Regional Workshop on CBDRMStandards (24-27 January)

ADPC in partnership with UNESCAP organized a Regional Workshop on CBDRMStandards from 24-27 January in Bangkok with funding support from DIPECHO. The purpose of formulating CBDRM standards is to contribute to improvements in the practice of community-based disaster risk management (CBDRM) in the countries of Southeast Asia by providing guidelines to decision makers and practitioners for designing, implementing and evaluating the community-based initiatives and projects. As a result of this workshop, the "Critical Guidelines for Community Based Disaster Risk Management in Southeast Asia" was developed. This document includes Process Guidelines and Outcome Guidelines in the implementation of CBDRM.
