SUMMARY:Understanding the Legitimacy & Mandate of Malaysian Red Crescent Society | 16-17 December 2017 |  Kota Kinabalu\, Malaysia
DESCRIPTION:Malaysian Red Crescent Society (MRCS) had undergone the Organizational Capacity Assessment & Certification (OCAC) in 2015 and it had positively identified gaps on matters pertaining to policies\, the absence of review on regulatory mechanisms\, enhance understanding of the legality and the mechanic of administration of the Society at various levels. \nMRCS had also completed the organization-wide Branch Organizational Capacity Assessment (BOCA) in 2016 and the trend indicated that there are still some room of improvements on matters pertaining to Emblems\, State (Branch) Planning and policies. \nArising from the two assessment\, MRCS had organized a Policy Development workshop to formulate policies that were considered as necessary and pertinent to the Society. Since then\, the policies had been endorsed by the National Council of the MRCS. Along with this\, another bold step was taken to review the MRCS Corporation Rules. \nThe output of the Policy Development and Review of the MRCS Corporation Rules had been put into effect. Nonetheless\, it is unclear how well the contents are understood at state and district level for effective implementation. \nOn this basis\, MRCS is proposing to organize a workshop to provide a better understanding of the legal base and current policies so that officials at all level understand their obligation\, roles and responsibilities to function efficiently and effectively as how a humanitarian organization is expected. This is also followed by understanding some of the basic principles of law which would assist the MRCS at state and district level to administer in accordance to the general principles of law\, thus ensuring that the principle of humanity is safeguarded. \nWorkshop Objectives: \n\nTo provide officials at governance and senior management at State and District level with a greater understanding of the domestic legal foundation\, regulatory mechanism on operational context and other Movement Statutes & Guidance.\nTo give greater insight on the Red Cross Red Crescent Emblem\, including the Third Additional Protocol vis-à-vis the consequences for National Society.\nTo strongly emphasize and caution on some areas of Conduct in MRCS context.\n\nWorkshop Structure & Content: \n1.

SUMMARY:Southeast Asia Refreshers Training and Annual Network meeting | 1-5 Aug 2016 | Kuala Lumpur\, Malaysia
DESCRIPTION:National Societies have been increasingly working to ensure gender and diversity is mainstreamed and fully integrated within their programming\, plans\, policies\, tools\, branch and volunteering development and is approached in a more systematic and strategic way. A number of significant developments have taken place in the region. National Societies have been actively engaged in the development of gender and diversity policies\, organizational self-assessments\, training\, the development of tools based on the Minimum Standard Commitments togender and diversity in emergency programming\, as well as integrating gender and diversity into longer term planning. The refreshers training is combined with the annual network meeting\, 1-5 August 2016 in Kuala Lumpur. \nSee related concept note | field visit agenda | training session agenda | Final evaluation form \n  \nSoutheast Asia regional gender and diversity network \n \nThe network became active in 2015 with endorsement from National Society leadership. National Society representatives (including 10 endorsed focal points) were identified. The first teleconference was held in September 2015 and the first face-to-face annual meeting and training of trainers in October 2015. As per the endorsed Terms of Reference of the Southeast Asia Regional Gender and Diversity Network\, the members should convene once a year for a face-to-face meeting. \nOn 4-5th August\, a second meeting for the Southeast Asia Regional gender and diversity network was held and chaired by Malaysian Red Crescent. This was attended by all 11 National Society focal points/representatives (3M\, 8F) in the region. During the 1.5 day meeting\, Focal Points reflected on their personal and collective achievements and successes\, since the first annual meeting in October 2015. \n\nObjectives of the network meeting: \n\nTo provide a space for peer to peer learning and exchange between members and identify ways to increase peer to peer support within the network.\nTo provide support on the regional action plan and to build on this for 2016-17.\nIdentify ways to measure the impact of our gender and diversity work within National Societies.\n\nCommon challenges to integration of gender and diversity were also discussed and solutions were identified going forward. The meeting was an excellent opportunity to bring all the focal points together to better get to know one another and to share experiences and lessons learnt. A key outcome from the meeting was an updated regional action plan outlining ways to: better share information and resources among members; increase dissemination of the Minimum Standard Commitments to Gender and Diversity in Emergency Programming; and raise awareness within the National Society among staff and volunteers to Governance and Senior Leadership. \n‘7 Moves’ Training (1-3 August 2016) \n    \nThe meeting was preceded by a 2-day ‘ 7 Moves ’ Training\, co-hosted by Malaysian Red Crescent and held at their headquarters. Norwina Eclarinal\, gender and diversity focal point from Philippines Red Cross co-facilitated the training with IFRC. The training was attended by 32 participants (9m:23f) from Southeast Asia National Societies\, Partner National Societies\, ICRC and IFRC. The training was based on the IFRC Minimum Standard Commitments to Gender and Diversity in Emergency Practice\, highlighting the importance of taking a gender and diversity approach and practical ways to operationalize the guidelines in disasters. \nThe objectives are to: \n\nBuild on the understanding gained from the regional training of trainers\, in 2015. Increase knowledge on gender and diversity concepts and how our approach is linked with the 7 Fundamental Principles of the Movement.\nIncrease capacity of the participants in the practical application of gender and diversity and how we can ensure the dignity\, access\, participation and safety of the communities we work with through the use of the Minimum Standard Commitments to gender and diversity in emergency programming.\n\n \n\nThis was followed by a one-day field visit which aimed to promote the importance of partnership and collaboration within the Movement\, as well as with external agencies and government\, on issues related to gender and diversity. The field visit comprised presentations from the Department of Welfare: Ministry of Women\, Family and Community Development on their social inclusion initiatives in Malaysia\, including in times of disaster. ICRC representatives then presented on sexual violence in conflict and other situations of violence\, and ICRC’s response. Participants then visited a project site of the Ministry of Women\, Family and Community Development\, which provides vocational training skills to people with disabilities. This provided the opportunity to come out of the training room and experience first-hand the importance of gender\, diversity and social inclusion as an approach in all our work. \n  \n………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….\n\n  \n\nIntroduction \n\n\n\nPre-test\n\nFundamental Principles and Gender and Diversity dilemmas\n\nPresentation on Seven Moves: Humanity\, Impartiality and Independence (refer to Move 1\, 2 and 3\, which are presented on the 1st day)\nPresentation on Seven Moves: Unity\, Neutrality\, Voluntary Service and Universality (refer to Move 4\, 5\, 6 and 7\, which are presented on the 2nd day)\n\n \nMove 1: Humanity\n\n\nQuiz on gender and diversity and gender-based violence\n\n\n \nMove 2: Impartiality\n\n\nBeneficiary Registration Form\nDisaster Needs Assessment Form\nMulti-sectoral Needs Assessment Form\n\n\n\n\nAudio visual: Inside disaster Haiti\nAudio visual: Getting aid distributions right – Behind the scenes of Inside Disaster\, Haiti\nAudio visual: Older people and disaster management\nAudio visual: Non-discrimination in disaster response (2007 Tabasco Floods)\n\n\n \nMove 3: Independence\n\n\nGender and Diversity advocacy roles\n32nd International Conference – Sexual and gender-based violence: Joint action on prevention and response Resolution (2015)\nIFRC Gender Policy\nIFRC Strategy on violence prevention\, mitigation and response\, 2011-2020: Strategic directions to address interpersonal and self-directed violence\nIFRC Strategic Framework on Gender and Diversity Issues 2013-2020\n\n\n \nMove 4: Unity\n\n\nDRR Indonesian profiles for case study\n\n\n\nMove 5: Neutrality\n\n\nIFRC – Emergency Plan of Action (EPoA) in Food Security | Health | Livelihoods | Non-Food Items | Shelter/Settlements | Water\, Sanitation and Hygiene Promotion (WASH)\n\n\n \nMove 6: Voluntary Service\n\n\nProtection from Sexual Exploitation and Sexual Abuse additional exercise\, for more information\, visit:http://www.pseataskforce.org/\nAudio visual: Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Sexual Abuse\n\n\n\nMove 7: Universality\n\n\n[Resources to be confirmed]\n\n\n\nMore audio visuals/videos:\n\n\nBuilding capacities – Gender and diversity in Asia and Pacific\nYolanda: A Year After (from Philippine Red Cross)\nSeven Moves: Setting the scene Asia Pacific\nSurviving the Storm: Women and Natural Disasters\n\n\n\nMore resources: \n\n\nGender and Diversity for Resilience Resource Library\nStrategy Framework on Gender and Diversity Issues 2013 – 2020 | summary | download in [English] [Vietnamese]\nMinimum standard commitments to gender and diversity in emergency programming-pilot version | summary | download\nRegional Southeast Asia Gender and Diversity Training Report
