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;TZID=Asia/Krasnoyarsk:20170508T080000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Krasnoyarsk:20170508T170000 DTSTAMP:20260428T151523 CREATED:20170605T035452Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170608T031256Z UID:19226-1494230400-1494262800@www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org SUMMARY:Myanmar Celebrates World Red Cross Day Ceremony as Union Level | 8 May 2017 | Nay Pyi Taw\, Myanmar DESCRIPTION:Myanmar Celebrates World Cross Day Ceremony as Union Level 2017_3\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Myanmar Celebrates World Cross Day Ceremony as Union Level 2017_2\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Myanmar Celebrates World Cross Day Ceremony as Union Level 2017_1\n Myanmar Celebrates World Cross Day Ceremony as Union Level 2017_1\n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n\n  \nWorld Red Cross Day ceremony was celebrated at Myanmar International Convention Center II\, Naypyitaw and the Patron of Myanmar Red Cross Society\, Union President U Htin Kyaw addressed the audience in the ceremony. \nThe Union President of Myanmar\, H.E U Htin Kyaw\, Union Ministers and Vice Ministers of respective Ministries\, Chairman of Nay Pyi Taw Council and representatives\, Honorary President Professor Dr. Tha Hla Shwe\, President Professor Dr. Daw Mya Thu\, executive committee members\, Central Council members\, Chairmen of State and Region Red Cross Supervisory Committees\, Red Cross Brigade members\, representatives from International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC)\, International Federation of Red Cross Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) and partner National Societies\, special guests\, donors\, volunteers and staffs\, about 400 people attended the ceremony. \nThe Union President\, H.E U Htin Kyaw affirmed “Also with increased occurrences of disasters\, the Myanmar Red Cross Society needs to redouble its efforts in providing first aid\, disaster preparedness\, responses and disaster risk reduction activities.

In complex contexts with increasing vulnerabilities\, our ability to access people in need is constantly changing. But our volunteers and staffs are finding creative and innovative ways to adapt local solutions to reach people in need and help them prepare for dealing with and recover from these challenges\,” said Professor Dr. Daw Mya Thu\, the President of Myanmar Red Cross Society. \nThe theme of 2017 World Red Cross Day is “Everywhere for Everyone.”  Myanmar Red Cross Society commits to maintain the momentum of good work and success that it has achieved to continue striving for improvement and betterment to help the people according to their needs and to thrive as community based humanitarian organization by promoting the role of youth\, the role of people living with disabilities and empowering women.

Part of this large\, and growing\, community\, has experienced significant trauma in their journeys emigrating to Thailand and in their vulnerability to legal protection\, both in Thailand and in Myanmar. Natural disasters\, personal conflicts\, painful experiences\, traffic accidents and myriad social pressures can cause intense psychological stress on individuals and on larger communities. Currently\, there is very little structure in place or resources available to help migrants deal with these issues. \nIn this training\, Thai Red Cross Society provided the technical support with four senior nurses/PSS trainers to facilitate this training for TLSDF/Rak Dek with the technical support from IFRC CCST BKK which facilitated this training. There were 27 community volunteers participating in this PSS trainings. The training was conducted by using the community-based PSS training materials of IFRC Reference Center for phychosocial support which are toolkits with seven modules\, namely\,\n– Crisis events and PSS\n– Stress and coping\n– Loss and grief\n– Community-based Psychosocial Support\n– PSS First Aid and supportive communication\n– Children\n– Supporting volunteers and staff \nThe Feedbacks from each trainee were collected and recorded for further analysis. It was found that the results of the participants’ expectation were high and reached their expectation.

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.

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

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:20170213 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20170218 DTSTAMP:20260428T151523 CREATED:20170223T080934Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170613T102951Z UID:18132-1486944000-1487375999@www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org SUMMARY:Peer-to-Peer Exchange Visit of Lao Red Cross to Nepal Red Cross Society on Radio Programming and Community Engagement | 13-17 February 2017 | Kathmandu\, Nepal DESCRIPTION:Lao Red Cross\, with support from IFRC\, visited Nepal and met with Nepal Red Cross Society (NRCS)\, Association of Community Radios Nepal (APORAB) and BBC Media Action on 13-17 February 2017 in Kathmandu\, Nepal to do the radio peer-to-peer exchange with NRCS for the Lao Red Cross’ Communications and Fundraising Department (CFD). \nOutcomes\nOn day 1 they had a meeting about the overview of NRCS’ CFD and community engagement and accountibility (CEA) initiatives – NRCS presented about Hotline 1130\, the newspapers’ Q&A columns\, Facebook communication\, NRCS’ radio programme and street dramas by NRCS. \n\nVolunteers from 14 of the worst quake-affected districts in Nepal were trained how to to carry out interviews with community members.
