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: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: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: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:Gender and Diversity Refresher Training National Level | 21-22 November 2017 | Cambodia
DESCRIPTION:The Cambodia Red Cross (CRC) conducted the gender and diversity refresher training during 21-22 November 2017. \nGuided by the 2011-2020 Strategy\, CRC has conducted various initiatives with a focus on (community-based) women’s and children’s health\, with an emphasis on giving support to mothers and newborns\, and assisting orphans with HIV/AIDS. In addition to the gender and diversity components of its health portfolio\, CRC has a long history of addressing gender and diversity concerns through its Vulnerable Group Assistance program\, which provides support to people with disabilities\, orphanages\, the elderly\, people living with HIV/AIDS\, and widows. The Vulnerable Group Assistance program is a mechanism for disaster preparedness. \nCRC currently has a Gender and Diversity Policy\, which was enacted in 2003 and is in the process of review and update. The review process is being conducted by a team consisting of: Head of Organizational Development\, Head of Human Resources and the Head of Communications. \nDuring a scoping mission in December 2014\, after discussing the needs of a strategic gender and diversity approach to guide all policies\, programs and tools with CRC senior management\, it was agreed that such an approach is needed by CRC. The Disaster Management department of CRC also agreed that a gender and diversity perspective and an approach to promote gender and diversity equality is needed within CRC. The following recommendations were made: CRC needs to advocate for gender concepts more broadly in society; a standard Gender and Diversity regulation and policy should be integrated across CRC; as auxiliary to the government CRC should encourage the endorsement and implementation of the Gender Policy – CRC should promote awareness of gender within government and help them to promote their policy more widely. \n \n \n \nObjectives \n\nTo promote gender and diversity Policy among Red Cross Staff\, volunteers\, and youth in CRC national head quarter (NHQ) and 25 Red Cross provincial branches.\nTo improve the knowledge and capacity of CRC NHQ/ branch staff in their work to reduce gender and diversity inequality.\nTo promote the gender and diversity work\, engage with other actors as well as establish linkages with other networks.\n\nSupporting documents: \n\nConcept note\nAgenda\nReport

SUMMARY:Gender and Diversity Technical Review Workshop | 21-22 Nov 2017 | Bangkok\, Thailand
DESCRIPTION:In April 2014 the IFRC launched the Regional Resilience Initiative (RRI). The Initiative supports eleven Red Cross and Red Crescent National Societies (NS) in Southeast Asia and has the goal of reducing the impact of natural disasters on vulnerable communities. \nSpecifically\, the Initiative sought to enhance skills and capacities within NS so they can advocate more strongly at national and regional levels for the needs of men\, women\, boys\, girls and diverse groups in disaster risk reduction. This approach was complemented by the strengthening of regional partnerships\, both within Red Cross Red Crescent networks and with key partners such as the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) Secretariat and other bodies. \nThe Country Cluster Support Team (CCST) in Bangkok is in the process of developing an evidence base to illustrate the RRI Gender and Diversity achievements of your National Society and as part of your participation in the regional gender and diversity (G&D) Network. The Gender and Diversity Technical Review Workshop to which you have been invited is a key part of that process. \nThe purpose of the workshop is to gather evidence and examples of how the RRI has supported the incorporation of gender and diversity equality/inclusivity into regional DRR policies and/or programmes through the support it has provided to NS and other relevant regional organisations. \nThe workshop has the following objectives: \n\nTo create a baseline and endline that illustrates RRI achievements and progress in relation to Immediate Outcome 1120 – ‘Increased integration of gender equality into national and regional DRR policies and programs’.\nTo provide G&D Focal Points with the opportunity to create their own personal stories of change related to gender and diversity.\n\nThe workshop method will combine storytelling techniques with a Theory of Change approach. \nFor more information\, see the following documents: \n\nConcept note \nAgenda\nParticipant list\nPractical information for participants\nPresentation on objectives\, methods and expected outputs of the workshop\nWorkshop process notes for participants\n\n

SUMMARY:CCST Thailand’s Final Evaluation of School Based Disaster Risk Reduction Program | 27 November – 2 December 2017 | Myanmar
DESCRIPTION:The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) Country Cluster Support Team in Thailand conducted a final evaluation on the School Based Disaster Risk Reduction (SBDRR) program in Myanmar during 27 November – 2 December 2017. \nMyanmar Red Cross Society (MRCS) started to implement the SBDRR program in 2012. MRCS received the funding from the Chinese Red Cross (Hong Kong Branch) through the IFRC to implement the SBDRR project in eight schools as a pilot project in three townships — Kyauktan\, Thakeda\, and Hlaing Tharyar — from 2015 to December 2017. The project objective is to integrate and apply the multi-spectral approach to school safety by addressing issues related to multi-hazards and their impacts through ensuring that both disaster management and health concerns are equally addressed while implementing the SBDRR initiatives to raise the resilience levels among school-going children\, teachers\, parents\, and communities\, in order for them to prepare for known threats\, act preventively\, and respond effectively in times of need. \nThe purpose of the evaluation is to draw lessons that will be useful for the improvement of the existing and future program implementation. Additionally\, the National Societies (NSs) in the region will benefit from the knowledge sharing\, and mainstreaming of similar components into their long-term initiatives. \nAs a result of the evaluation\, the project has fulfilled the requirement of all stakeholders and beneficiaries. The facility improvement activity has opened the door for good cooperation on other components. The training content is relevant to the local context and disaster encountered. The improvement on health promotion particularly the personal hygiene and first aid is clearly seen. The good cooperation among stakeholder is also observed. Moreover\, this project has strengthened better cooperation among schools and other organisation which could promote sustainability of the project and may lead to interventions in other schools. \nIn this connection\, the IFRC and Myanmar Red Cross Society convey our appreciation to the Chinese Red Cross (Hong Kong Branch) for giving a great opportunity through its funding to IFRC and MRCS in implementing this project. \nA first aid competition among schools.

SUMMARY:Philippine Red Cross steps up service to Filipino migrants through new info system
DESCRIPTION:The Philippine Red Cross (PRC) has leveled up its services to overseas-based Filipinos through a digital platform that streamlines necessary information before\, during\, and after their stay abroad. \nThe PRC\, in partnership with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC)\, recently unveiled the Virtual Volunteer (www.virtualvolunteer.org)\, a web platform that aims to link migrants to the organization’s services\, as well as to other institutions that can assist them with their concerns on 27 November 2017. \nThe Virtual Volunteer serves as the PRC’s response to the need to establish an accessible platform that the 12 million-strong Filipinos\, including overseas Filipino workers (OFWs)\, can access to avoid common difficulties\, such as abuse and human trafficking. \n“What we want is an immediate relief for people who are in emergency situations and right information can help them avoid falling in situations of abuse\, exploitation\, or trafficking\,” PRC Secretary General Atty. Oscar Palabyab said. “Virtual Volunteer serves as light way to assist individuals before going to a new country and access information once at destination.” \nThe IBM-powered platform geo-locates users to generate tailored vital information such as existing legislations in their host countries\, pre-departure documents and requirements\, and contact information of embassies and bodies that provide medical services and legal assistance. \nMoreover\, the website also makes it easier for migrants to access PRC’s services that tackle migration\, such as psychosocial support program\, home and school visits\, crisis intervention\, restoration of family links\, and ambulance services. \n“Information empowers people and we believe in the power of every person. This approach gives every individual more information and more power to make sound decision\, help them avoid difficulties\, and ensure that they know their rights wherever they are\,” said Christopher Staines\, head of IFRC Country Office said. \nAs the name suggests\, anyone connected to the internet can access the Virtual Volunteer via computer or mobile device through any browser. \n“Through this web-based platform\, migrants will no longer have to download an application to access the Virtual Volunteer\, especially in times of emergency\,” said Albert Marqueses\, Digital Service Line Lead of Philippine Innovation Center\, IBM Solutions Delivery. “Working with the IFRC aligns with IBM’s goal of being essential in shaping sustainable and humanitarian agenda.” \nThe PRC is the first Asian National Society to launch the platform\, which has already been beneficial to over 30\,000 people in Greece\, Sweden\, and Italy.

SUMMARY:Philippine Red Cross rolls out training on disaster law for Chapters | 27-29 November 2017 | Tacloban\, Philippines
DESCRIPTION:Two months after the successful roll-out of the first batch of training of facilitators on Disaster Law in the Philippines in September\, 21 Philippine Red Cross volunteers and officers from three local chapters received training on disaster law and advocacy to strengthen PRC’s internal capacity and use these skills for the benefit of the communities that they serve. \nThe local level Disaster Law Programme orientation and training is part of the Philippine Red Cross Disaster Law Programme’s thrust to capacitate local chapters and communities on disaster law\, and serves as an important highlight of PRC’s role as a leading actor of community-based driven advocacy and action in the region. \nThe strength of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement lies in its people. This is true for Philippine Red Cross\, whose strength lies in its vast network of volunteers and chapters around the country\, all gearing to bring community voices to the decision-making table. \nThe training was held from 27-29 November\, in Tacloban\, Leyte Province. The 21 participants\, volunteers and officers coming from Leyte\, Cebu and Ormoc Chapters\, were selected due to their experience in serving communities severely affected by Typhoon Haiyan and\, in the process\, relationships that they have built with local government and non-government stakeholders.  Some of the trainees were also newly recruited volunteers who have just started \nThe training used the module developed for the Training of Chapter Facilitators but with more focus on knowledge transfer rather than facilitation skills. Trainees were highly interested in understanding the legal mandate of PRC in the Philippine disaster risk management system\, local planning processes\, and basic advocacy skills that they can apply at the community level. \nThe training was supported by the Regional Resilience Initiative\, and is the first among a series of Disaster Law trainings that PRC will offer to its Chapters. Lessons learned from this pilot roll-out will feed into the continuous improvement of the disaster law training module in the Philippines. \nSee the activity report.

SUMMARY:Cambodian Red Cross Discusses Safe Migration With IFRC | 28 November – 1 December 2017 | Cambodia
DESCRIPTION:The CRC representatives met with Helen Brunt\, IFRC Senior Migration Officer\, from 28 November to 1 December 2017 to discuss on migration issues. The meeting was aimed to i) discuss AoF7: Migration with leadership\, staff\, and volunteers of CRC\, including scope for potential IFRC support and National Society peer-to-peer exchanges\, ii) meet with key local authorities in Preah Vihear Province and support CRC in their auxiliary role and relationship with the Cambodian Government\, and iii) learn more about CRC’s Restoring Family Links (RFL) and ‘safe migration’ awareness-raising activities. \nThe visit provided IFRC a unique opportunity to experience first-hand activities conducted by CRC related to migration. Since the start of 2017\, ‘Safe migration’ messaging has been included in awareness-raising activities primarily focused on RFL and ‘safer rural communities’ in Preah Vihear Province which borders Sisaket Province in Thailand – an initiative supported by ICRC. \nThis mission to Cambodia also provided the opportunity to meet with leadership of CRC and share updates on IFRC’s Global and Regional Migration Strategies and plans\, as well a meet with local government officials and introduce the RCRC Movement’s humanitarian mandate in relation to migration and cross-border movements of people in the Mekong region.

SUMMARY:Youth in School Safety (YSS) Training of Facilitators | 2-5 December 2017 | Brunei Darussalam
DESCRIPTION:Comprehensive School Safety has been a priority in DRR in Asia since 2006 with the launch of the ISDR global campaign on Safer Schools. It has been an important part of DRR in the education sector\, addressing the risk of children in schools and community contexts. Global Comprehensive School Safety Framework requires children and youths to play a specific role in their school safety by guiding teachers and parents to join the school safety in an effective way. \n“Youth in School Safety” (YSS) facilitators’ training was designed for youth empowerment at schools to strengthen the bonds between school children and Red Cross youths\, teachers and parents in their specific roles in school safety by equipping them with basic knowledge and skills for School Based Disaster Risk Reduction. \nThe training methodology with a participant-centred\, experiential learning approach relies on a non-cognitive methodology\, meaning those feelings\, experience\, or the physical body\, rather than intellectual analysis adopted from Youth as Agents of Behavioural Change (YABC) toolkits. It supports youth to analyse the School based Risk which is not only about the disaster but all comprehensive risks such as school bulling\, violence\, school hygiene and road accident and gain a knowledge and put them in practice by addressing/identifying specific gaps/issues and their root causes in their existing knowledge and practice\, giving all possible solutions to such issues by their own\, through scenario based games\, role-plays\, simulation and visualization exercises. In a second phase\, Children and youths share experiences with their peers and reflect together and make a ‘from their heart to their mind’ learning journey to become ethical leaders for School Safety. \nThe training was organized by Brunei Darussalam Red Crescent (BDRC) in a close coordination with the Ministry of Education in an aim to expand this programme to all schools over the country. It was conducted on 2-5 December 2017 in Brunei Darussalam\, with the participation of 16 persons (13 female and 3 male). \nThe event was covered on the Brunei newspaper (Spectrum) \nAnother coverage on the training by a Brunei newspaper \n  \nFor more information\, see the following documents: \n\ntraining report\nannex 1 (action plan of facilitators) \nannex 2 A (group 1) \nannex 2 B (group 2)

SUMMARY:Gender and Diversity Approaches to Vulnerability and Capacity Assessment Training | 4-8 December 2017 | Kampong Chhnang | Cambodia
DESCRIPTION:Vulnerability and Capacity Assessment (VCA) is a key assessment process used by the Cambodian Red Cross (CRC) and some of its branches for participatory community assessments. The VCA process allows the CRC to understand people’s exposure to and the needed capacity to be resilient to natural hazards. The VCA also enables local priorities to be identified and appropriate action taken to reduce communities’ risk to disasters. It eventually assists in the design and development of programs\, drawing on sustainable solutions from within the community. \n  \nObjectives \n\nTo assess risks and hazards facing communities and the capacities they have for dealing with them; involve communities\, local authorities\, and humanitarian and development organizations in the assessment from the outset.\nTo draw up action plans to prepare for and respond to the identified risks\nTo identify risk-reduction activities to prevent or lessen the effects of expected hazards\, risks and vulnerabilities.\n\n \n \n \n \nThere were 19 participants (10 males and 9 females) from 18 Cambodian Red Cross Provincial Branches. Participants in the training came from a variety of professional background\, including from disaster management\, health first-aider\, and youth adviser. \nSupporting documents: \n\nConcept note\nAgenda\nReport

SUMMARY:Trainings of Trainers on Disaster Law | 4-8 December 2017 | Viet Nam
DESCRIPTION:Disaster Law disseminations continue in Viet Nam  \nDisaster Law Training of Trainers in Can Tho city\, Can Tho Province. Photo by: VNRC HQs \nTraining of Trainers on Disaster Law in Quy Nhon\, Binh Dinh Province. Photo by VNRC HQs \nIn December 2017\, the Viet Nam Red Cross continued to disseminate disaster law to local-level stakeholders and communities through two trainings of trainers held in Can Tho Province in the Mekong Delta on 4-5 December and in Binh Dinh Province (Central Viet Nam) on 7-8 December. The objective of the trainings was to train a pool of Disaster Law facilitators\, based on a “fun and participatory” methodology to make disaster law topics accessible to communities. \nThe training included sessions on disaster law and Vietnam Red Cross law under the tagline of “Know Your Rights\, Roles and Responsibilities in Disaster Management.” Participants 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. \nThese trainings are part of a wider initiative of the IFRC to support Disaster Law disseminations in Southeast Asia\, with funding support from Canadian Government and the Canadian Red Cross. It is expected that the trained participants will roll-out the training modules in their communities\, thus contributing to an increase in the general knowledge of the population related to disasters and risk reduction.

SUMMARY:Regional Lessons Learned Workshop on DIPECHO Actions in Southeast Asia | 7-8 December 2017 | Bangkok\, Thailand
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nThe European Commission’s department for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO) has been contributing and investing in DRR and preparedness projects over the last decades both in terms of funding and activities. DG ECHO initiated DIPECHO (Disaster Preparedness ECHO) programme in 1996 with the key goal to increase communities’ resilience and reduce their vulnerability. In turn\, communities at risk could be better prepared for and protect themselves against various shocks and stresses\, including disasters triggered by natural hazards\, conflict\, economic crisis etc. \nOver the past 20 years\, support given by DIPECHO has generated significant impacts in disaster risk reduction and in community-based disaster risk reduction (CBDRR) which resulted in the protection of lives and livelihoods by helping communities and institutions to be better prepared to face disaster risks while promoting disaster preparedness in national and regional frameworks and agendas. \nThe impact of disasters has changed in Southeast Asia in the past few decades. DIPECHO partners\, local community\, civil society organizations (CSOs)\, and national and sub-national governments\, including regional institutions have developed various coping capacities. As a result of DIPECHO’s support\, significant achievements have been made in disaster risk reduction (DRR) in Southeast Asia in the past 20 years. In this backdrop\, a study has been developed to capture the extent of DIPECHO contributions in the evolution of DRR in the region which draws out good practices and achievements as well as challenges and key lessons learned. The study seeks to provide concrete recommendations for future DRR on how various players can continue to improve coping capacity in the government\, CSOs\, and at the local level\, in-line with regional and global frameworks such as the new AADMER Work Plan and in support for the implementation of the Sendai Framework. The study will be presented during this proposed Regional Lessons Learned Workshop of ECHO Partners to be held on 7 to 8 December 2017 in Bangkok\, Thailand. \n  \nThe workshop is expected to generate 2 key outcomes: \n\nOutcome 1: Final list of good practices and achievements as well as related challenges\, lessons and gaps in Southeast Asia confirmed and verified by partners.\nOutcome 2: Documentation of the recommendations to build on DRR in Southeast Asia\, which includes priority actions\, advocacy messages and strategies to enhance the investment in DRR in the region.\n\n  \nView and download the supporting documents: \n\nConcept note\nRegistration form\nAgenda\nParticipant list\nPractical information for the participants\nStudy on two decades of DIPECHO contributions to DRR in Southeast Asia report [pre-final version]\nAnnex of the Study on the two decades of DIPECHO contributions to DRR in Southeast Asia report [[pre-final version]\n\n  \nFor a more interactive page\, click here

SUMMARY:Violence Prevention Integration into CBHFA Training | 12-14 December 2017 | Kampot\, Cambodia
DESCRIPTION:  \nGender Based Violence (GBV) is a pressing problem not only because it violates human rights\, but also because it poses a challenge to public health and economic and social development. \nGBV in Cambodia remains a significant issue and is a result of gender inequality and traditional gender norms existing within Cambodia’s societal structure. Gender inequalities are also reflected in sexual relationship where females are not given equal opportunities in decision making. \nFollowing the research study by the Ministry of Women Affair\, the Cambodia Gender Assessment 2014 has shown that out of 417 men 22 percent of them had experience physical violence in the past year and 25 percent had experience physical or sexual violence in their life time. In 2013\, out of 1\,831 men and women’s violence\, it was found that 35 percent of every male partner had use physical or sexual violence against an intimate partner. \nRape and sexual violence is perpetrated by family members\, acquaintances and sometime strangers\, and it often occurs in home\, school\, workplace\, and in the community. There are limited studies in Cambodia with robust data reported by victims of rape and sexual violence. Rape is typically an under-reported crime. \nThe Cambodia violence against children survey showed that more than 50 percent of both men and women experience at least one incident of physical violence prior to age 18. \nThe Cambodian Constitution enshrines the right of all Cambodians to life\, personal freedom\, and security (article 42)\, and guarantees that there shall be no physical abuse of any individual (article 38). \nGuided by 2011-2020 strategy\, the Cambodian Red Cross (CRC) has conducted various initiatives with a focus on (community-based) women’s and children’s health\, with an emphasis on giving supports to mother and newborns\, and assisting orphans with HIV/AIDs. In addition\, CRC has a long history of addressing gender and diversity concern through its vulnerable group assistance programs which provide support to people with disabilities\, orphanages\, the elderly\, people living with HIV/AIDs\, and widows. \nIn order to further promote this gender and diversity initiative\, CRC currently builds on existing gender policy\, which was enacted since 2003\, to be the comprehensive gender and diversity policy through consultative review with technical expert from IFRC\, Ministry of Women Affair\, and CRC leadership including department directors/deputy directors/managers as well as directors and deputy directors from all 25 CRC branches.  The policy was finally endorsed and disseminated to all 25 Red Cross branches during the training of trainer on gender and diversity held in December 2016 last year. \nTo bring up this initiative forward\, and as an auxiliary to the Royal Government of Cambodia\, CRC conducted the training on violence prevention integration into CBHFA to selected CRC program staff and branches during 13-14 December 2017 in Kampot Province. The training provided a broader picture of violence root cause\, impact\, and prevention mechanism to all participants that can be used to mainstream or integrate in their program\, branch development work\, and in other disseminating activities. \nObjective \n\nBuild the knowledge/capacity/skill of selected CRC-NHQ/branch/program staff in the field on violence prevention and response module\, and ensure participant can train their RC volunteers on how to answer tricky questions and deliver related key message persuasively\nIntroduce tools/guideline/framework and learn experience/lesson learnt/mechanism related from relevance ministries/organization.\nUnderstand how to effectively mainstream violence prevention and respond into CRC’s programming/activities and identify the opportunities it brings.\n\n \nRole-playing activity \nSupporting documents: \n\nConcept note\nAgenda\nTraining report\nDignity\, Access\, Participation\, and Safety (DAPS) Framework [Khmer version]

SUMMARY:RCRC Movement Calls For ‘Humanized Recovery’ From Disasters at World Urban Forum | 7-13 February 2018 | Kuala Lumpur\, Malaysia
DESCRIPTION:The ninth session of the World Urban Forum (WUF9) on 11 February 2018 heard a call from the International Red Cross and Red Crescent (RCRC) Movement for greater accountability after disasters that may leave survivors bereaved and struggling to find shelter\, food\, and water. RCRC Movement specialists believe disasters\, climate change\, and conflicts are felt most acutely in cities that are often growing rapidly without proper planning\, and are calling for increased investment in disaster risk reduction (DRR). \n“Building back better without accountability to the people we serve harms human dignity\,” Xavier Castellanos\, IFRC Asia-Pacific Regional Director\, told a special session of WUF9 in Kuala Lumpur. Better policy-making and planning are needed to humanise recovery\, he said\, along with more investment in DRR\, climate adaptation and greater engagement with communities affected by disaster.

SUMMARY:Regional Resilience Initiative Lessons Learned Workshop | 21-23 February 2018 | Bangkok\, Thailand
DESCRIPTION:The Lessons Learned (LL) workshop is the opportunity for project stakeholders to come together and share insights and experiences of working with and on the Regional Resilience Initiative (RRI) project. Stakeholders are facilitated – through a structured analysis approach – to share opinions\, perspectives and experiences related to the project. The main LL approach is essentially a project assessment that can be framed as key questions as follows: \n1. What worked well in the project?\n2. What could have been improved in the project?\n3. What could and should be done differently next time? \nThe LL exercise should draw on both positive experiences i.e. good ideas that improve project efficiency and/or effectiveness\, as well as negative experiences. \nBackground\nIn April 2014\, IFRC launched the RRI project\, which was a 4-year endeavour funded by the Canadian Government (GAC – Global Affairs Canada) and the Canadian Red Cross (CRC). The Initiative supported 11 National Red Cross and Red Crescent (RCRC) Societies (NS) in Southeast Asia with the overarching goal of reducing the impact of natural disasters on vulnerable communities. \nSpecifically\, the Initiative sought to enhance skills and capacities within NS so that they could advocate more strongly at national and regional levels for the needs of communities in disaster risk reduction (DRR). This approach was complemented by the strengthening of regional partnerships\, both within RCRC networks and with key partners such as the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) Secretariat and other regional stakeholders. \nIn August 2017 a consultancy was commissioned to support the RRI Country Cluster Support Team (CCST) to illustrate the overall picture of RRI achievements in terms of intended outcomes\, progress towards outcomes\, and main achievements secured through the Initiative. A key part of this process was the hosting of a Lessons Learned workshop toward the end of the consultancy aimed at helping validate key findings and promote the learning gained from the RRI experience to a wider stakeholder audience.1 The workshop will be held over a period of 2 ½ days between 21-23 February 2018. \nClick on these links to find more information on the workshop:\n– Concept note\n– Workshop agenda\n– Participant list \nPre-workshop reading materials\n– RRI infographic\n– Case studies (4): Disaster Law\, Gender and Diversity\, Support to ASEAN\, and Resilience Library\n– Summary of the RRI Steering Committee Meeting in May 2017\n– “Community Voices” videos (6) from Indonesia\, Philippines\, Myanmar (Fire)\, Thailand\, Laos\, and Vietnam.\n– Timor Leste Red Cross ( CVTL) promoting community resilience\n \n   \nOpening Remarks \n\nOpening remarks by Ambassador of Canada to the ASEAN Marie-Louise Hannan\nOpening remarks by Deborah Cote\, Program Manager Asia\, International Operations\, Canadian Red Cross\nOpening remarks by Marwan Jilani\, Head of CCST\, IFRC Bangkok\n\nPresentations \nDay 1: \n\nRRI Baseline and Endline Findings\nRRI Milestones\n\nDay 2: \nSession 1: Localisation \n\nPreparedness for Effective Response\nMyanmar Red Cross Society\nLocalization and Disaster Response\nDisaster Preparedness and Response in Lao PDR\nThe Grand Bargain: Working Together efficiently and Effectively\n\nSession 2: Sexual and Gender-Based Violence \n\nGender-based violence in emergencies\nPresentation by Cambodia’s Women’s Affairs Ministry\nExamples of SGBV projects of CRC’s NS partners\n\nSession 3: Advocacy \n\nData and Information Collection and Post-Distribution Monitoring (PDM)\nThe Sendai Framework Monitoring Process & CSO Contributions\nUsing Evidence  and Advocacy  for  Positive Change\n\n\nSession 4: Peer-to-peer support and networking \n\nPeer-to-Peer Support and Networking\nThai-Lao Cross Border Cooperation\nRegional Resilience Knowledge Hub\n\n  \n  \n** Workshop report **
