Mainstreaming Disaster Risk Reduction in
Local Governance Course No. 3, 1 – 5 Sep,
Manila, Philippines
The course enhanced knowledge and
capacity of local urban authorities,
associated NGOs and other stakeholders
in streamlining disaster risk reduction
in urban development. It created
opportunities for mainstreaming risk
reduction as a component of urban
governance. The secondary objective of
the training was to build the capacity
of national training partner
institutions, which will make an attempt
to institutionalize the capacity
building program on this theme at
national level. This would also help
communities at risk and NGOs to support
the governance and participate in
creating safer urban communities and
sustainable development through DRR.

Community-Based Management of AHI in
Asia”,

community-based management of AHI in

and tools that have been brought
together through the resource kit, as
well as the technical contributions from
facilitators and resource persons with
key objectives to,
-
sensitise community-level
practitioners to tools and processes
that are currently available to
strengthen their work at the
community level in managing
different aspects of AHI.
-
give an overview of 'good practices'
and useful tools – based on past
experience of community-based
management of AHI in Asia – and
taught to think critically about
these and how they can be applied in
their own context
-
Practitioners will contribute to the
evaluation of the training materials
and, through this evaluation, to the
finalisation of a training package
for community-based management of
AHI
