SUMMARY:Regional Resilience Workshop | Feb 2015 | Bangkok\, Thailand
DESCRIPTION:Given the outcomes of the 6th Asian Ministerial Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction (AMCDRR) in June 2014\, and moving forward to the 32nd International Conference of the Red Cross Red Crescent in 2015\, National Societies have an important role in bringing the concerns of communities to the attention decision makers and opinion leaders.As such\, advocating for the needs of vulnerable communities is one of IFRC’s priorities. \nIn Southeast Asia\, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies’ (IFRC) Regional Resilience Initiative seeks to reduce the impact of natural disasters on vulnerable communities by engaging in stronger advocacy and diplomacy at both a national and regional level. \n\n  \n\nRegional Resilience Workshop\, Bangkok\, 3-5 February 2015The IFRC South-East Asia regional delegation hosted a regional workshop focused on building skills in conducting advocacy and humanitarian diplomacy for disaster risk reduction from 3-5 February 2015.While diplomacy is often conducted by the leadership of National Societies\, senior technical staff – across the various areas of a National Society\, including disaster management\, disaster law\, disaster risk reduction\, health and communications – have a critical role that supports this goal. Therefore staff from across these areas were the primary target group for the workshop. \nSpecific objectives of the Workshop were to: \n\nIncrease understanding and capacity to conduct humanitarian diplomacy for disaster risk reduction and disaster law\, while building regional cooperation and understanding of engagement on advocacy partners such as ASEAN and ADPC\, as well as other partners working on disaster risk reduction.\nStrengthen cooperation and coordinated advocacy between National Societies and their respective National Disaster Management Authority counterparts.\nIdentify common advocacy messaging based on community concerns (VCA analysis results) and identify messaging for national and regional level advocacy in disaster risk reduction and disaster law (legislative advocacy). Further to this\, address how to integrate beneficiary communication into disaster management programming with a specific emphasis on using the voice and needs of beneficiaries for advocacy with examples from National Societies in the region.\nEstablish regional advocacy and humanitarian diplomacy objectives for 2015-2016 including a review on methods to increase engagement at the regional level with ASEAN and the national level with National Disaster Management Authority counterparts. This also includes identifying needs and an implementation strategy to conduct additional trainings on humanitarian diplomacy\, communication\, beneficiary communication or disaster law at the national level in 2015-2016\, as well as the 2015 International Conference\, Sendai\, etc.\n\nThe workshop was attended by representatives from Cambodia\, Indonesia\, Laos\, Myanmar\, Philippines\, Thailand\, Timor-Leste and Viet Nam Red Cross societies. A number of countries were also accompanied by a member of their government’s national disaster management office. \nThe whole process of the workshop has also been captured in Storify\, to view\, click here. \n\n  \n\nHere are some resources leading up to and from the workshop: \n1.

SUMMARY:Asia-Pacific Community Health Workshop | June 2015 | Bangkok\, Thailand
DESCRIPTION:Asia Pacific Community Health Workshop | 1-5 June 2015 | Bangkok \nCommunity-Based Health and First Aid (CBHFA) is an approach of the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) aimed at supporting communities so that individuals\, households and the community in general are empowered to take charge of their own health\, including reducing risks and strengthening resilience to health threats. \nNew modules and guidelines have been developed to reinforce the CBHFA toolkit and to further support NS in expanding the range of health issues that their community health programmes and initiatives can address and respond to. These include the Healthy Lifestyle (HL) Module as IFRC contribution to the prevention of non-communicable diseases (NCD) and the Violence Prevention (VP) Module. An Epidemic Control for Volunteers’ (ECV) toolkit was also produced to complement an existing CBHFA module. In addition\, a planning\, monitoring\, evaluation and reporting (PMER) toolkit was also developed to also support NS in strengthening the programming quality of its community health initiatives\, ensuring that these are evidence-based. \nThe IFRC has also committed to scaling up its contribution to community resilience strengthening\, which requires an all-inclusive and multi-sectoral approach\, and possibly change in mindsets. Many NS have already ventured into integrating CBHFA with other community-based programmes such as disaster risk reduction (DRR)\, water and sanitation\, shelter\, to name a few. These efforts include looking for ways of harmonising their tools\, currently focusing on community-based participatory assessment. \nAsia Pacific Community Health Workshop was conducted on 1-5 June 2015 in Bangkok\, Thailand\, as part of the knowledge sharing and capacity strengthening efforts of the IFRC Asia Pacific Health Team in community health. This workshop is supported by the Finnish Red Cross. \nThe workshop was organised to facilitate knowledge sharing of good practices and lessons learned on evidence-based community health programming – which will ultimately contribute to the enhancement of capacity of NS health managers and coordinators to design\, implement and manage these programmes. \nThe specific objectives of the workshop are to: \n\n\nLearn and discuss recent developments and future directions in CBHFA across the world\, and how these relate to recently-adopted IFRC framework for community resilience and related declarations\, as well as the post-2015 global development goals\, agenda and priorities.\nShare recent experiences\, lessons learnt\, local tools and materials produced through the implementation of programmes using CBHFA approach\, including efforts related to integrated programmes and harmonization of tools.\nRevise on the CBHFA PMER toolkit\, with focus on M&E using experiences of National Societies\nAgree on the way forward and next steps for 2015-2016\n\n\nClick for the brief agenda\, detailed agenda\, concept note and report. \nTo view the materials click below: \n\n\nPre-workshop reading materials: Epidemic Control for Volunteers | Non Communicable Disease | Reproductive\, maternal\, newborn and child health today | Violence Prevention | Framework for Community Resilience\nPresentations and resource materials: click here\nPosters and materials: click here

SUMMARY:Regional Disaster Law Forum Southeast Asia | June 2015 | Bangkok\, Thailand
DESCRIPTION:Over 60 representatives gathered in Bangkok at the ‘Regional Disaster Law Forum for Southeast Asia’ on 10-11 June 2015.  These included National Society leaders and technical staff\, NDMOs\, ministries of foreign affairs\, parliamentarians\, United Nations organizations\, NGOs and the ASEAN secretariat. \nThe Forum discussed disaster law developments at the national\, regional and international levels. This included a ‘stocktaking’ of national disaster law developments (including where states and national societies have worked together to develop or review disaster management laws and regulations); enhancing engagement with ASEAN and preparation for the post-2015 AADMER work programme; developing a regional disaster law advisory group; and discussion of key disaster law themes and pledges coming before the 32nd International Conference of the Red Cross Red Crescent in December 2015. \nThe objectives of the Forum focus on three levels: \n1. Disaster law at the national level \n\n\nDiscuss progress at the country level: strengths\, gaps\, support required.\nHighlight the role of the Red Cross Red Crescent National Societies as auxiliary to government in the humanitarian sector\, and as the ‘community voice’ in national law and policy making processes.\nShare experiences between South-East Asian nations\, and how National Societies and governments have worked/are working in partnership to strengthen disaster laws.\nIdentify what more can be done at the national level.\n\n\n2. Disaster law at the regional level \n\n\nHighlight National Societies’ and IFRC’s contribution to the implementation of AADMER through disaster law initiatives.\nDiscuss the notion of a rules-based ASEAN (post 2015)\, as envisioned by ASEAN leaders: what does tihs mean in the context of disaster law and disaster management?\nIdentify how the Red Cross Red Crescent can work better with ASEAN to promote and support the development/implementation of disaster laws (including at the operational\, policy and strategic levels) and discuss how this can be reflected in the new AADMER work programme.\nDiscuss the idea of establishing a regional disaster law ‘ advisory group’ for South East Asia. See the proposed draft concept note.\n\n\n3. Disaster law at the international level \n\n\nConsider the recent international commitments contained in the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (which include legislating for DRR and utilizing the IDRL Guidelines) and discuss how to implement this at the national level.\nDiscuss progress on implementing the South-East Asia Disaster Law pledge that was signed at the International Conference of the Red Cross Red Crescent in 2011.\nDevelop ideas for a new regional pledge (NS and government) at the upcoming 32nd International Conference of the Red Cross Red Crescent in December 2015.\nCompare national\, regional and international approaches: has enough progress been made? Is there a a need for stronger international mechanisms for disaster law (e.g. international binding agreement)?\nLooking forward to the World Humanitarian Summit\, discus links between disaster law\, legal frameworks and humanitarian effectiveness.\n\n\n  \n \nThe outcomes of the Forum demonstrated how Southeast Asia is a leader when it comes to developing national disaster laws\, and the important role National Societies have to play as the bridge between the community/local level and national level law and policy making processes. An article about the Forum and disaster law developments in southeast Asia was featured in the Bangkok Post on the opening day of this event (see the news link)\, and a formal report and recommendations were prepared (see the resources below). \nGroup Session: Participants from Thailand and Vietnam \n  \n  \nBelow are all the resources from the Forum: \n \n  \n  \nFinal Report of the Regional Disaster Law Forum | South-East Asia 2015 \n  \n  \n  \nClick to see the concept note\, agenda and participant List. \nCountry snapshots of disaster law development as of June 2015: Brunei\, Cambodia\, Indonesia\, Lao PDR\, Malaysia\, Myanmar\, Philippines\, Singapore\, Thailand\, Timor Leste\, Vietnam. \nRelevant documents in preparation of 32nd International RCRC Conference 2015: \n\n\nPresentation: overview of 32nd International Conference\nIntroduction to the elements of the Disaster Law Resolution\nPledge guidelines\nPledge Options of Disaster law at the 32nd International Conference\nReporting questionnaire for National Societies and Reporting questionnaire for States\nSouth-East Asia Disaster Laws pledge 2011\nDisaster Laws Resolution adopted in 2011 (31IC/11/R7)\n\n\nPower Point materials: \n\n\nIntroduction to disaster law\, developments in South-East Asia and moving forward to the 32nd International Conference of the Red Cross Red Crescent by Lucia Cipullo\, IFRC.\nDisaster Law at the regional level: Engaging with ASEAN by Miguel Musngi\, ASEAN Secretariat.\nCreating a regional disaster law advisory group by Lucia Cipullo\, IFRC.

SUMMARY:Disaster Law Workshop | July 2015 | Vientiane\, Lao PDR
DESCRIPTION:Disaster and Climate Change Law Workshop | Vientiane\, Lao PDR | 29 July 2015 \nSince October 2013\, IFRC\, LRC\, UNDP and the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment (MoNRE) have been working together as key partners in the development of a new disaster risk management and climate change law in Lao PDR. The development of the new law is a central component of the ‘Integrated Disaster and Climate Risk Management Project’ (ICDRM) currently being carried out in Lao PDR by UNDP and MoNRE\, with IFRC and LRC as key implementing partners. Over the past 12 months\, these four partners have achieved several milestones which have marked the progress of this work. \nBuilding upon these milestones\, the project partners held a “Disaster and Climate Change Law Workshop” in Vientiane\, to bring together key national and local stakeholders to discuss progress to date\, key thematic/technical components to consider when developing the new law\, and to solicit their feedback and inputs in this process. The workshop was also in line with international commitments made by the government of Lao PDR and the Lao Red Cross at the 31st International Conference of the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement in 2011\, where a resolution was adopted calling upon states to review their existing legislative frameworks at all levels (or develop new ones) to adequately establish key disaster risk reduction measures\, and to promote community level action. \nThe objectives of the workshop are: \n\nIncrease knowledge and understanding of disaster law concepts and issues\, and how to incorporate these in the new law (eg. IDRL\, DRR\, climate change)\nIntroduce key tools such as the IDRL Guidelines\, Model Act on International Assistance and DRR Checklist\nProvide technical support and discussion in the development of the new national disaster risk management and climate change law.\nSolicit input and feedback from key stakeholders involved in the development of the law\, in order to garner support and momentum for the development and passage of the law.\n\n \nFor more information\, see the concept note\, agenda\, participant list and published article about the workshop inVientiane Times. \nFor more resources\, visit Disaster Law page.

SUMMARY:Viet Nam Red Cross Conference to review Cow Bank project | 30 November 2015 | Viet Nam
DESCRIPTION:Cows are essential to millions of families in rural parts of Viet Nam. They are not only a source of food\, but they provide an important labour on farms\, driving income in many households.  Recognizing that cows are key to long-term poverty reduction\, over the past five years\, the Viet Nam Red Cross Society has provided nearly 20\,000 cows worth of USD 8.1 million in 61 cities and provinces\, including 62 poor districts and 452 bordering communes. Also known as the “cow bank project”\, the Red Cross hopes to empower local communities with the initiative. \nWith five-years of progress underway\, the Viet Nam Red Cross hosted a conference on 30 November 2015\, to reflect on its achievements to date.The event was attended by the State President and Honorary President of the Viet Nam Red Cross Society. As the ambassador for the cow bank project\, the State President’s attendance was an endorsement for its ongoing success. \n “The achievements of the cow bank project can be attributed to strong cooperation with relevant government agencies at both the headquarters and local levels\, the media\, telecommunication companies\, mass organizations and national banks\,” explains Tran Thi Hong An\, Vice President\, Viet Nam Red Cross Society. \n This collaboration has been key in allowing the Viet Nam Red Cross to drive rural development in Viet Nam. The cow bank project also educates rural communities about cow raising\, and disease prevention techniques. The calves from cows are given to other poor families\, multiplying the project impact. \n “The Red Cross wants to empower our local community members and contribute to poverty reduction\,” continues Tran Thai Hong An. “As we benchmark five years of success\, we will build on the project results to expand for another five years. It is our hope to help as many families as we can. This is the essence of our work in the Red Cross\,” he said. \nInfographic on Cow bank program achievement in VIETNAMESE language.
