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.

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)

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

SUMMARY:Strengthening Law and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) in Indonesia - Consultation Workshop | 29 February 2016 | Indonesia
DESCRIPTION:On 29th February\, 2016\, Indonesia’s National Disaster Management Authority (BNPB) hosted a workshop together with PMI and the IFRC on ‘strengthening law and disaster risk reduction in Indonesia’.  The workshop brought together participants from different ministries\, UN agencies\, civil society and the private sector to discuss how well disaster risk reduction is addressed in the legal framework in Indonesia.\n\nThis was an opportunity to share and verify the initial findings of an ongoing research study\, commissioned by PMI and IFRC\, and to use the ‘Checklist on Law and DRR’ to assess the relevant laws and regulations in Indonesia.  Priority areas for further action were identified\, including improved overall implementation\, better inclusion of gender and diversity concerns\, as well as stronger accountability measures. The feedback from this discussion will be integrated into the final research report\, which will also include a proposed plan of action for strengthening the content and implementation of the legal framework  for DRR in Indonesia.\n\nThe discussions at the workshop were well-timed\, with BNPB also in the process of developing its baseline report and identifying next steps for the implementation of the Sendai Framework for DRR\, which calls upon states and key partners to ensure the right laws and policies are in place\, especially when it comes to safety-enhancing measures for DRR and community participation.\n\n \nSee: Workshop Report and the resulting checklist assessment report “Strengthening Law and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) in Indonesia” published in November 2016. \n\nNews: “On the path to resilience: Indonesia harnesses its laws to promote disaster risk reduction“\, published 30 March 2016 at ifrc.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

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Asia Pacific Regional Conference on Gender and Disaster Risk Reduction | 16-18 May 2016 | Hanoi\, Viet Nam
DESCRIPTION:Asia Pacific Regional Conference on Gender and Disaster Risk Reduction on the occasion of 1 year of implementation of the Sendai Framework for Action (2015-2030) will be held in Hanoi\, Viet Nam\, on 16 to 18 May 2016. \n\nBackground  \nThe Sendai Framework for Action (2015-2030) was adopted at the Third World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) in Japan in March 2015. Under its seven global targets\, the Sendai Framework outlines four Priorities for Action: (i) understanding disaster risk; (ii) strengthening disaster risk governance to manage disaster risk; (iii) investing in disaster risk reduction for resilience; and (iv) enhancing disaster preparedness for effective response\, recovery\, rehabilitation and reconstruction. The Sendai Framework further states in its Guiding Principles: “A gender\, age\, disability and cultural perspective should be integrated in all policies and practices\, and women and youth leadership should be promoted”. \nThis proposed regional conference organised by UN Women in Viet Nam in partnership with the Government of Japan and the Government of Viet Nam will provide a forum to discuss gender-related issues and targets for the four priorities of the Sendai Framework with the aim of assisting Governments in integrating gender when setting local targets. This conference will be targeted towards government\, policy makers\, researchers and practitioners from the Asia and the Pacific region. \n  \nObjectives and Outputs – Overall the forum aims to identify practical measures for substantive integration of gender equality and women’s empowerment in disaster risk reduction taking into the differential impacts and abilities of different gender groups. \nObjectives: \n\nIdentify key measures for effective implementation of the gender responsive Sendai Framework for DRR\nShare knowledge\, experience and best practices from national governments\, organizations and researchers from their work in Japan\, Nepal\, Vietnam\, Vanuatu\, and other countries in the region\nCreate a network where the voices of men and women from the field can be shared with policy makers and decision makers at the national level\, i.e.\, a community of practice\n\nOutputs of the conference: \n\nRecommendation document on ‘Gender and Disaster Risk Reduction’\nPublication of key papers presented at the conference\n\n  \nExpected Participants: \nThe total number of participants expected to attend the regional conference will be 200\, including at least 50 international participants (government officials\, experts\, key speakers and UN). \nOutcome Document: \n\nHanoi Recommendations for Action on Gender and DRR\n\n  \nThe following is the list of publications circulated by IFRC: \n…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. \nCommunity safety and resilience \n      \nFramework Community Resilience   |   Resilience Infographic 1   |   Resilience Infographic 2   |    Resilience Infographic 3   |   Resilience Infographic 4\n\nIFRC Framework for Community Resilience (2014)\n\nA series of Resilience Infographics:\n\n\nResilience Infographic 1: What is a community?\nResilience Infographic 2: What contributes to Resilience\nResilience infographic 3: Resilience at multiple levels\nResilience Infographic 4: A resilient community\n\n  \n\n\nInfographic: Social capital 1     |   Infographic: Social capital 2     |   Infographic: Social capital 3      |   Infographic: social capital 4\n\n\n\n \nInfographics of Social Capital and Community Resilience:\n\n\nSeries 1 – What is social capital?\nSeries 2 – High and low social capital\nSeries 3 – Why social capital is important to Red Cross and Red Crescent \nSeries 4 – How National Societies can help nurture social capital\n\n\nFor more information and publications\, please visit Community Safety and Resilience.\n\n\n\n\n\n…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. \n \n\n\nClimate change\n \nA Guide to Mainstreaming Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation\n \nFor more information and publications\, please visit Climate Change.\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….\n  \n \nSchool based risk reduction\n\n\n[NEW] Handbook for a School-based Risk Reduction Initiative (IFRC\, 2015)\n\n\n \n………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….\n \nDisaster Law\n\n\nHandbook on Law and DRR   |   Multi-country report    |     Multi-country summary    |    DRR Law Checklist\n\n\n\nThe Handbook on Law and Disaster Risk Reduction\nEffective law and regulation for disaster risk reduction: a multi-country report\nEffective law and regulation for disaster risk reduction: a multi-country report (Summary)\nThe checklist on law and disaster risk reduction\n\nFor more information and publications\, please visit Disaster Law.\n \n………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….\n \nGender and Diversity\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nGender and diversity in disaster risk reduction (2016)\nIFRC Strategic Framework on Gender and Diversity Issues 2013-2020 [English] [Vietnamese]\nMinimum standard commitments to gender and diversity in emergency programming – pilot version (2015)\nGender and Diversity for Urban Resilience: An Analysis\nUnseen\, Unheard: Gender-based violence in disasters – global study (2015)\n\n\nFor more information and publications\, please visit Gender and Diversity.\n  \nRelated videos:\n\n\n\n\nGender and diversity approaches to VCA\n\n\n\n \nGender and diversity approaches to VCA\n\nby Viet Nam Red Cross \n\n\nHaos I Foldaon\, Women I stanap\n\n\n\n \n‘Haos | Foldaon\, Women I stanap’\nby Vanuatu Red Cross\n\n \n\n\n\n\nCommunity Radio\n\n\n\nCommunity Radio \n\nby Bangladesh Red Crescent and IFRC\n \n\n………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….\n \n\nFemale migration Asia Pacific | Migration and resilience\n\nMigration\n \n\n\nFemale Migration in Asia Pacific\nMigration and Resilience in Asia Pacific Infographics\n\nFor more information and publications\, visit Migration\n\n…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. \n\n \nRegional Resilience Initiative\n\nThe Regional Resilience Initiative: Engaging with ASEAN (an overview)

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

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

SUMMARY:Regional Workshop on Public Awareness and Public Education (PAPE) | 18-20 October 2016 | Manila\, Philippines
DESCRIPTION:The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies\, in partnership with Finish\, German and Spanish Red Cross societies\, brings to the project extensive experience in school safety\, public awareness and public education and risk mapping\, with strength in regional sharing and learning\, and peer support. \nPublic awareness and public education for disaster reduction seek to turn available human knowledge into specific local action to reduce disaster risks. It mobilizes people through clear messages\, supported with detailed information. Hazard awareness alone does not lead directly to people adopting risk-reduction measures. The expected outcomes of the workshop: \n\nParticipants increase their knowledge in effective behaviour change communication processes\, based on the PAPE guide and key messages\nParticipants reflect on existing BCC practice in their countries and identity innovative ways to enhance their outreach in urban contexts\nParticipants are able to facilitate the design\, implementation and monitoring & evaluation of the PAPE in their respective countries (particular focus will be given to the KAP survey and national workshop)\nParticipants can confidently replicate the training with Red Cross National Society staff\n\nThe workshop went well with 30 participants from the National Societies of Viet Nam\, Cambodia\, Laos\, Myanmar and Philippines including the Red Cross Youth and Red Cross Volunteers in Quezon Chapter who implemented the project in the Philippines. The workshop was facilitated by team members from IFRC Bangkok CCST\, IFRC Viet Nam Country Office\, Spanish and Philippine Red Cross\, and Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Center. \nIn addition\, the Philippine RC General Secretary delivered the opening remarks with the Chairman of Quezon Chapter to all participants and hoped that the participants can enhance their knowledge and skills on the public awareness and public education especially in urban context and share their experiences to each other as peer-to-peer approach. \nSee the Agenda | Rationale and Participant list | Evaluation results | Workshop Report \n» Session 1: ‘Building Urban Resilience’ Project Overview (see the powerpoint presentation)\n» Session 2: Introduction to Behavior Change Communication (BCC) (see the powerpoint presentation)\n» Session 3: Linkage to PAPE (see the powerpoint presentation)\n» Session 4: Key Approaches in PAPE (see the powerpoint presentation)\n» Session 5: Key messages / How to develop effective and consistent messages (see the powerpoint presentation)\n» Session 6: Theories of behavior change (see the powerpoint presentation)\n» Session 7: Community Engagement Approach (see the powerpoint presentation on community participation and community engagement and accountability)\n» Session 8 : Innovative PAPE/BCC strategies: Orientation to positive deviance (Conceptual game and story) | Use of social media to reinforce PAPE campaigns | PAPE and climate-smart messages\n» Session 9: Monitoring and evaluation of PAPE campaign (see the powerpoint presentation)
