SUMMARY:Viet Nam Red Cross Conducts Financial Service Provider Simulation Exercise | 4-5 June 2019 | Quang Tri\, Viet Nam
DESCRIPTION:The simulation was conducted in five communes in Quang Tri province between 4 and 5 June 2019. In total\, 1\,013 people who are poor and nearly poor were selected to participate in the piloting. Each person received VND 250\,000 (CHF 10.5) as allowance for their travel cost (petrol) and/or their wages. Out of the total number of beneficiaries\, 428 persons registered with Viettel\, while 585 others accessed the Post Office service\, both of which are financial service providers (FSPs). \nThe simulation is part of the project “Cash Preparedness Initiative” implemented by selected National Societies with the technical support from IFRC. The goal of the Asia Cash Preparedness initiative is for Viet Nam Red Cross (VNRC) to have the capacity and the ability to use cash transfer programming in emergencies\, recovery and resilience activities in a faster and more scalable way. \nThe simulation observed the following: \n\nDistribution sites were well set up;\nBoth FSPs were efficient and familiar with their services.\nEncashment went very well. Staff of the two FSPs showed good attitude and patience to beneficiaries\, particularly with those who have no experience with using ATM card (with Viettel) and who are proxy (with Post Office).\nCooperation and support from the local authority was provided. In some communes\, desks were arranged so that local authority leader could verify the relationship between the beneficiaries and their proxy.\nDistribution tickets were handed over to beneficiaries between 1 to 2 days prior to the distribution. At the distribution site\, PO distributed cash in envelops. They managed from validation to distribution. Given their experience with other organizations\, PO can distribute to 120 people within one hour with a team of 6 distributors and validators and 2 site managers. Reconciliation was done at end of each distribution with signatures of VNRC\, PO and local authorities.\nLogos of VNRC\, purpose of the cash\, role of VNRC (cash supported by VNRC) and PO (as distributor) are indicative in the envelope containing cash provided to beneficiaries. However\, there is no VNRC logo in the distribution ticket. This needs to be improved in the future. Proxy needs verification by local authority leaders.\nViettel Pay set up mobile counters at each commune where they handed over the ATM cards and helped beneficiaries to encash out directly with them. SMS message was sent to beneficiary’s phone numbers to update balance in their accounts (auto message). In addition\, ViettelPay supported (free) another message informing the date\, time and place where people can encash out. It took around three hours for ViettelPay to complete distribution to around 100 beneficiaries. Proxy was accepted with ID and mobile phone of beneficiaries plus the proxy’s ID. It was observed that around 90% of beneficiaries accessed accounts/ATM cards for the first time.\nBeneficiary exist survey were conducted at each distribution site by volunteers\, using KOTO TOOLBOX. In total\, 168 beneficiaries were interviewed. See below for further details.\nIn total\, 581 out of 588 beneficiaries received cash through PO. 7 beneficiaries moved to other places. As with Viettel\, 412 out of 425 people have received ATM and encashed out. Viettel handed the rest of 13 ATM cards to Red Cross commune staff who will deliver them to the beneficiaries who did not show up in the distribution.

SUMMARY:Proposal Writing and Project/Programme Planning Training for Lao Red Cross | 24-27 June 2019 | Vientiane\, Lao PDR
DESCRIPTION:As an auxiliary to the Government\, Lao Red Cross (LRC) conducts activities within a range of programmes including emergency response\, water and sanitation\, health\, disaster preparedness and risk reduction\, livelihoods\, first aid\, and youth. The devastating flash floods caused by torrential rains in 2016 and the dam collapse in 2018\, have demonstrated the importance of coordinated emergency response\, at a regional and global level\, in dealing with large-scale disasters. \nThe two-year USAID/OFDA funded project “Red Ready” aims to strengthen LRC’s organizational capacities\, readiness and resilience in responding to disasters. As part of the project\, LRC headquarters and branch staff will be supported in developing proposal writing skills and enhancing the knowledge of Project/Programme Planning (PPP). The three-day training is expected to support LRC in its upcoming engagement with national\, regional and international partners. In addition\, the Red Ready Program is also strengthening LRC’s knowledge in statistics and data recording which will complement the management of its operation. \nIn further promoting regional and international coordination for disaster management and response\, LRC will be supported in enhancing its capacities in proposal writing and project/programme planning. \nThe International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) will offer a three-day training that focuses on the following: \n\nTwo-day training on effective and comprehensive development of proposal for funding\, touching on the key elements of a proposal and writing process\, and providing a hands-on writing exercise.\nOne-day overview of the key elements that complete the process of project/programme planning.\n\nTraining documents: \n\nConcept note and agenda\nProposal Writing (in English and Lao languages)\nProject/Programme Planning (in English and Lao languages)\n\nPhotos from the training:

SUMMARY:Asia Pacific Region Emergency WASH Training | 24-28 June 2019 | Bandung\, Indonesia
DESCRIPTION:During 24-28 June 2019\, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) will be conducting an Asia Pacific Region Emergency WASH Training in Bandung\, Indonesia. \nThe five-day training aims to develop and strengthen the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) emergency response capacity in the Asia Pacific region in the WASH sector as well as to enhance technical knowledge and skills of National Society staff and volunteers. \nSpecific objectives\n1. Increase participants’ technical skills and knowledge to deploy and operate existing WASH disaster response tools\, aligned with regional and global WASH disaster response systems;\n2. Train participants from Asia Pacific National Societies in a common methodology\, in order to build a platform for future collaborative response mechanisms between these National Societies\, strengthening the network of WASH response staff and volunteers within the region; and\n3. Ensure all participants are familiar with the available coordination mechanisms and assessment tools for emergency response. \nBackground\nRegional disaster response teams (RDRTs) in the Asia Pacific Region began in 2003 out of a recognised need for increased disaster response capacity in South Asia and South East Asia. Due to the need to deploy RDRTs with specialised skills\, several specialised curriculums for Logistics\, WASH\, Health in Emergencies\, Information Technology and Telecommunications\, and Shelter have been developed. The Asia Pacific region has had approximately 44% of the total global deployments of Emergency Response Units (ERUs). Furthermore\, WASH-specific ERUs and Kits mobilised in the Asia Pacific region have made up 41% of the global total deployments. \nPre-training reading materials \n\nConcept paper\nEmergency WASH Online Course 2019\n\n  \nClick here to visit an associated site for more resources.
