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
