This Field School is part of a wider\, global effort to ensure the integration of gender and diversity in Vulnerability and Capacity Assessments (VCA) and Disaster Risk Reduction process for National Societies. The training was held in Ayutthaya and Sing Buri province in Thailand and was attended by six National Societies including Thai Red Cross Society\, Lao Red Cross\, Cambodian Red Cross\, Philippine Red Cross\, Malaysian Red Crescent\, Nepal Red Cross\, three Partner National Society representatives from American Red Cross (Vietnam)\, French Red Cross (Vietnam) and Australian Red Cross (Philippines)\, and the IFRC. The Field School was structured around in-class training and field visits to a nearby community. The community chosen experiences recurring flooding every year between August and November and have been working with the Thai Red Cross through their Community Based Disaster Risk Reduction Programme\, to identify and reduce risk\, and enhance coping strategies for all in their community. \nThrough a series of interactive sessions and participatory-based information gathering in the field\, participants to the Field School addressed the importance of gender and diversity in VCA approaches\, considering the differences of needs and priorities\, vulnerabilities and capacities from different groups to ensure we ‘leave no one behind’ during our planning and assessment processes. The ultimate goal\, to achieve greater individual and community resilience . Mrs. Dujdao Pengpak\, 42\, Village Head said “It was a good experience to exchange knowledge on the areas such as disaster prevention and I learned a lot especially in improving our old ways [of dealing with disasters] and making our community more resilient.” \nClick here to read “Helping villages in Thailand improve their old ways” – a story on this VCA field school\, on IFRC website \nSupporting Documents\n» Agenda of the field school\n» Concept Note\n» Participant List\n» Guidance Note: Gender and Diversity-Sensitive VCA \nSupporting Resources\n» Case Study: Mainstreaming Gender and Diversity in Disaster Risk Reduction Initiatives\n» IFRC Strategic framework on gender and diversity – 2013 to 2020\n» Infographic: A call to action: Preventing and Responding to Gender-based Violence (GBV) in disasters\n» Minimum standard commitments to gender and diversity in emergency programming\n» Snapshot: Focus on Gender and Diversity in Disaster Risk Reduction\n» Unseen\, Unheard: Gender-based Violence in Disasters – Asia-Pacific case studies \nOutcome Documents\n» Report \n» Pre- and Post-Test results\n» Trees as results of the brainstorming session \n» For more information on VCA\, go to VCA webpage at IFRC’s online library \n» For more information on community resilience\, go to:\n» YouTube video: Roadmap to Community Resilience by IFRC\n» Publication: Roadmap to Community Resilience: A step-by-step guidance on how to operationalize the IFRC’s Framework for Community Resilience (FCR). \nPresentations\nDay 1 and 2\n» Introduction to Community Resilience and VCA Approach\n» Gender and Diversity in VCA\n» [Quiz Handout] Gender\, Diversity and Violence \nDay 3\n» Community-based Disaster Risk Reduction (CBDRR) by Thai Red Cross Society URL:https://www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org/event/gender-and-diversity-approaches-to-vca-field-school-may2017/ CATEGORIES:Disaster risk reduction,Gender and Diversity,Training,Vulnerability and Capacity Assessment END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20170509 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20170515 DTSTAMP:20260501T053012 CREATED:20170606T091407Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170607T072514Z UID:19300-1494288000-1494806399@www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org SUMMARY:Sexual and Gender-based Violence (SGBV) research – Initial training for the field research | 9-14 May 2017 | Lao PDR DESCRIPTION:The initial trainings for the field research on sexual and gender-based violence took place on from 9-14 May 2017 in Lao PDR. As part of this research project\, all data collection teams have to be trained for six days. The trainings include sensitization on sexual and gender-based violence issues\, introduction to the questionnaire and focus-group discussions (FGDs) and multiple practice sessions to ensure that the research is carried out in an ethical\, safe and confidential manner. \nThe training was six days long with a series of debrief meetings on the seventh day. \n \nKey sessions included:\n1) An overview of what SGBV is\, how it is different during disasters and how to define specific types of SGBV\, including sexual violence\, domestic violence\, early/forced marriage and child sexual abuse. The multi-sectoral response for a survivor was also explained and reviewed. Participants were tested on their knowledge through a series of quizzes and case scenarios\, including the gallery walk.\n2) Detailed overview of the guiding principles\, an ethical approach to data collection and prevention of sexual exploitation and abuse. The same key messages were reviewed every day during the training\, including:\n– gender inequality is the root cause of SGBV\n– Putting the survivor at the center through the guiding principles: Safety\, Confidentiality\, Respect and Non-discrimination\n– Definitions of SGBV\n– Code of conduct during fieldwork\n– Stress management for the data collection team\n3) An in depth session on key sections of the fieldwork manual for data collectors\, including duties and responsibilities of each team member\, explanation of the full questionnaire and the rationale behind each question\, explanation of the Focus Group Discussions\, review of keeping safe in the field and how to implement the guiding principles of safety\, confidentiality\, respect and non-discrimination during interviews. Each team member had to sign a pledge of confidentiality and ethics and the Lao Red Cross child protection policy.\n4) An overview of the open data kit (ODK)\, what it can and cannot do in the area of information management and how to use the hand held devices. This is also a key area in the fieldwork manual. Field supervisors also had an additional orientation session in which they learned how to manage the devices\, including charging the phones\, uploading of forms and how to review forms at the end of the day for mistakes.\n5) Sharing of cultural considerations by the field supervisors coming from the Oudomxay and Sekong provinces on cultural practices and traditions the data collectors may have to face during field work. The most disaster affected villages include a number of different ethnic groups\, who speak different language and have unique cultural rituals.\n6) Two Lao Government representatives\, one from the National Commission on the Advancement for Women (NCAW) and the National Statistics Bureau\, shared their experience of working on the UNFPA supported 2014 National Level Prevalence Survey on Violence Against Women and Girls. This session reviewed the most important Do’s and Don’ts for the data collectors in the field (please see checklist below) and also gave further insight on how the field supervisors can finalize their fieldwork plan and do effective household respondent selection. \nSupporting Documents\n» Agenda\n» Dos and Don’ts – Field data-collector checklist for research on sexual and gender-based violence in disasters URL:https://www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org/event/initial-trainings-for-field-research-on-sexual-and-gender-based-violence-may-2017/ CATEGORIES:Gender and Diversity,Training END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20170330 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20170331 DTSTAMP:20260501T053012 CREATED:20170331T031422Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170614T032001Z UID:18655-1490832000-1490918399@www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org SUMMARY:2nd Training on Basic First Aid for GRAB taxi drivers in Thailand | 30 March 2017 | Bangkok\, Thailand DESCRIPTION:trianing-first-aid-grab-taxi-march2017\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n trianing-first-aid-grab-taxi-march2017-5\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n trianing-first-aid-grab-taxi-march2017-4\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n trianing-first-aid-grab-taxi-march2017-3\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n trianing-first-aid-grab-taxi-march2017-2\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n\n\nTwenty three GRAB taxi\, GRAB cars and GRAB bikes drivers actively participated in first aid training which included basic first aid theory and practical sessions provided by the Thai Red Cross Training Center for First Aid and Health Care. \nThis second training included first aid\, CPR – cardiopulmonary resuscitation\, choking\, fractures and dislocations\, legs injuries\, preparing and referring to hospitals.

The project supports Red Cross Movement partners in Cambodia\, Laos\, Viet Nam and Philippines to increase the capacity of local government authorities and Red Cross for disaster preparedness and response through working together to improve community-based disaster risk reduction tools. Thus\, as part of the project an innovative and user-friendly risk mapping method for urban Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) has been developed. \nAim\nTo present this new risk-mapping method to Red Cross National Society staff and representatives from authorities who are actively involved in Disaster Risk Management and in disaster preparedness and response. \nObjectives\nAfter this 3-day training\, the participants are able to:\n• Explain:\no Basic concept of QGIS\no Benefits of using QGIS for participatory development of a multi-disaster risk map to support Disaster Risk Management\no Steps of information collection in the community (including usage of GPS in smart phone)\no Steps of using QGIS to develop and update the multi-disaster risk map\no Steps of using QGIS risk map for planning\, post-disaster damage and need assessment\, and raising awareness for community at urban and peri-urban areas\n• Practise participatory development and update the multi-disaster risk map at urban and peri-urban areas using the QGIS software\n• Develop an action plan for developing QGIS multi-disaster risk map after the training \nExpected Outcomes\n– Participants have increased knowledge and ability to put into practice the news participatory mapping method in order to develop local urban multi-disaster risks maps\n– Participants have increased knowledge and ability to put into practice the key concepts of community participation and gender and disability inclusion in risk mapping \nParticipants\nViet Nam Red Cross Society staff and/or representatives from Disaster Management authorities who are actively involved in Disaster Risk Management or disaster preparedness and response and who are willing to pilot the new mapping method in urban context. \nOutcomes\nDuring the workshop\, the project team members from Cambodia\, Philippines\, and Lao PDR discussed and worked in group to practise and draw maps through the software. The development process of these community maps was based on paper mapping and importing of the data from paper mapping into the QGIS program. \nAfter the workshop completion\, the project team and participants from VNRC and the government partners provided feedback and comment about the utilization and practice of QGIS software including the handout/manual which provided the step-by-step procedure. \nNext Steps\nAt the end of the project\, in October 2017\, a second Regional event will take place. Lesson learned from the use of this participatory multi-disaster risks mapping method in support to DRM planning will be gathered and documented as inputs for the finalization of the method.

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 URL:https://www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org/event/epidemic-control-for-volunteers-ecv-training-for-community-volunteers-in-the-highest-malaria-and-dengue-prevalence-district-19-21-december-2016-lao-pdr/ CATEGORIES:Health,Lao PDR,Training END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20161214 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20161217 DTSTAMP:20260501T053012 CREATED:20161229T073839Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170123T061422Z UID:17079-1481673600-1481932799@www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org 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 URL:https://www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org/event/cbhfa-mosquito-borne-diseases-and-vector-control-and-epidemic-control-for-volunteers-14-16-december-2016-lao-pdr/ CATEGORIES:Health,Lao PDR,Training END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20161212 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20161217 DTSTAMP:20260501T053012 CREATED:20170109T071859Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170123T061442Z UID:17371-1481500800-1481932799@www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org SUMMARY:Youth as Agents of Behavioural Change (YABC) Peer Educators Training | 12-16 December 2016 | Lao PDR DESCRIPTION:The Youth as Agents of Behavioural Change (YABC) Peer Educators training in Laos was held by facilitation of Youth and Volunteering Officer from IFRC together with two Thai Red Cross facilitators (one staff and one volunteer) on 12-16 December 2016 targeting 20 participants from the Ministry of Education\, Red Cross HQ (DM\, Health and Youth)\, Red Cross Youth Clubs from the high school and university\, Youth Union and one staff from Thai Red Cross Youth Bureau.

The event took place in Hoa Quy Community Hall in Hoa Quy commune\, Da Nang City with around 100 community people headed by a community leader and 60 high school students. \nOutcomes of the activity include: \n\nDa Nang Red Cross (RC) Chapter has established a connection with the Youth Union and could potentially gain the support from the Youth Union for future activities.\nDa Nang RC Youth volunteers became confident with their first initiative and developed a sustainable youth empowerment programme with a small investment between USD 200-300 in a close cooperation with the Youth Union for an inspiration of change.\nVietnam RC Youth department gained a valuable experience from Da Nang Chapter and decided to expand this type of joint programme in other Chapters from 2017\nThis successful story will be shared with Southeast Asia Youth Network for other NSs to follow the model.\n\nClick for more information on Youth and Volunteering URL:https://www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org/event/yabc-youth-workshop-in-social-inclusion/ CATEGORIES:Training,Viet Nam,Youth and Volunteering END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Krasnoyarsk:20161028T080000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Krasnoyarsk:20161028T170000 DTSTAMP:20260501T053012 CREATED:20161109T101535Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170123T065147Z UID:15517-1477641600-1477674000@www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org SUMMARY:Training on Gender and Diversity Mainstreaming in Emergencies | 28 October 2016 | Ha Noi DESCRIPTION:Hanoi\, October 28\, 2016 – The Viet Nam Red Cross Society (VNRC)\, with support from the French Red Cross and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC)\, organized the Gender and Diversity Mainstreaming in Emergencies Training for all VNRC departments. \nThe training was to provide trainees with basic definitions of\, the importance of and methods to mainstream Gender and Diversity in emergencies. \nPhoto caption: Participants working on exercises about gender and diversity mainstreaming in emergencies (Credit: French RC). \nThe following are the resources from the training sessions: \n\nGender and Diversity concept (includes speed debating)\nGender and Diversity mainstreaming\nGroup Discussions (bus stop)\nExample of Disaster Needs Assessment (household level)\nQuiz: Gender or sex?\n\n  \n  URL:https://www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org/event/training-on-gender-and-diversity-mainstreaming-in-emergencies/ CATEGORIES:Gender and Diversity,Training,Viet Nam ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Backdrop-2x4_Gender-talks.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Krasnoyarsk:20161006T080000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Krasnoyarsk:20161007T170000 DTSTAMP:20260501T053012 CREATED:20161123T083504Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170123T062743Z UID:16040-1475740800-1475859600@www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org SUMMARY:Civil Society Organisations (CSO) Capacity Building Training | 6-7 October 2016 | Bangkok\, Thailand DESCRIPTION:In follow-up to the findings of the capacity assessment exercise\, on 6-7 October IFRC Country Cluster Support Team (CCST) Bangkok organised a capacity building training for partner-implementing Civil Society Organisations (CSOs). \n \nA two-fold objective of the training was to: \n\nEnhance quality of financial planning\, monitoring and reporting of IFRC-supported projects;\nPromote better understanding and enhance compliance with IFRC procurement rules and procedures.\n\nDelivered by the CCST personnel\, the training module included theoretical sessions and practical exercises and covered a wide array of issues  such as human resources\, project visibility\, financial management\, procurement and logistics rules and regulations. \n  \nTraining documents: \n\nAgenda\nPowerpoint Presentation: HR rules and regulations\nPowerpoint Presentation: Public communication and use of logos\nPowerpoint Presentation: IFRC procurement procedures\nThai Labour Law [in Thai language]\nPowerpoint Presentation: Financial management\n\n  \nFor more information\, visit Rights of Migrants in Action URL:https://www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org/event/civil-society-organisations-cso-capacity-building-training/ CATEGORIES:Migration,Thailand,Training END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Krasnoyarsk:20160801T080000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Krasnoyarsk:20160805T170000 DTSTAMP:20260501T053012 CREATED:20161018T034336Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180116T052834Z UID:13786-1470038400-1470416400@www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org 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 URL:https://www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org/event/aug-2016-southeast-asia-refreshers-training-and-annual-network-meeting-kuala-lumpur-malaysia/ CATEGORIES:Gender and Diversity,Malaysia,Meeting,Training END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20160428 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20160429 DTSTAMP:20260501T053012 CREATED:20160627T003012Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170123T063037Z UID:5880-1461801600-1461887999@www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org SUMMARY:Disaster Law Orientation Session | 28 April 2016 | Philippines DESCRIPTION: \nOn 28th April\, the Philippine Red Cross hosted a ‘Disaster Law Orientation Session’ to introduce their plans for disaster law work in the Philippines in 2016 and beyond.  This initiative follows several years of disaster law work\, which has included stakeholder consultation workshops and providing feedback into national law and policy development processes. \nThis new phase of work in the Philippines will focus largely on building the knowledge and capacity of Philippine Red Cross staff and volunteers in disaster law and legislative advocacy. \n\n“As an auxiliary to government and the most prominent community-based organization in our country\, Philippine Red Cross is exceptionally well-placed to support the implementation and dissemination of disaster laws and procedures”\, explained the Secretary General of PRC\, Ms. Gwendolyn Pang\, in her opening speech.   “We will be actively working to build the capacity of our National Society though disaster law initiatives. This will put us in a stronger\, more informed position to influence national law and policy processes in the interests of the communities which we serve”\, she stated.   \nThere was a great turnout at the orientation event from across the RCRC movement\, including Partner National Societies and the ICRC. \n \nPowerpoint presentations from the orientation session: \n\nIntroduction to Disaster Law by Lucia Cipullo\, IFRC Regional Disaster Law Delegate for Southeast Asia\nOrientation session for Philippine Disaster Law Initiative by Resty Lou Talamayan\, Philippine Red Cross Disaster law focal point URL:https://www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org/event/disaster-law-orientation-session-philippines-28-april-2016/ CATEGORIES:Disaster Law,Philippines,Training END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Krasnoyarsk:20160405T080000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Krasnoyarsk:20160408T170000 DTSTAMP:20260501T053012 CREATED:20161012T065709Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170123T063310Z UID:13524-1459843200-1460134800@www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org SUMMARY:Climate Change Adaptation Training | 5-8 April 2016 | Vangvieng\, Laos 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 URL:https://www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org/event/apr-2016-climate-change-adaptation-training-vangvieng-laos/ CATEGORIES:Climate Change,Lao PDR,Training END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Krasnoyarsk:20160307T080000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Krasnoyarsk:20160311T170000 DTSTAMP:20260501T053012 CREATED:20161010T104844Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170123T063420Z UID:13362-1457337600-1457715600@www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org SUMMARY:Climate Change Training of Trainers (TOT) | 7-11 March 2016 | Yangon\, Myanmar DESCRIPTION:Climate Change is considered as a cross-cutting issue that should be taken into consideration while implementing community-based activities in the field of Health\, Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR)\, including the various thematic areas\, phases and cross-cutting themes under DRR. In line with this\, the Climate Change Training of Trainers was organized in Yangon\, Myanmar\, from 7-11 March 2016.  \nSee Concept Note | Agenda | Report | Content of Training (bottom of the page) \n  \nClimate change\, DRR and Health \n\n\n\n \nMRCS Community-Based Disaster Risk Reduction (CBDRR) Manual sets out that climate change adaptation (CCA) and community-based disaster risk reduction should be integrated to enhance aid effectiveness and reduce confusion for communities. In the context of increasing risks associated with the hydro-meteorological hazards and conditions related to climate variability and change\, the rationale for integration of climate change into community programming is therefore to prepare the communities for any adverse effects climate change may have for their lives\, health and livelihoods. In addition\, it is very important to identify areas in on-going community-based DRR or health programs where efforts to address both climate change and environmental degradation can be combined to increase the overall resilience of communities\, as they are often closely inter-linked drivers of risk and should not be addressed in isolation.\n\n\n \nThere is ample evidence of the impact of climate change in various health issues\, such as vector-borne diseases\, water borne diseases\, temperature related illnesses as well as effects of food and water shortages. For example\, variation in climatic conditions\, such as temperature\, rainfall patterns and humidity\, has a profound effect on the longevity of mosquitoes\, on the development of malaria and dengue parasites in the mosquito and\, subsequently\, on their transmission. Indirectly\, climate change could also have an effect by influencing environmental factors such as vegetation and availability of breeding sites. MRCS health programming will need to take into account such emerging trends.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n                                                     Group activity\nParticipants: \nMaximum of 30 participants composed of around 20 staff from the DM and Health departments\, and 10 volunteers \n\nMRCS staff working for DM\, Health\, CSR or CC related programmes;\nRCVs who can facilitate in connection with CC to community and RCVs;\nStaff or RCVs who can work for MRCS at least 3 years continuously and are committed to MRCS;\nBasic knowledge on CC and interested to study & disseminate to other;\nAppropriate Education level (at least Matriculation or Graduate)\nExperience in facilitating trainings; and\nRepresentation of the States/Regions/ townships more affected by climate change\n\nOverall\, the participants were a mix of DRR and Health staff and volunteers. However\, there might be a larger representation from DM/DRR department.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n                                  Presentation during one of the sessions\n\n  \nObjective:  \n\nto build additional capacities of already qualified and experienced facilitators and/or programme officers and/or Red Cross volunteers from the MRCS HQ and branches\nto help them integrate climate change into regular MRCS programmes within a resilience-building context (and not as stand-alone CC initiatives).\nto enhance existing facilitation capacities of the participants to help them effectively deliver key climate change-related messages using participatory and innovative approaches\n\n\n\n\n\nContent of the training: \nMain facilitation were held in English with direct/simultaneous translations to be provided during the sessions.  However\, most of the power point presentations were in English. \n\nBasic Terminologies | see similar Powerpoint presentation | Session plan | Group Exercise\nBasics of Climate Science and its Humanitarian Consequences | see similar Powerpoint presentation | Session plan\nBuilding Resilient Communities in a Changing Climate through the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement | Powerpoint presentation | Session plan | Resource: IFRC 30th Resolution 2007 | Climate Guide\nDisaster Risk Reduction\, Climate Change\, and Sustainable Development: Synergies and Overlaps\nClimate Change Adaptation and Climate Change Mitigation | see similar Powerpoint presentations and resources on Climate Change Adaptation | Powerpoint presentation on Climate Change Mitigation | Session plan on Climate Change Mitigation\nEarly Warning Early Action and Use of Forecast Information across different Timescales | Powerpoint presentation in Burmese | Early Warning Translation in Burmese | Reference: Early warning early action learning guidebook and learning manual\nHealth and Climate | Powerpoint presentation | Exercise\nGender\, Diversity and Climate | Powerpoint presentation\nYouth and Climate\nCommunicating Climate Change:  Public Awareness\, Education\, and the Use of Various Information Platforms | Powerpoint presentation | Session Plan\nClimate Policy Engagements and Advocacy | see similar Powerpoint presentation | Session plan\nNational Adaptation Plans (NAPs) and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) | Powerpoint presentation | National Adaptation Programmes of Action (NAPA) of Myanmar\nClimate Finance | Powerpoint presentation | Resources: Climate Finance in Asia | Gender and Climate Finance | Global Landscape of Climate Finance 2015 | Accessing Climate Finance | The Global Climate Finance Architecture | 10 Things to know about Climate Finance in 2015 | Green Climate Fund\nClimate Risk Assessment  | Powerpoint presentation | Resources: A quick guide on Climate Smart VCA to DRR | National CCA Plan: Myanmar’s National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA) to Climate Change 2012 |Scientific information tables-Myanmar | Exercise: Secondary information sources\nMainstreaming Climate Change into Programmes | Reference: Minimum Standards for local climate-smart disaster risk reduction | Exercise Minimum Standards on climate smart Disaster Risk Reduction\nAction planning | Powerpoint presentation | Questionnaire for individual plan | Session plan\n\n \nClick for more information on:\n\n\n\nMyanmar Red Cross Society\nClimate Change Adaptation\nGames on climate change training\, see RCRC Climate Centre link URL:https://www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org/event/climate-change-training-of-trainers-tot-yangon-myanmar/ CATEGORIES:Climate Change,Myanmar,Training END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20160128T080000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20160128T170000 DTSTAMP:20260501T053012 CREATED:20160824T210106Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180205T014917Z UID:9171-1453968000-1454000400@www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org SUMMARY:IFRC 7 Moves to gender and diversity training | 28 January 2016 | Bangkok\, Thailand DESCRIPTION:On the 28th January 2016 the IFRC team in Bangkok\, together with representatives from American Red Cross and Thai Red Cross will take part in a one-day gender and diversity awareness training.  In the past few years IFRC and National Societies have been making gender and diversity more and more of a priority. 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 concept note | agenda | practical information | participant list \n\n\nIFRC: Minimum standard commitments to gender and diversity in emergency programming – pilot version\nIFRC: Strategy Framework on Gender and Diversity Issues 2013 – 2020\nIFRC: Strategy on Violence Prevention\, Mitigation and Response 2010-2020 \nIFRC: Gender Policy\n\n\nUnseen\, Unheard: Gender-based violence in disasters – global study (2015) \nInfographic: Female Migration in Asia Pacific\nIFRC: A practical guide to gender-sensitive for disaster management (2010)\n\n  \n\n     \n  \n\nPresentation: Applying Gender\, Diversity and SGBV prevention in our operations: Dignity\, Access\, Participation and Safety (DAPS) Operationalizing Gender and Diversity in Disaster\nQuiz: Looking at global/context specific statistics\, gaining skills to gather rapid secondary gender and diversity assessment from available data: Gender-Based Violence Quiz and Quiz handouts\nGroup Work on PARTICIPATION: Beneficiary case studies: assessing and reducing risks and capacities through implementing DAPS\nSample: Sex and age disaggregated data in needs assessment\nVideo: To Serve with Pride: Zero tolerance for sexual exploitation and abuse by our own staff URL:https://www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org/event/jan-2016-ifrc-7-moves-to-gender-and-diversity-training-bangkok-thailand/ CATEGORIES:Gender and Diversity,Thailand,Training END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Krasnoyarsk:20160125T080000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Krasnoyarsk:20160127T170000 DTSTAMP:20260501T053012 CREATED:20160824T220115Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170123T063554Z UID:9198-1453708800-1453914000@www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org SUMMARY:Climate Change Training | 25-27 January 2016 | Hue\, Vietnam DESCRIPTION:Vietnam’s long coastline\, geographic location\, and diverse topography and climates contribute to its being one of the most hazard-prone countries of the Asia-Pacific region\, with storms and flooding\, in particular\, responsible for economic and human losses. Given that a high proportion of the country’s population and economic assets (including irrigated agriculture) are located in coastal lowlands and deltas\, Vietnam has been ranked among the five countries likely to be most affected by climate change\, its Mekong Delta is one of the world’s three most vulnerable deltas (together with the Nile Delta in Egypt and the Ganges Delta in Bangladesh) to the sea level rising. According to climate change scenarios\, in late 21st century\, Viet Nam’s yearly mean temperature will go up by 2-30C\, the total yearly and seasonal rainfall increases while the rainfall in dry seasons will decrease\, the sea level can rise by 75 cm to 1 m compared to the 1980-1999 period. If the sea level rises by 1 m\, about 40% of the Mekong Delta area\, 11% of the Red River Delta and 3% of coastal provinces will be inundated (over 20% of Ho Chi Minh City flooded); about 10-12% of Viet Nam’s population are directly impacted and the country will lose around 10% of GDP. Climate change impacts on Viet Nam are serious threats to the cause of poverty reduction\, the realization of millennium goals and the country’s sustainable development. \nThe Vietnam Red Cross (‘VNRC’) has long and intensive experience\, almost 20 years\, in carrying out disaster risk reduction programs which also contributed to climate change adaptation and mitigation. Though playing an active role in this field for a long time\, VNRC still identified a gap in its capacity with regard to the climate change. Therefore\, two VNRC staff and one IFRC Vietnam Delegation have attended the Regional Master Climate Change Training in Phuket\, Thailand in September 2014. The training aimed to build up a pool of climate change trainers who will then facilitate trainings in SEA National Societies. Following this training\, the VNRC staff has successfully advocated the VNRC leaders to integrate climate change into the on-going and future CBDRM/DRR projects. \n\n\nIn order to facilitate the integration\, the VNRC\, with support from IFRC Bangkok\, organized a climate change training in Hue\, Vietnam\, from 25 – 27 January 2016 for 25 VNRC trainers at provincial level who will subsequently be mobilized for facilitating trainings for communities and promote integration of climate change into their projects. \nFor more details\, please see the training’s Terms of Reference/Concept Note | Agenda | Participant List (see Annex 2 of Report) | Report \n  \nPower point presentations during the training\, all presentations are in Vietnamese [VN] : \n\nOverview of global and Vietnam climate change; Basic science and facts of climate change – past\, present and the future [VN]\nImpacts of climate change [VN]\nFrequently used basic climate change terminologies and their definitions [VN]\nSharing the main results of COP 21\, content of Paris Agreements and its implications to Vietnam [VN]\nVietnam Government and climate change: National Strategy and Plan of Action on Climate Change and National Target Program for responding to Climate Change [VN]\nResponse to climate change (adaptation and mitigation) and mainstreaming (including in VCA process) [VN]\nHealth and climate change [VN]\nAssessing climatic risks at community level and mainstreaming adaptation in community based project activities [VN]\nEarly warning early action; Public awareness public education [VN]\nOrientation of Viet Nam Red Cross on disaster preparedness and response (including mainstreaming of climate change) [VN]\n\n\nReference materials for the training participants:\n\n\nSummary for Policymakers: Viet Nam Special Report on Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation (Jan 2015) [EN]\nApproval of Vietnam contribution in Paris Agreement (COP 21)\nVietnam’s recommended contribution for intended nationally determined contribution (INDC) URL:https://www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org/event/climate-change-training-hue-vietnam/ LOCATION:Hue\, Viet Nam CATEGORIES:Climate Change,Training,Viet Nam END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Krasnoyarsk:20150427T080000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Krasnoyarsk:20150502T170000 DTSTAMP:20260501T053012 CREATED:20161030T094046Z LAST-MODIFIED:20171101T032120Z UID:14728-1430121600-1430586000@www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org SUMMARY:Red Cross Red Crescent Induction Training for Governments of ASEAN in ACE Programme | 27 April - 2 May 2015 | Semarang\, Indonesia DESCRIPTION:IFRC and Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) co-facilitated a Red Cross Red Crescent Induction training for governments of ASEAN on 27 April – 2 May 2015 in Indonesia\, as part of the AHA Centre Executive (ACE) Programme.
