Regional Community Safety and Resilience Forum Challenges to operationalize Resilience approach/ implementing road map  Internal:  Not yet have mechanism and rules for the coordination  A large number of VNRC staff but limited expertise in some areas - difficult for integrated activities  External:  Potentially donors are interested in supporting a thematic area e.g. WatSan, HIV/AIDS…  Project with small funding, not enough for integrated activities  No point models from the PNs to learn

7 www.ifrc.org Saving lives, changing minds. Regional Community Safety and Resilience Forum Opportunities to operationalize Resilience approach/ implementing road map  First Aid opportunity to standardize First Aid across all VNRC departments/units  Urban DRR - discussion on including road safety as well as there is an opportunity to include epidemic control within these areas  VCA is being strengthened next year with increased focus on gender and climate change. Next year the Health Department would like to strengthen the assessment on health. The ultimate aim would be a multi-sectoral assessment  A needs assessment template (combine needs for heath) developed for trialing at recent PDRT refresher training
