technical components to consider when developing the new law\, and to solicit their feedback and inputs in this process. The workshop was also in line with international commitments made by the government of Lao PDR and the Lao Red Cross at the 31st International Conference of the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement in 2011\, where a resolution was adopted calling upon states to review their existing legislative frameworks at all levels (or develop new ones) to adequately establish key disaster risk reduction measures\, and to promote community level action. \nThe objectives of the workshop are: \n\nIncrease knowledge and understanding of disaster law concepts and issues\, and how to incorporate these in the new law (eg. IDRL\, DRR\, climate change)\nIntroduce key tools such as the IDRL Guidelines\, Model Act on International Assistance and DRR Checklist\nProvide technical support and discussion in the development of the new national disaster risk management and climate change law.\nSolicit input and feedback from key stakeholders involved in the development of the law\, in order to garner support and momentum for the development and passage of the law.\n\n \nFor more information\, see the concept note\, agenda\, participant list and published article about the workshop inVientiane Times. \nFor more resources\, visit Disaster Law page.
