The fundamental principle of community-based disaster risk reduction (CBDRR) involves the development of bottom-up processes arising from the communities themselves. Development is based on the community's specific needs and its aspirations for safety, and appropriate actions to address these. In above context, ADPC realizes CBDRR is a significant principle to reduce the disaster risk. Therefore, ADPC is pleased to announce the 24th Regional Training Course on Community-Based Disaster Risk Reduction to be held from July 20-31, 2015 in Bangkok, Thailand.
Course Objective:
The course aims to develop the capacity of community-based disaster risk reduction (CBDRR) practitioners who will be the main project implementers at the community level by providing them with knowledge and skills in CBDRR including:
* Discussing the context of CBDRR in a changing climate
* Designing and conducting climate-inclusive community risk assessments
* Identifying measures for climate-inclusive disaster risk reduction through vulnerability reduction and community capacity development
* Preparing risk reduction plans and discussing their integration into sectoral developmental programs
* Analyzing issues and challenges in the implementation of communitybased risk reduction and climate change adaptation programs
* Discussing areas of professional development
* Building commitment and value systems to promote community empowerment for climate-inclusive community risk reduction
