SUMMARY:Training on emergency WASH response and preparedness for Red Cross volunteers | 25-26 Oct 2017 | Champasak Province\, Lao PDR
DESCRIPTION:(Photo caption: Handover of AP 700 CL Manpack water treatment equipment to Champasak provincial Red Cross branch\, photo by Lao Red Cross) \nMuang Pakse District in Champasak Province is located in the southern part of Lao PDR which is disaster-prone\, with 112\,000 people living in the area. The district is bordered by Salavan Province to the north\, Sekong Province to the northeast\, Attapeu Province to the east\, Cambodia to the south\, and Thailand to the west. \nThis water\, sanitation and hygiene promotion in emergencies (E-WASH) training for Red Cross Volunteers (RCV) was organized in two days in Muang Pakse District\, Champasak Province\, in preparedness of disaster management and risk reduction and health & hygiene promotion in this disaster affected area\, from 25 to 26 October 2017. \nThe objectives of this training are: \n\nTo improve the knowledge and skills about water and sanitation related disease in emergency and hygiene promotion of Red Cross Volunteers in four disaster -prone districts and 8 community leaders from the villages located in Muang Pakse District.\nTo demonstrate water treatment and sanitation\, hygiene promotion in emergencies.\nTo familiarize with technical and practical aspects of the processes of water treatment and ensuring water quality by using AP700 CL Man-Packs and on temporary latrine / permanent latrine constructions during emergencies.\nTo develop and discuss about E-WASH planning at district and community levels in preparedness and response in emergencies.\nTo construct one latrine for Pak Klang Primary School with 123 students and 6 teachers.\n\n  \nThe training was conducted in two days in Champasak Provincial Red Cross Branch\, Muang Pakse\, Champasak Province. There were 17 WASH focal persons from 7 districts under the Champasak branch\, and 1 WASH focal person of the Ministry of Health were invited to participate in this RCV E-WASH training (Male 6\, Female 11). \nLao RC has been receiving funding support from the Japanese Red Cross Society (JRCS) in strengthening emergency WASH capacity since 2016\, focusing mainly on Khammuane province including the procurement and prepositioning of two water purification units (one at that province and one at the national headquarters in Vientiane). \nIn 2017\, JRCS continues to support LRC in the same capacity\, where LRC has expanded its geographical scope to also include Oudomxay and Champasak Provinces. These targeted provinces are known to be affected by floods on a yearly basis due to its close vicinity to the Mekong river and various tributaries that run along these provinces. \nBoth training days started with theoretical sessions and table-top exercises\, and the second half of both days were mainly focused on practical sessions i.e. installation of the water purification unit Aquaplus AP 700 CL (first day) and construction of a pour-flush toilet (second day). \n \nA variety of training methods were utilised such as use of IEC materials\, PowerPoint presentations\, videos\, group exercises and demonstrations. Pre- and post-tests\, as well as evaluations were carried out. (Picture caption: The Red Cross Volunteers checking the turbidity and PH of water after water treatment during the training). \nThe five key topics of Emergency WASH are: water treatment demonstration by using AP700 CL Man-Packs\, hygiene promotion\, group work discussion\, “Chlorine Water Treatment\, Filtration\, Chemical Water treatment”\, temporary / permanent latrine construction\, health education practices using community tool focusing on three diseases and 7 steps of hand washing were highlighted and demonstrated to participants. \nThe results of True & False pre- test and post- test with 13 questions shown that the participants’ knowledge and skills were significantly increased from 78% to 97% respectively. \nDr Sing Menorath\, the Vice President of Lao Red Cross\, mentioned that the continuous support for implementing WASH program from IFRC to Laos is really needed because current WASH implementation only reached four provinces. The AP700 CL Man-Packs is very useful in helping the vulnerable people in disaster effected areas. \nSuodsakhon Sripandhon\, one of the participants\, stated that both the practical and theory sessions were very important for all of participants. “These training sessions were totally new for us\, water treatment\, turbidity measurement\, filtration process and health hygiene promotion are very interesting for the trainees\, and are very helpful for their communication with villagers and communities.” \n  \nSupporting documents: \n\nAgenda [English] [Lao]\nPowerpoint presentation: 7 steps of proper handwashing [Lao]\nTraining summary report\n\n  \nFor more information please contact: Dr Bounma Xayasouk\, Head of Health Promotion Department\, Lao Red Cross Headquarter: bounma_xayasouk@hotmail.com and Dr Pornsak Khortwong\, IFRC Bangkok: pornsak.khortwong@ifrc.org

SUMMARY:Disaster Law Community Dissemination Training of Trainers | 13-14 Oct 2017 | Vinh\, Vietnam
DESCRIPTION:Vietnam: making disaster law accessible and fun for community-level dissemination \nDespite flooding across several provinces\, and a soaked International Disaster Risk Reduction Day ceremony\, Vietnam Red Cross\, the Women’s Union and IFRC gathered in Vinh\, Nghe An province to participate in the ‘Know Your Rights\, Roles and Responsibilities in Disaster Management’ (Know Your 3Rs) 13-14 October 2017.  This was the first   Training of Trainers (ToT) on Disaster Law Community Dissemination to be held in Vietnam. \nThe training included sessions on   disaster law and Vietnam Red Cross law\, it also drew attention to   key  community messages drawn from Vietnam’s Natural Disaster Prevention and Control Law\, which had been developed through a process that included a national and provincial roundtables held in September 2017. \nParticipants joined in role-playing exercises and games\, including a walk-through scenario developed for the Vietnam context and a jeopardy-style quiz. Lively discussions\, laughter and acting talents broke out in the room. The various activities are will be modified as appropriate and integrated into existing Red Cross community-level programs. \n \nOn day two of the training\, the roles were reversed. Participants were invited to design and implement sessions plans on how they would run community programming for rights\, roles and responsibilities in disaster management. Facilitators and other participants took on the roles of community members. \nAt the conclusion of the training\, all participants were asked to develop a Plan of Action to incorporate these key messages and activities in existing programmes. Recognising that this training was the first of its kind in Vietnam\, the facilitators welcomed feedback on the modules\, which will inform the revision and preparation for the three remaining ToT’s  to be rolled out by the end of this year. All participants were in strong agreement that increasing community level awareness of 3Rs is crucial to increase resilience to disasters\, and must be accompanied with practical information on how community members can exercise their rights and fulfill their responsibilities in disaster management. \nTo read more about disaster law\, click here.

SUMMARY:Technical working group on internal housing\, land and property (HLP) strategy draft | 11 October 2017 | the Philippines
DESCRIPTION:Housing Land and Property Rights in Disasters: Red Cross Strategy Development in Philippines  \nSustainable and meaningful shelter assistance in the humanitarian context is not only about providing a roof over one’s head. It is also about making sure that the assistance places displaced people in a much-improved housing situation than they were originally in or\, at the very least\, in a position that is not worse off than before they were hit by a disaster.  Beyond ensuring safe structural shelter design\, a humanitarian organization aiming to achieve this goal will have to consider and be responsive to the basic housing\, land and property rights of disaster affected persons. \nOn 11 October 2017\, the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) held a technical working group meeting to seek feedback on its draft internal  housing\, land and property (HLP) strategy.  This strategy seeks to guide PRC in its humanitarian shelter and settlement assistance. The contents of the draft strategy are based on  inputs received from  shelter practitioners’ last year\, which identified   the need for greater preparedness and advocacy to ensure that disaster affected populations will  enjoy similar or increased land tenure security after a disaster\, fulfilling their human right to adequate housing. \n  \nHLP Partners \nThe Philippine Red Cross invited its partners\, American Red Cross (AmCross) and Initiatives for Dialogue and Empowerment through Alternative Legal Services\, Inc. (IDEALS)\, and listened to their sharing of good practices and lessons learned in the implementation of a legal assistance project for its shelter beneficiaries in Tacloban.  This is part of PRC’s Typhoon Haiyan humanitarian assistance initiative in partnership with AmCross. Other partners in the  consultation included the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies\, the International Committee of the Red Cross and the Netherlands Red Cross. \n  \nOverview of the PRC HLP Strategy \nThe draft housing land and property  strategy for PRC proposes the following: (1) improving internal PRC processes that will ensure its shelter and settlements programming satisfies the beneficiaries’ right to adequate housing\, and is aligned with the Movement’s shelter and settlement aims—i.e. rapid tenure assessment (based on these Guidelines)\, due diligence\, stakeholder mapping\, HLP legal referral pathways\, and more flexible shelter beneficiary and assistance options; and (2) advocacy for the improvement of external shelter and settlement public policies and ensuring better implementation of these.  Once finalized and approved after a feedback process\, the internal HLP strategy should be operational at the preparedness\, response\, and recovery stages of shelter programming.  It mostly applies to a natural disaster setting but the working  group will look into how this can be integrated in a conflict context. \n  \nLessons Learned from the Legal Assistance Project \nThe HLP situation in the Philippines\, like in many other countries\, is complex.  This impacts on PRC’s shelter assistance programming. IDEALS presented an informative “national housing snapshot”\, and an overview of the land administration and management in the country. These focused on overlapping mandates and conflicting laws\, as well as protracted procedural requirements\, including the impact  of   the No Build Zone Policy implemented during the Typhoon Haiyan recovery phase.  Given this background\, it was inherently difficult to implement the legal assistance for Tacloban shelter beneficiaries. However\, after interviewing 1\,195 shelter beneficiaries and 261 landowners\, the team was able to secure 432 land tenure documents (e.g. lease documents\, usufruct agreements\, agricultural leasehold contract)\, which was above the targeted number. \nThe IDEALS team shared that HLP legal assistance\, particularly due diligence and land security interventions\, would be best done prior to any humanitarian shelter intervention.  They also stressed the importance of engaging with  landowners in this type of legal assistance project early on\,  given that their cooperation will make or break the success of procuring land tenure documents for shelter beneficiaries. \nIn addition\, IDEALS shared its ongoing legal assistance support for the displaced in Marawi City.  The armed conflict which had just formally ended has resulted in a high number of internally displaced  persons. As part of its humanitarian and development interventions in Marawi\,  PRC is expected to provide shelter assistance\, and the HLP strategy will be able to provide crucial guidance  in this. \nThe lessons learned from the legal assistance project in Tacloban will form part of the legal assistance / referral pathways component of the proposed PRC HLP strategy. The second draft of the strategy will be further reviewed by the Philippines Red Cross technical working group later in the year. \n  \nFor more information\, contact: Gabrielle Emery at gabrielle.emery@ifrc.org

SUMMARY:Vietnam Red Cross Post-OCAC Prioritization Workshop | 4-5 October 2017 | Hanoi\, Vietnam
DESCRIPTION:A strong National Society is the one that is able to deliver country-wide\, through a network of volunteer-based units\, a relevant service to vulnerable people sustained for as long as needed. To understand their own strengths\, weaknesses\, and potential within its own context\, the National Societies conduct Organizational Capacity Assessment and Certification (OCAC). \nOrganizational Capacity Assessment and Certification (OCAC) enables National Societies to assess their own capacity and performance so as to determine the best approaches for their self- development\, and also to acknowledge those National Societies that have reached a high level of proficiency. Every capacity deficit that is discovered represents an opportunity for further development and growth. \nVietnam Red Cross (VNRC) has carried the Organizational Capacity Assessment and Certification (OCAC) in 2014. \nDuring the VNRC OCAC process\, four key priority recommendations were identified:\n1. Strengthening organisational planning and monitoring systems\n2. Sustainability strategy\n3. Community level presence and participation\n4. Local chapter and branch government enhancement \nThrough this second process\, VNRC will identify tailor-made organizational development and capacity enhancement approaches and develop their national society development road map 2018-2020 which can contribute the VNRC Strategy 2020 and their future strategies. \n  \nObjective and expected outcome of the Workshop\n1. To identify the key indicators on the above recommended actions and review their progress and key challenges\n2. To develop the road map for the National Society Development 2018-2020 and introduce the BOCA and Resource Mobilization System (RMS).\n3. To develop the monitoring and evaluation\, and reporting mechanism and its sustainability for the National Society effective work and OCAC follow up. \n  \nSupporting documents:  \n\nConcept note\nAgenda\nReport: Post OCAC prioritisation workshop Report 2017 (includes annex 1: Agenda)\nAnnex 2 of the Report: Key indicators\nAnnex 3 of the Report: National Society Development roadmap 2018-2020\nAnnex 4 of the Report: Action plan of 2018\nReference 1: Recommendations from OCAC 2014\nReference 2: OCAC Findings Report 2014

SUMMARY:Philippines Disaster Law Training for Philippine Red Cross Chapters | 20-22 September 2017 | Philippines
DESCRIPTION:The Philippine Red Cross\, in partnership with the IFRC\, recently concluded a training of Chapter facilitators on disaster law in the Philippines. This was made possible through the Regional Resilience Initiative (RRI) funded by Global Affairs Canada through Canadian Red Cross. \nPhilippine Red Cross Chapter Administrators and technical staff coming from 20 Chapters across Luzon\, Visayas and Mindanao were provided an orientation on disaster law basics and facilitation tools and skills to carry out the orientation. \nTraining participants were selected based on their knowledge of basic disaster risk management (DRM) concepts and principles\, relevant experience in community-level work\, and regular interaction with local government stakeholders and DRM institutions such as Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Councils (LDRRMC). The trainees are expected to be the first pool of local Chapter officers who will have the skills to facilitate local level disaster law trainings to communities in the future\, so they are better equipped to exercise their rights\, roles and responsibilities prior and during disasters. \nKeeping communities at the center \nThe training not only touched on the basics of advocacy and humanitarian diplomacy\, but also cross-cutting disaster law themes\, and other successful advocacy strategies implemented at the local level.  During the training\, information was shared by resource persons from IFRC as well as key departments of Philippines Red Cross\, including Health Services\, Welfare Services\, and Disaster Management Services. The Office of Civil Defense\, Department of Interior and Local Government\, CARE Philippines (Partners for Resilience)\, and Ateneo de Manila University Development Studies Programme also shared insights with participants. \nThis approach forms part of a new approach to ensure disaster law is more accessible\, known and understood at community level.  It focuses on 3Rs — rights\, roles and responsibilities — in disaster risk management law. With their wide network of staff and community volunteers\, Red Cross Chapters have the opportunity to carry out this work at the community level and\, vice versa\, to bring community voices in the decision-making table. \nThe first day focused on basic domestic legal and policy documents covering the four pillars of DRM — disaster prevention and mitigation\, preparedness\, response and recovery. It also included a discussion of cross-cutting themes in disaster law\, such as the Dignity\, Access\, Participation and Safety (DAPS) Framework\, gender and diversity\, disability inclusion\, special laws on the protection of women and children and disasters\, and integrated risk management.  From these concept-based lectures\, the training progressed towards local level DRM planning guidelines and basic advocacy skills\, tools that will enable training participants to apply their knowledge in disaster law in influencing community-level DRM programmes and advocacies. \nOne of the highlights of the training was the interactive simulation of the “3Rs Lego Game”\, where participants used Lego picture cards to identify the respective rights\, roles and responsibilities of stakeholders in a disaster response setting like Typhoon Haiyan. Another highlight was the “advocacy elevator pitch” exercise\, an interactive session that allowed participants to role play as advocates and practice their skills at quick but effective advocacy messaging. \nThe dissemination of rights\, roles and responsibilities under disaster law frameworks serves as an important highlight of Philippines Red Cross role as a leading actor of community-based driven advocacy and action nationally and in Southeast Asia. \nThe local level disaster law course is scheduled to be rolled out by the trained facilitators with assistance from PRC NHQ this October in their respective chapters. The recently published IEC (Information\, Education\, and Communication) brochure on Disaster Law Key Messages for Inclusive Community Participation\, will also be used and distributed during the training. \nSee Report of the training\, annex 1\, annex 2 and annex 3.

SUMMARY:Gender and Diversity Mainstreaming in Vulnerability and Community-based Capacity Assessment (VCA) Guidance of the Vietnam Red Cross
DESCRIPTION:The Vietnam Red Cross (VNRC) held the workshop “Gender and Diversity Mainstreaming in Vulnerability and Community-based Capacity Assessment (VCA) Guidance of the Vietnam Red Cross” on 19 September 2017\, with the technical and financial support from the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC)\, the French Red Cross (FRC)\, the American Red Cross and the French Development Agency (AFD). This activity was a part of the “Gender-sensitive community-based disaster risk management project in ethnic minority areas of North-West Vietnam” implemented in Son La and Lai Chau between April 2014 and September 2017. \nThe VCA guidelines list and describe the different steps that are to be followed to assess a community’s vulnerability and capacity towards disasters\, in order to engage the community and related organizations into disaster prevention and preparedness activities. This document was developed and applied by the VNRC in 1997 and updated in 2016. In 2014\, the government of Vietnam adapted the VCA methodology to develop the Community-Based Disaster Risk Assessment methodology (CBDRA) and issued Decree 1002 on awareness raising and community-based disaster risk management (CBDRM). \nWhile these VCA guidelines have been highly appreciated and widely used it has clearly lacked consideration for Gender and Diversity (G&D). It is well-established that women\, men\, boys\, girls\, people with disability and people belonging to diverse ethnic\, social\, cultural\, economic and religious groups may have different level of vulnerability and capacity towards disasters. A Gender-and-Diversity-sensitive and inclusive VCA will help us understand and address the specific needs\, capacities and priorities of each group in a comprehensive way and ensure that no one is neglected. Gender and Diversity play a vital role in achieving VCA’s goals\, improving disaster response capacities of all specific groups and all the community. \n“When I conducted assessments in remote areas\, I realized that women’s roles had been overlooked. The integration of Gender and Diversity in VCA will help us recognize women’s roles and understand the diversity of our target groups. We will know how women\, men and people from diverse groups are affected differently by a disaster. Then we will have more suitable solutions and we won’t miss anyone.” – Mrs. Nguyen Phuong Mai\, Son La Red Cross\, VCA facilitator. \nThe workshop was attended by many Gender and Diversity\, and DRR experts \nContributing to the workshop were VCA facilitators\, and Gender and Diversity and Disaster Risk Reduction experts from government and non-government organizations such as the Red Cross Branches of Lao Cai\, Son La\, Lai Chau\, Thanh Hoa\, Quang Tri; General Department of Disaster Management; Vietnam Women’s Union\, Vietnam Red Cross\, French Red Cross\, American Red Cross\, and International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC). \nBased on the IFRC “Gender-and-diversity-sensitive Vulnerability Capacity Assessment Guidance Note” and “Minimum Standard Commitments to Gender and Diversity”\, the workshop collected ideas to integrate Gender and Diversity into VNRC’s VCA process. \n“These tools introduced by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies are very interesting. However\, it should be adapted to suit Vietnamese context and culture and support VCA facilitators – those who will use it – in collecting data. Moreover\, it should make local people feel comfortable to demonstrate their skills and knowledge and encourage their participation in the assessment.” – Mr. Do Quoc Anh\, Officer\, Vietnam Women’s Union. \nMr. Tran Si Pha\, Deputy Director\, Disaster Management Department\, Vietnam Red Cross (VNRC) considered the experience of local VCA facilitators as a vital factor in maximizing the guidance’s effectiveness and achieving its’ goals for community. \n“This guidance is an important tool\, but it also depends on the facilitator’s skills and those skills do not simply come from training. Those skills are your own.” – Mr. Tran Si Pha\, Deputy Direct\, Disaster Management Department\, Vietnam Red Cross. \nMr. Pha also stated after this workshop that the VNRC will finalize the guidelines based on the ideas presented and discussed at the workshop\, and will organize (tentatively in November 2017) a training of the VCA facilitators based on the updated (G&D-inclusive) VCA guidelines. \n  \nWritten by Hoang Huyen\, Communications Officer\, the French Red Cross in Vietnam

SUMMARY:Demystifying the Global Agenda Frameworks into Practice | 29-30 August 2017 | Bangkok\, Thailand
DESCRIPTION:Demystifying the Global Agenda Frameworks into Practice \nSignificant progress has been made in disaster risk reduction\, climate change adaptation\, humanitarian response\, and in development under the global frameworks that guide them. However\, due to their respective mandates\, government agencies have been working in silos towards reducing disaster and climate risks. The evolution of the global frameworks and creation of new ones calls for a universal and more comprehensive approach\, which focuses on sustainability and resiliency. These global frameworks are considered as tools to support government agencies and relevant stakeholders on their progress towards sustainability and resiliency. \nAsian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC)\, GIZ\, UNESCAP\, UNDP and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) altogether in a partnership (partners)\, see this as an opportunity to develop a deeper knowledge on the key linkages within the global frameworks to ensure that the operationalization of these frameworks at the country- and local-level serves as a vehicle to bring about positive changes towards investment decisions and strengthened risk governance. \nThe partners aim to organize the event together with other partners\, and bring all relevant stakeholders including governments\, UN agencies\, RCRC National Societies\, Civil Society Organizations and the private sector to help guide an integrated and inclusive approach to building national and local resiliency capacities as an effective approach towards the implementation of global goals. \nThe 2-day forum aims to identify the challenges\, linkages\, and potential key entry points for integrating the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction\, the Sustainable Development Goals\, Paris Agreement on Climate Change Adaptation\, and the World Humanitarian Summit towards achieving a common goal of making communities resilient to disaster and climate risks in the Asia-Pacific region. \n  \nUseful links: \n\n\n\n\n\nOutcomes of the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction in Cancun\, Mexico\nThe High-level Political Forum\, United Nations central platform for follow-up and review of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals\, provides for the full and effective participation of all States Members of the United Nations and States members of specialized agencies.\nOutcomes of the AMCDRR 2016\nThe Global Agenda of Local and Regional Governments\nClimate and Disaster Resilience\, United Nations Development Programme overview of programmes\, initiatives and events.\n\n\n\n\n\nSupporting document (more documents will be uploaded in time): \n\n\n\n\n\nConcept note\nAgenda\nPractical information for participants\nParticipant List\nReport\n\n\n\n\n\nFor more information on the proceedings and presentations\, please go to this link.

SUMMARY:Final Evaluation Meeting of Capacity Development for Thai Red Cross Volunteers – Training of Trainers (TOT) for Elderly Self Care and for Elderly Care in 12 Provinces | Cha-Am\, Thailand | 23-24 August 2017
DESCRIPTION:Thai Red Cross prepares for the care and the support for elderly people in communities. \nThe number of elderly people is growing: Thailand is currently ranked the third most rapidly ageing population in the world.  In 2015\, over 10 percent of the Thai population\, or more than 7-8 million people\, were 65 years old or older. By 2040\, a projected 17 million Thais above 65 years of age will account for more than a quarter of the population. \n \nThai Red Cross has been piloting the two training modules: 1) Elderly Self Care implementing in 6 provinces and 2) Elderly Care by care givers implementing in 6 provinces. \nThere were 84 participants who received the training course on Health Ageing-Elderly Self Care and Elderly Care by Care givers by Thai Red Cross’ Training Center.  In each province\, 7 trainers conducted the two trainings for Red Cross Volunteers with 18 hours of training courses or 3-day training at provincial or district levels. \nIn January to July 2017\, 12 Provincial Red Cross Chapters have been piloting / providing the TOT training on Healthy Ageing for 84 trainers (7 trainers per province). A total of 2\,300 volunteers were registered into the TRC’s system\, and 280 elderly patients were supported or supervised by volunteers in the communities. \nThe implementation of Healthy Ageing Program in 14 provinces will be scaled up in 2018 by the support from Provincial Red Cross Chapters. Moreover\, volunteer recruitment in the Healthy Ageing Program will be registered into One Million Volunteers System. \nThe IFRC’s Healthy Ageing Training Toolkit will be applied to fit local contexts.  The Health Assessment Forms of IFRC Healthy Ageing toolkits will be integrated into TRC’s healthy ageing training toolkits. \nFor more information\, please contact Miss Darunee Poosanasuwansri; Senior Instructor\, Training Center for First Aid and Health Care\, Thai Red Cross\, email: d_poosana@yahoo.com;  Dr.Pornsak Khortwong\, IFRC Health Officer\, email: pornsak.khortwong@ifrc.org

SUMMARY:Cross-Border Contingency Planning: Enhancing Cooperation between Red Cross National Societies of Thailand and Lao PDR | 15-17 August 2017 | Nongkhai\, Thailand
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nNeighbours across the Mekong river\, both Lao PDR and Thailand frequently experience floods\, storms\, droughts\, heatwaves and other meteorological events that can have a devastating impact on the most vulnerable populations and their livelihoods. \nTo better respond to future disasters\, almost hundred participants from the Red Cross National Societies of Laos and Thailand as well as the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation and Department of Health from both sides of the river came together to discuss about common and potential risks\, scenarios and the development of contingency plans. \nDuring the workshop\, the participants discussed the ways to minimize the impact of disasters through coordinated scenarios as well as response and preparedness plans. \n“This workshop helps us to understand each other’s strengths and weaknesses as well as the opportunities to work together in the most sustainable way. Thai Red Cross would like to build on this and further replicate with other neighbouring countries in the future”\, said Mr. Sawanit Kongsiri\, Assistant to Secretary General of the Thai Red Cross Society. \n“This is also a golden opportunity for our branches to exchange their direct contacts and coordinate at branch level to effectively mobilise resources to respond to future challenges”\, added Mr. Thongphachanh Sonenasin\, Vice President of Lao Red Cross Society. \n \nBased on the existing information collected before and during the workshop\, three different disaster scenarios were developed. Supported by range of facilitators\, the participants then discussed contingency planning in regards of those scenarios\, aiming to prepare both National Societies at various levels to better respond by making decisions in advance about the management of human and financial resources\, coordination and communications procedures\, and being aware of a range of technical and logistical responses. \n“As the role of Red Cross is to support government during disaster\, it was a good practice to bring various stakeholders to discuss these plans. It is important to have good coordination mechanisms between Red Cross Chapter and government agencies”\, said Ms. Naowarat Akepapan\, Uttaradit Red Cross Chapter President\, Thai Red Cross Society. \nConcluding the workshop\, both Red Cross National Societies agreed to encourage and support cross-border cooperation at branch level through exchange visits and capacity building for effective disaster response and preparedness as well as health and care. It was also agreed that among several branches from both sides\, pilot initiatives will be started to build a model for future replication. \nA total of 74 respondents completed the final evaluation where it captured their feedback and comments. Figure 1 shows that most of participants had a positive feedback about the contingency plan workshop with overall satisfaction at 81.08% and contributed in improving their knowledge at 81.08%.  74.32% said that the technical and practical aspects planned well. In fact\, 80 % felt that the team of facilitators was qualified. For quality of working group\, management and logistics and hotel facilities\, the respondents were satisfied at 81.08%\, 78.38%\, and 81.76% respectively. \n  \nRelated documents: Agenda\, concept note and report

SUMMARY:Southeast Asia Gender and Diversity Network Meeting and Sexual and Gender-based Violence (SGBV) Training | 31 July - 4 August 2017 | Manila\, Philippines
DESCRIPTION:Sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) is a life-threatening\, global health and human rights issue. In December 2015\, the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement adopted the joint Resolution on Sexual and Gender Based Violence: Joint Action on Prevention and Response. The Resolution outlines specific responsibilities for States\, National Societies\, IFRC and the ICRC in prevention and response to SGBV. One of the key elements of the resolution is to strengthen the capacity of Red Cross and Red Crescent staff and volunteers to prevent\, mitigate and respond to SGBV in emergencies. Subsequently\, the IFRC has developed a global training module on SGBV that will be rolled-out in the Asia-Pacific region during 2017. Before the training in Southeast Asia\, this training has been pilot tested with the South Asia network in May 2017 and with the Pacific network in July 2017 and feedback incorporated to enhance the training modules. \n  \nThe objectives of the Southeast Asia Gender and Diversity Network meeting and Training are: \n\nTo provide professional development training for all network members\, (and for additional Southeast Asia National Society staff) on IFRC’s Sexual and Gender Based Violence in Emergencies training module to build staff capacities and to allow participants to facilitate training in their respective NS for management\, staff and volunteers.\nTo bring together members of the Southeast Asia Gender and Diversity network to share experiences\, update knowledge\, discuss issues/problems and identify solutions. A key outcome of this network meeting will be to prepare annual Gender and Diversity action plans for promoting and institutionalizing gender and diversity work in their respective National Societies as well as a sustainability plan for the network itself.\n\n  \nSupporting documents: Concept note | Agenda | Joint Action on SGBV Prevention | Meeting Report \n  \nPresentations and other resources: \n\nTraining Skills – Participant’s Handbook\nDay 1 presentations which include:\n\nSession 1 : Introduction\nSession 2: Key concepts on gender-based violence (GBV) and what the Red Cross Red Crescent can offer to support survivors of SGBV\nSession 3: Completing a situational analysis\n\n\nDay 2 presentations which include:\n\nSession 4: Review and discussion\nSession 5: GBV mitigation and response – with a focus on psychosocial support/health and the IFRC minimum standards\nSession 6: Basic monitoring of SGBV approaches\n\n\nDay 3 presentations which include:\n\nSession 7: Internal protection systems\nSession 8: Basic staff care\n\n\nDay 4 presentations which include:\n\nSession 9: Action planning\nSession 10: SGBV training\nSession 11: Evaluation and next steps\n\n\n\n  \nA story of this training is available from ifrc.org at this link.

SUMMARY:Migration Lessons Learnt Workshop for Mindanao Returnees operation | 19-20 July 2017 | Manila\, Philippines
DESCRIPTION:The Philippine Red Cross organized Migration Lessons Learnt Workshop for Mindanao Returnees operation from 19-20 July 2017 in Manila\, the Philippines with the support of IFRC. It was attended by 31 participants (15 females\, 16 males)\, consisting of Philippine Red Cross National Headquarters and chapter staff and volunteers\, Partner National Societies and the IFRC. \nBackground\nSince 15 February 2017\, there has been a rapid increase in the number of Filipino returnees from the state of Sabah in Malaysia arriving in Zamboanga City\, Mindanao. While repatriations were procedural and common prior to the increase\, the sinking of a vessel that previously transported the returnees prompted suspension of the exercise in September 2016. The suspension of repatriations led to a backlog of approximately 7\,000 undocumented Filipino migrants in Sabah. \nAs of 31 May\, a total of 2\,382 returnees have arrived since the exercise started on 15 February.  More returnees are expected to arrive in the city over the next weeks in line with an agreement reached by Philippine and Malaysian governments in November 2016 to clear the backlog. \nThe PRC has been complementing the efforts and assistance being provided by the public authorities. PRC is providing services to support returnees in terms of improving their health\, safety and welfare. The support by PRC is being provided on one-off basis in view of the scale of returnees’ needs following the backlog of repatriations. Under normal circumstance\, the National Society does not engage in providing welfare services to returnees in routine repatriations. \nSpecific Objectives:\n\nTo present the progress of the Returnee Operation in – Zamboanga City\, Basilan\, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi.\nTo share good practices or strategies undertaken by different chapters in resolving context specific challenges.\nTo understand migration in Asia and the Pacific and changing face of migration in the Philippines.\nTo acknowledge achievements and discuss key challenges faced during response coordination in the affected areas (Zamboanga etc.)\nTo generate recommendations to improve current systems and response mechanisms depending on the context.\nTo learn from other similar operations (e.g. from Myanmar)\, strengthen existing partnerships and develop new partnerships.\nTo have better preparedness in relation to address specific needs of migrants in relation to Health\, Gender\, Protection etc.\n\nExpected Outcome/Results/Deliveries:\n\nWorkshop proceedings/ documentation report\nDocumented case studies\nOverview of the operations – highlighting the key strengths and weaknesses\nIdentifying capacity development areas based on lesson learned\nAgree on priority recommendations from the lesson learned\nImportance of Operational and Coordination Support\nCross-cutting Issues\n\n  \nThe agenda and proceedings are available in the report.

SUMMARY:Gender and Diversity Organizational Assessment Workshop | 17-18 July 2017 | Manila\, Philippines
DESCRIPTION:Gender and Diversity Organizational Assessment Workshop conducted by Philippine Red Cross \nFollowing its mandate of reaching and providing humanitarian service to the most vulnerable\, the Philippine Red Cross (PRC)\, with the support of the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) and the Australian Red Cross\, held a Gender and Diversity (GAD) Organizational Assessment Workshop on 17-18 July 2017 at the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) Multipurpose Hall. The two-day activity seeks to come-up with valuable strategies to integrate GAD in the operations and services of the PRC. \nGender and Diversity \nGAD is one of the cross cutting thematic issues that the IFRC has identified to affect the implementation of a project especially in a humanitarian organization such as the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. The IFRC developed a GAD Strategic Framework to ensure that Red Cross programs are not gender biased i.e. having equal allocation of resources\, opportunities and services to everyone\, as well as\, encouraging equity in decision making across diverse groups. \nGAD Mainstreaming in the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) \nCurrently\, Ms. Norwina Eclarinal—Officer in Charge Manager of International Relations and Strategic Partnerships Office (IRSPO)—is the lead advocate and the designated GAD focal person in various PRC projects. Since last year\, Eclarinal spearheaded activities toward GAD integration such as facilitating awareness session on GAD\, involving and consulting PRC staff in GAD mainstreaming initiative\, and just recently conducted an assessment on the perception of the PRC staff and volunteers to determine the presence and extent of GAD in the organization. \nThe said assessment was conducted to selected PRC Chapters implementing various programs and was assisted by IFRC Asia Pacific Regional Office. \nGender and Diversity Organizational Assessment Workshop conducted by Philippine Red Cross \nSome of the highlights of the recommendations made by the committee were involving the PRC Board of Governors in this initiative\, strengthening awareness campaigns about GAD\, working with the human resource department in implementing GAD sensitive policies for the staff\, and linking with Community Engagement and Accountability to establish multiple avenues of feedback from our beneficiaries. \nThrough the current efforts for GAD\, the technical working group envisions PRC as an organization which respects and response to the GAD needs of the staff\, volunteers and beneficiaries. \nFor more information\, please contact Maryjoy.evalarosa@ifrc.org

SUMMARY:Audio-visual storytelling workshop | 10-13 July 2017 | Metro Manila\, the Philippines
DESCRIPTION:Between 10 and 13 July in Metro Manila\, staff and volunteers from different departments and chapters of the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) joined a participatory video workshop facilitated by IFRC’s audio-visual experts. This workshop aimed at enhancing the audio-visual storytelling skills and capacities of the participants\, allowing them to better advocate on behalf of the communities the Red Cross supports. \n \nOver the course of four intensive days\, participants familiarised themselves with theories and practices of audio-visual storytelling and participatory video techniques as useful tools in addressing key vulnerability issues. Through several hands-on assignments and group work\, participants explored different ways of telling powerful stories\, showcasing the impact of the Red Cross support and making community voices heard by the decision makers. During a field visit to one of the vulnerable communities the PRC supports\, participants engaged and made videos with the community members\, bringing people together and enabling them to “show and tell” their own situation\, challenges and achievements. \n \nFollowing the workshop\, participants will be able to create films to showcase community voices\, share this knowledge with their peers and inspire others on humanitarian work. \nFor more information\, contact Mirva Helenius of IFRC at mirva.helenius@ifrc.org

SUMMARY:Fifth Youth Camp organized by Cruz Vermelha de Timor-Leste | 30 June - 2 July 2017 | Baucau\, Timor-Leste
DESCRIPTION:Cruz Vermelha de Timor-Leste (CVTL or Timor-Leste Red Cross) held the fifth Youth Camp event to ignite the spirit of volunteerism among young volunteers from 30 June to 2 July in Baucau\, Timor-Leste. Around 44 young volunteers (aged 12 to 25 years old) participated in this gathering to share experiences\, learn new skills and build future youth programming. \nThe involvement of young volunteers at Timor-Leste Red Cross is crucial to ensure that the services run at the community level. To date\, youth programme covers health promotion\, HIV/ AIDS campaign and first aid respectively. The volunteers play a pivotal role in educating their peers to practise healthy lifestyle as well as in disseminating disaster risk reduction issues in areas prone to natural disaster. \nDuring the Youth Camp gathering\, the volunteers evaluated their programmes and developed new interventions to help more people in need. One new agenda identified is to reach out to vulnerable groups including elderly\, children and disabled people in their respective communities. Timor-Leste Red Cross hopes that by targeting vulnerable groups it will strengthen the community based programmes across the country.
