REGIONAL UNV PROJECT PLANNING AND CAPACITY BUILDING WORKSHOP ON

DISASTER RISK REDUCTION

Bangkok, Thailand on 03-06 November, 2015

Executive Summary

The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 was adopted by UN Member States on 18 March 2015 at the Third UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction (WCDRR) in Sendai City, Japan. To monitor global progress of the Sendai Framework a set of global and national SFDRR indicators is being developed by an open-ended intergovernmental working group (OEIWG), for which technical support will be provided by the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR) and a group of experts. The Sendai Framework indicators will be agreed by December 2016 and will to the degree possible align with the monitoring and review mechanisms of the SDGs and the climate conventions. Therefore at the same time UN Agencies are proposing disaster risk reduction indicators to be included in the SDGs, through the ‘Open-ended Working Group’ in New York. While a set of mandatory core indicators developed by the open-ended intergovernmental working group (OEIWG) will monitor the global targets of the Sendai Framework, the Sendai Framework also states that countries should develop national indicators to monitor the implementation of the Sendai Framework as appropriate. There is a need for educating and discussing the links between the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2013 and 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and explore how DRR and Resilience are addressed and outlined in 2013 Agenda for Sustainable Development document.

Resident Coordinator of the

United Nations System’s Operational

Activities for Development in Thailand

The UNV Strategic Framework (SF) 2014-2017 articulates the scope and dimensions of

UNV’s strategic direction, results and associated resource requirements over a four-year

period.

The present regional project was designed and aimed to support the United Nations

Plan of Action on Disaster Risk Reduction for Resilience in South and East Asia and

Pacific through volunteerism in a number of countries that were affected by the Indian

Ocean Tsunami in 2004. The scope of the regional project is to allow the organization to

deliver its results in community resilience for environment and disaster risk reduction, in

accordance with the individual requirements of programme countries and partners, by

supporting seven UN Resident Coordinators (India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Maldives,

Myanmar, Sri Lanka, and Thailand), their offices and UNCTs, with one international and,

wherever feasible, one national UN Volunteer specialists in DRR, as well as establishing a

results and resources framework to guide regional and country-specific initiatives in

support of national/regional efforts and UN engagement in disaster risk reduction.

Expected outputs of the project: Output 1: UN Country Teams’ (UNCTs) and UN entities

DRR capacities are strengthened in India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Maldives, Myanmar, Sri

Lanka and Thailand, to provide effective support to country driver efforts to address

disaster risk; and Output 2: The importance of disaster risk reduction and resilience for

sustainable development, as well as the relevance of the role and importance of

volunteerism as a strong people-centered approach to achieving this, is demonstrated

to and recognized by stakeholders of the post-2015 development agenda and the post-

2015 framework for disaster risk reduction.

The workshop was attended by 37 participants from 8 countries of Asia pacific region and various UN

agencies, partner organizations, and international organizations active in the area of DRR and CAC in

Asia Pacific region. This regional capacity development/planning workshop was structured around

following main components with their objectives and planned to be addressed at this 4 day

workshop:

Introduce and discuss the links between the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2013 and 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and explore how DRR and Resilience are addressed and outlined in 2013 Agenda for Sustainable Development document.
