Where do we stand
While an inclusive Anticipatory Action in Disaster Risk Reduction has received significant attention on both regional and global level. There are some challenges remain, including;
- The Anticipatory Action in Disaster Risk Reduction in Southeast Asia is just at the initial level with very limited experience on the engagement of the most vulnerable groups including women, children, and people with disability.
- Lack of existing training module and implementation guideline that mainstream gender equality, disability and social inclusion
- Lack of comprehensive monitoring and evaluation on the anticipatory action initiative at community level and linking with government priority on DRR.
Session guiding questions
- To what extent is the status and progress of mainstreaming Gender Equality, Disability and Social Inclusion in Anticipatory Action for DRR in Southeast Asia?
- What are the level of engagement of communities in particular vulnerable groups in the implementation of the Anticipatory Action in Southeast Asia?
