The Conference was co-organized by ASEAN\, ASEAN Safe Schools Initiative (ASSI) Consortium and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC). \nKey government officials from ASEAN Member States made statement to reaffirm their commitment to school safety initiative. \nThe meeting has reaffirmed the ASEAN governments’ commitment to prioritise school safety through the implementation of relevant regional and global frameworks in Disaster Risk Reduction as well as to strengthen the collaboration among the working groups to continue in advancing Safe Schools in the region. \n“As we enter the 3rd phase of ASSI implementation\, it is timely that we mark it with a regional event such as this Conference\, to provide a venue for all school safety stakeholders in ASEAN for knowledge exchanges and sharing of lessons learned on comprehensive school safety programming\,” said Mr.Kobchai Boonyaorana\, Thai Director Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Policy Bureau. \nSeveral key issues have been addressed to highlight the importance of integrating disaster risk reduction in the education sector such as the regional approach to comprehensive school safety and education in emergencies\, safe school network movement as well as the resources and tools to enabling the riskless environment. The regional implementation progress\, including the achievements and the strategies were also widely discussed. \nAs part of the founding member of Asia Pacific Coalition for School Safety (APCSS)\, the IFRC has been involved in key steps of the ASSI in the past years. In this Conference\, IFRC facilitated the thematic session on “Enhancing the ASEAN Youth engagement in school safety initiatives” engaging representatives from ASEAN National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies\, schools\, youth\, UN agencies and other partners. \nLessons learned and experience were shared among the participants. The new IFRC tool\, Youth engagement toolkit in School Safety\, was introduced in the thematic session and the potential opportunities and key recommendations were proposed back to the plenary meeting. \nLai Wai Keat\, a youth volunteer from Malaysian Red Crescent and a member of South East Asia Youth Network (SEAYN) presented the key recommendation on youth engagement. \n“I would like to say this Conference is very inspiring\, because for me\, I managed to see what others have been doing in this field\,” said Mr. Lai Wai Keat\, a youth volunteer from Malaysian Red Crescent Society. “After this Conference\, I will fly back to Malaysia to find more volunteers to join in\, and we can start doing something from there with the Malaysian Red Crescent\,” he added. \nSouth East Asia is one of the regions with high incidence of natural hazards such as earthquake\, floods\, typhoons and fire. More than 100 million children are at risk living or studying in these disaster-prone areas.[1] They are also among the most vulnerable groups when disaster strikes due to limited resources and capacity[2]. Empowering the children and young people to identify the risks they face at home\, at school and in their community as well as enable them to become more resilient to disasters\, is therefore crucial to achieve ASEAN goal on Disaster Management. \n“Building safe and resilient schools is a corner stone of building resilient communities\,”\nemphasized Mr. Marwan Jilani\, the Head of the IFRC Bangkok Country Cluster Support Team in his closing statement. \nThe organization made two commitments at this conference; by first\, to strengthen and broaden the engagement the youth and volunteers and scale up our school safety activities to more schools and more children at risk\, and second to institutionalize the partnership around ASSI Consortium as an inclusive and long-term program approach. \n“We look forward to taking this important initiative to new levels and to reach together to more schools and more children\,” he concluded. \n[1] ASEAN and Civil Society Launch Safe Schools Initiative\n[2] Social Vulnerability to Disasters\n\nOutcome Document\n» Summary Report \nSupporting Documents\n» Agenda\n» Thematic Session detail\n» IFRC’s statement at 2nd ASEAN Conference on School Safety \n     Powerpoint Presentations\n» Youth engagement in School Safety\n» Youth in School Safety Facilitators’ Toolkit\n» Red Cross youth\n» UNESCO URL:https://www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org/event/2nd-asean-safe-school-conference-14-15-february-2017-bangkok/ CATEGORIES:ASEAN Safe School Initiative (ASSI),School Safety,Thailand END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20170207 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20170210 DTSTAMP:20260501T031834 CREATED:20170222T030034Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170619T070547Z UID:18128-1486425600-1486684799@www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org SUMMARY:Consultancy to Strengthen Monitoring and Evaluation of the Regional Resilience Initiative (RRI) Workshop | 7-9 February 2017 | Bangkok\, Thailand DESCRIPTION:Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) cartoon ©17 ifrc boat teamwork \nThe consultancy aimed to review the consultancy findings and recommendations and develop an action plan for monitoring and evaluation enhancement of Regional Resilience Initiative. \nObjectives\n● To present findings and recommendations of the consultancy for discussion\n● To explore possible monitoring and evaluation enhancements for 2017\n● To provide space to discuss RRI beyond 2017 \nResults\nBy the end of the meeting\, we identified the:\n● Proposed edits needed for the recommendations of the consultancy\n● M&E quick wins that are implementable for the final year of RRI\n● Initial thinking about RRI beyond 2017 \nThe consultancy also produced a series of 4 case studies to highlight the contribution of IFRC’s Regional Resilience Initiative: \n\nCase Study: Mainstreaming Gender and Diversity in Disaster Risk Reduction Initiatives\nCase Study: Supporting the Association of Southeast Asian Nations to build community resilience in Member States\nCase Study: Supporting National Societies to Contribute to Disaster Law Development\nCase Study: Regional Resilience Knowledge Hub URL:https://www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org/event/consultancy-to-strengthen-m-and-e-of-rri-workshop-february-2017/ CATEGORIES:Thailand,Workshop END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20170124 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20170125 DTSTAMP:20260501T031834 CREATED:20170209T024309Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170209T024846Z UID:18035-1485216000-1485302399@www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org SUMMARY:Roundtable Discussion on Climate Change Adaptation with Inclusion | 24 January 2017 | Bangkok\, Thailand DESCRIPTION:Plan International Asia Regional office hosted the roundtable discussion on the topic of “Climate Change Adaptation with Inclusion”.

The events promoted Free HIV testing and encourage individuals and their partners to know their HIV status at Anonymous Clinic and in the prison in Pathumthani province\, and screening and discussion of VD\, TB and Hepatitis B & C. Also occurred was activities to disseminate HIV/AIDS information to the public following the UN’s theme for this year’s World AIDS Day which is Hands Up for #HIV Prevention. \nActivities\n1. Communication through the social media outlets about HIV prevention\, testing and treatment\n– Online HIV risk reduction message to communicate accurate information about HIV\, HIV risk\, and ways to prevent both acquisition and transmission\n= Promotion of free HIV Testing on World AIDS Day \n2. On 1 December 2016\, TRCARC joined the official World AIDS Day Celebration at Anonymous Clinic.\n– Booth exhibition\n– Free HIV testing was offered on World AIDS Day on 1 December\n– Black ribbons were distributed \n3. Students Debate & Debunk HIV Myths at Tessaban 2 Wat Saneha School in Nakhon Pathom province. This province\, located approximately 70 kilometers away to the South of Thailand from Bangkok was chosen for several reasons; the first being that it is one of the zones where TRCARC presently work for Harm Reduction\, and the second being that TRCARC wanted to bring our message of HIV/AIDS education to an area with low socio-economic. \n  \n  \n  \n4. Prisoners Debate & Debunk HIV Myths at the prison in Prathumthani Province. This province\, located approximately 60 kilometers to the North of Thailand from Bangkok was chosen for several reasons; the first being that it is one of the zones where TRCARC presently works for Harm Reduction\, and the second being that TRCARC wanted to bring our message of HIV/AIDS education to an area where there is drug use. There were a debate\, an exhibition and a quiz session. \n  \n  \n  \nOutcomes\n• Using of the social networking sites to bridge communication among a diverse range of users\, in various geographic and social contexts\, leveraged through pre-existing platforms and with attention to the roles of anonymity and confidentiality in communication about HIV prevention and treatment\, continues to increase and becomes more widespread.\n• 172 people got free HIV testing on World AIDS Day.\n• The event was well attended. A total of 1\,714 students in the school came including upper secondary school students\, teachers\, villagers authorities\, district government staff and TRCARC staff.\n• 100 students and 100 prisoners were able to identify and discuss basic truths and myths surrounding HIV. They highlighted the importance of education as a preventive measure against HIV/AIDS.\n• Distributed condoms and lubricant\, printed with “PrEP helps prevent HIV” message with the key facts about HIV/AIDS on the back\, which promoted practical link between HIV/AIDS and safe sex.\n• Students campaigned for World AIDS Day in public by wearing the campaign t-shirts especially produced for the occasion.\n• The audience actively engaged with the debate showing laughter and applause. It was expected that this activity helped to increase HIV/AIDS knowledge. It is hoped that people change their attitude and behavior towards people living with HIV (PLHIV) as the drama performance showed people how to support PLHIV.\n• Participants in the quiz session demonstrated good knowledge of the HIV/AIDS information presented.\n• The materials distributed to the audience and displayed in the exhibition were well received. We hope that the provision of this information helps to provide ongoing support to increase knowledge and change individuals and communities behaviors and attitudes.

Partners | 12 July 2016 | Bangkok DESCRIPTION:Partners call for greater collaboration to tackle vulnerabilities of migrant workers \nOn 12 July 2016 IFRC country cluster support team – Bangkok Office convened the first roundtable for partner implementing civil society organisations (CSO) under the DEVCO supported “Rights of Migrants in Action” initiative. The objectives of this roundtable meeting were to evaluate progress\, agree on capacity building plan and promote cooperation between the civil society\, the Red Cross and other stakeholders.\nThe roundtable  brought together 30 representatives from four partner implementing  CSOs\, Thai and Viet Nam Red Cross Societies\, European Union\, Migrant Forum Asia\, International Labour Organisation\, International Organisation for Migration and UN Women. \nIn his opening remarks Marwan Jilani\, Head of IFRC CCST reminded the audience that despite the positive contribution of migrants to the development\, they are often locked out from the protection mechanisms and access to health\, education and social services that respect their basic needs and dignity. He continued by saying that  “responding to the needs and vulnerabilities of migrants in today’s complex global context is not a simple challenge  and thus the effectiveness of our efforts largely depends on working together in partnership”. \n \nPhoto: Representatives of Thai Red Cross and Viet Nam Red Cross participating in the meeting | Each session was facilitated by a representative from partner implementing CSO.\n\n\nThe morning session focused on presentations from the CSOs who shared their progress\, implementation challenges and plans ahead. To encourage exchange and linking of experiences\, each presentation followed by in-depth discussions facilitated by the representatives from the participating CSOs.During the breakout session in the afternoon\, participants  reviewed the findings of the capacity assessment exercise and agreed on the key components of the training plan\, that in addition to online and face-to-face opportunities also envisages exchange visits amongst Thai-based implementing CSOs. \nBefore concluding\, IFRC reiterated its profound appreciation to all partners  for their efficient and dedicated  efforts under the “Rights of Migrants in Action” initiative. The meeting ended on a  positive note of commitment  to seek greater cooperation in advancing the migrants’ rights agenda and more importantly –  in changing the negative perceptions associated with migration and ensuring it is instead viewed as an opportunity for our interconnected world. \n\nObjective of the National Roundtable  \nThe overall objective of the inaugural national roundtable is to provide a platform for promoting dialogue and building stronger cooperation amongst partner implementing civil society organisations in Thailand with a view to ensure cross-fertilization of project’s results across the country and their longer-term sustainability. The event will also allow for exploring opportunities for greater engagement among the Red Cross\, regional migration networks and the State. \nSpecific objectives of the national roundtable include the following : \n\nTo share progress\, experiences\, lessons learned\, and challenges encountered during the project implementation in 2016.\nTo explore synergies and identify actions for peer-to-peer support and greater collaboration between the implementing CSOs\, the Red Cross and other stakeholders.\nTo contribute to the civil society consultations in the preparations for the Global Forum on Migration and Development to be held in Bangladesh in December 2016.\nTo review the findings of the capacity assessment exercise and to agree on a training work plan.\n\n\n\n\n………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..\n\nBelow is the rundown of the national roundtable meeting:\n\nSession 1: Background and premise of the national roundtable\n\n\nSession 2: Working effectively together: Implementation updates by partner CSOs\, identifying synergies and opportunities for greater cooperation\nPresentation: Foundation for Education and Development\n                     Foundation for Labour and Employment Promotion\n                     Life Skills Development Foundation\n                     MAP Foundation – Expanding Safety Networks for Migrant Domestic Workers\n\nSession 3: From local to national\, regional and global: Looking ahead to the regional meeting and supporting global processes\nPresentation: Engaging in civil society consultations in the preparations for the Global Forum on Migration and Development\n\nSession 4: Building stronger civil society: Agreeing on key capacity building needs and a training plan\nPresentation: Capacity building needs and training plan\nResource: IFRC Online Learning Catalogue\n\n\n………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..\n\n\n\nFor more information:\nConcept note | Practical information for participants | Agenda | List of participants\nReport of the roundtable\nInfographic of Rights of Migrants in Action See opposite infographic \nMore about Rights of Migrants in Action\nSee photo gallery URL:https://www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org/event/national-roundtable-for-implementing-partners-12-july-2016/ LOCATION:Column Hotel\, 48 Sukhumvit Soi 16\, Klongtoey\, Bangkok\, Thailand CATEGORIES:Meeting,Migration,Thailand ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Group-photo-of-national-roundtable-for-implementing-partners.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement":MAILTO:thailand.regionaloffice@ifrc.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Krasnoyarsk:20160426T080000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Krasnoyarsk:20160426T170000 DTSTAMP:20260501T031834 CREATED:20161012T070857Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170123T063107Z UID:13536-1461657600-1461690000@www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org SUMMARY:Steering Committee Meeting for Regional Resilience Initiative | 26 April 2016 | Bangkok\, Thailand DESCRIPTION:The annual Steering Committee Meeting for the Regional Resilience Initiative (RRI) was held in Bangkok on 26 April 2016.

The four-year initiative (2014-2018) is supporting the 11 Red Cross / Red Crescent Societies in the region. The focus is on enhancing the skills and capacities of National Societies so they can advocate more strongly at a national and regional level for the needs of communities in disaster risk reduction. This is complemented by the strengthening of regional partnerships\, both within our networks and with key partners such as the ASEAN Secretariat and other bodies.\n\nFor more info\, see the page on the recent RRI retreat.

Although not a new concept\, it is important that gender and diversity is applied in a systematic and strategic way across all programmes\, projects and services. It is important that for us at IFRC we strengthen our own capacity and understanding of gender and diversity concepts and its practical application to support the work of National Societies in the region. \n  \nGender and diversity spans all levels of the IFRC and across all sectors\, being integrated into every area of our work. Gender and diversity forms one of the cross cutting issues of our SEA Resilience House Model [see opposite picture] which highlights the approach as an essential component to ensuring National Societies and communities are well prepared to respond to disasters and health emergencies. It also plays a large role in the dignity\, protection and safety of migrant populations and is an important consideration in national and regional legal frameworks to ensure we are accountable to all groups in a population and that we respond to needs in the most effective and efficient way. It is also important that we are able to support National Societies through humanitarian diplomacy to position them well to address gender and diversity both within the National Society and externally\, including helping them communicate good practice and lessons learnt. Vital\, is working with our youth and volunteers to be change agents through dissemination of the key messages within our communities. \nThe training will be based on the IFRC 7 Moves to gender and diversity with the aim to provide: \n\nan introduction to the core concepts of gender\, diversity and sexual and gender-based violence;\nkey frameworks and strategies that exist within the IFRC;\ngender and diversity indicators and considerations\npractical guidance to ensure that we deliver our work with a gender and diversity approach.\n\n  \n  \nMore information on the training: See

This included a ‘stocktaking’ of national disaster law developments (including where states and national societies have worked together to develop or review disaster management laws and regulations); enhancing engagement with ASEAN and preparation for the post-2015 AADMER work programme; developing a regional disaster law advisory group; and discussion of key disaster law themes and pledges coming before the 32nd International Conference of the Red Cross Red Crescent in December 2015. \nThe objectives of the Forum focus on three levels: \n1. Disaster law at the national level \n\n\nDiscuss progress at the country level: strengths\, gaps\, support required.\nHighlight the role of the Red Cross Red Crescent National Societies as auxiliary to government in the humanitarian sector\, and as the ‘community voice’ in national law and policy making processes.\nShare experiences between South-East Asian nations\, and how National Societies and governments have worked/are working in partnership to strengthen disaster laws.\nIdentify what more can be done at the national level.\n\n\n2. Disaster law at the regional level \n\n\nHighlight National Societies’ and IFRC’s contribution to the implementation of AADMER through disaster law initiatives.\nDiscuss the notion of a rules-based ASEAN (post 2015)\, as envisioned by ASEAN leaders: what does tihs mean in the context of disaster law and disaster management?\nIdentify how the Red Cross Red Crescent can work better with ASEAN to promote and support the development/implementation of disaster laws (including at the operational\, policy and strategic levels) and discuss how this can be reflected in the new AADMER work programme.\nDiscuss the idea of establishing a regional disaster law ‘ advisory group’ for South East Asia. See the proposed draft concept note.\n\n\n3. Disaster law at the international level \n\n\nConsider the recent international commitments contained in the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (which include legislating for DRR and utilizing the IDRL Guidelines) and discuss how to implement this at the national level.\nDiscuss progress on implementing the South-East Asia Disaster Law pledge that was signed at the International Conference of the Red Cross Red Crescent in 2011.\nDevelop ideas for a new regional pledge (NS and government) at the upcoming 32nd International Conference of the Red Cross Red Crescent in December 2015.\nCompare national\, regional and international approaches: has enough progress been made? Is there a a need for stronger international mechanisms for disaster law (e.g. international binding agreement)?\nLooking forward to the World Humanitarian Summit\, discus links between disaster law\, legal frameworks and humanitarian effectiveness.\n\n\n  \n \nThe outcomes of the Forum demonstrated how Southeast Asia is a leader when it comes to developing national disaster laws\, and the important role National Societies have to play as the bridge between the community/local level and national level law and policy making processes.

These include the Healthy Lifestyle (HL) Module as IFRC contribution to the prevention of non-communicable diseases (NCD) and the Violence Prevention (VP) Module. An Epidemic Control for Volunteers’ (ECV) toolkit was also produced to complement an existing CBHFA module. In addition\, a planning\, monitoring\, evaluation and reporting (PMER) toolkit was also developed to also support NS in strengthening the programming quality of its community health initiatives\, ensuring that these are evidence-based. \nThe IFRC has also committed to scaling up its contribution to community resilience strengthening\, which requires an all-inclusive and multi-sectoral approach\, and possibly change in mindsets. Many NS have already ventured into integrating CBHFA with other community-based programmes such as disaster risk reduction (DRR)\, water and sanitation\, shelter\, to name a few. These efforts include looking for ways of harmonising their tools\, currently focusing on community-based participatory assessment. \nAsia Pacific Community Health Workshop was conducted on 1-5 June 2015 in Bangkok\, Thailand\, as part of the knowledge sharing and capacity strengthening efforts of the IFRC Asia Pacific Health Team in community health. This workshop is supported by the Finnish Red Cross. \nThe workshop was organised to facilitate knowledge sharing of good practices and lessons learned on evidence-based community health programming – which will ultimately contribute to the enhancement of capacity of NS health managers and coordinators to design\, implement and manage these programmes. \nThe specific objectives of the workshop are to: \n\n\nLearn and discuss recent developments and future directions in CBHFA across the world\, and how these relate to recently-adopted IFRC framework for community resilience and related declarations\, as well as the post-2015 global development goals\, agenda and priorities.\nShare recent experiences\, lessons learnt\, local tools and materials produced through the implementation of programmes using CBHFA approach\, including efforts related to integrated programmes and harmonization of tools.\nRevise on the CBHFA PMER toolkit\, with focus on M&E using experiences of National Societies\nAgree on the way forward and next steps for 2015-2016\n\n\nClick for the brief agenda\, detailed agenda\, concept note and report. \nTo view the materials click below: \n\n\nPre-workshop reading materials: Epidemic Control for Volunteers | Non Communicable Disease | Reproductive\, maternal\, newborn and child health today | Violence Prevention | Framework for Community Resilience\nPresentations and resource materials: click here\nPosters and materials: click here URL:https://www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org/event/june-2015-asia-pacific-community-health-workshop-bangkok-thailand/ CATEGORIES:Health,Thailand END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Krasnoyarsk:20150203T080000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Krasnoyarsk:20150205T170000 DTSTAMP:20260501T031834 CREATED:20161025T095702Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170123T064547Z UID:14467-1422950400-1423155600@www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org SUMMARY:Regional Resilience Workshop | Feb 2015 | Bangkok\, Thailand DESCRIPTION:Given the outcomes of the 6th Asian Ministerial Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction (AMCDRR) in June 2014\, and moving forward to the 32nd International Conference of the Red Cross Red Crescent in 2015\, National Societies have an important role in bringing the concerns of communities to the attention decision makers and opinion leaders.As such\, advocating for the needs of vulnerable communities is one of IFRC’s priorities. \nIn Southeast Asia\, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies’ (IFRC) Regional Resilience Initiative seeks to reduce the impact of natural disasters on vulnerable communities by engaging in stronger advocacy and diplomacy at both a national and regional level. \n\n  \n\nRegional Resilience Workshop\, Bangkok\, 3-5 February 2015The IFRC South-East Asia regional delegation hosted a regional workshop focused on building skills in conducting advocacy and humanitarian diplomacy for disaster risk reduction from 3-5 February 2015.While diplomacy is often conducted by the leadership of National Societies\, senior technical staff – across the various areas of a National Society\, including disaster management\, disaster law\, disaster risk reduction\, health and communications – have a critical role that supports this goal. Therefore staff from across these areas were the primary target group for the workshop. \nSpecific objectives of the Workshop were to: \n\nIncrease understanding and capacity to conduct humanitarian diplomacy for disaster risk reduction and disaster law\, while building regional cooperation and understanding of engagement on advocacy partners such as ASEAN and ADPC\, as well as other partners working on disaster risk reduction.\nStrengthen cooperation and coordinated advocacy between National Societies and their respective National Disaster Management Authority counterparts.\nIdentify common advocacy messaging based on community concerns (VCA analysis results) and identify messaging for national and regional level advocacy in disaster risk reduction and disaster law (legislative advocacy). Further to this\, address how to integrate beneficiary communication into disaster management programming with a specific emphasis on using the voice and needs of beneficiaries for advocacy with examples from National Societies in the region.\nEstablish regional advocacy and humanitarian diplomacy objectives for 2015-2016 including a review on methods to increase engagement at the regional level with ASEAN and the national level with National Disaster Management Authority counterparts. This also includes identifying needs and an implementation strategy to conduct additional trainings on humanitarian diplomacy\, communication\, beneficiary communication or disaster law at the national level in 2015-2016\, as well as the 2015 International Conference\, Sendai\, etc.\n\nThe workshop was attended by representatives from Cambodia\, Indonesia\, Laos\, Myanmar\, Philippines\, Thailand\, Timor-Leste and Viet Nam Red Cross societies. A number of countries were also accompanied by a member of their government’s national disaster management office. \nThe whole process of the workshop has also been captured in Storify\, to view\, click here. \n\n  \n\nHere are some resources leading up to and from the workshop: \n1.
