Training Course on Gender in Disaster Risk Reduction
Date:
24 - 26 Apr 2017
Venue:
Bangkok,
Thailand
In disasters, the needs of women, girls, boys and men are different and
distinct. Scientific research demonstrates how women are disproportionally
affected by natural disaster events. More marginalized populations, including
women, tend to be disproportionally and negatively impacted when natural disasters
happen. The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR), Agency for
Humanity, and the Sustainable Development Goals, all commit to reaching the
most vulnerable women, girls, boys, and men as well as work upon the needs of
diverse and at-risk groups in situations of disaster vulnerability and risk.
SFDRR also states that women and their participation are critical to
effectively managing the disaster risk. The pledge to leave no one behind is
the central theme of the 2030 Agenda and places a new obligation on our
commitment to reach and transform the lives of those who are at most risk of
being left behind.
This training will provide an introduction on how to operationalize gender
equality into programming for disaster risk reduction. The training will
develop skills and competencies in disaster risk reduction using a gender lens
throughout the program management cycle, from assessment, analysis, planning to
implementation, monitoring and evaluation. The training is targeting persons who manage
projects or programs related to disaster risk reduction, climate change, and
humanitarian action and would like to ensure a gender perspective integrated
into their work.
Participants will be provided with tools and practical understanding
to integrate gender issues into disaster risk reduction programs. The training
will build an awareness of gender equality, gender competence and enable the
participants to promote gender equality goals in their programme management
work, at various levels. Participants will gain knowledge to use gender
analysis tools, collecting relevant data and to use data to plan it in a
systematic way. They will also get guidance on development of monitoring and
evaluation frameworks and gender budgeting.
By completing the course, participants will
learn how to: - Analyze
disaster risk reduction program approaches from a gender lens
