www.ifrc.org Saving lives, changing minds. Additional Project Details Shared: Nepal: Building urban community resilience ; QUT: Engaging at-risk communities 7 Fully completed Case Studies: 2 others on Local Level Action (KA3) and The Role of Women (KA4) These focus mainly on 2 underlying questions: How to develop a long term and sustainable national strategy to enable community resilience? How can the role of people with disability and other vulnerable groups be enhanced in resilience building? Progress, general and thematic lessons learnt and recommendations can be extracted from these. However, there is little indication or elaboration of that results from these case studies contributing to HFA1 progress and the enabling role played by HFA1. Some recommendations can be extracted from the other case studies provided, but these are limited. Update – Summary of Contributions (6)

www.ifrc.org Saving lives, changing minds. How to develop a long term and sustainable national strategy to enable community resilience? Re-focus centralized “top-down” systems of post-disaster relief to disaster prevention and preparedness approaches that are owned by communities (Vietnam). Integrate community-based DRR programmes into community-based disaster preparedness and mitigation plans into the development plans prepared by local government (India) Use a broad programme of action that consists of a mixture of structural and non- structural measures (e.g. preparedness training, Disaster Management planning exercises, awareness-raising, establishing Emergency Operation Centres and systems, facilitating technology transfer, etc) (India). Sample Lessons Learnt from Case Studies

www.ifrc.org Saving lives, changing minds. How to develop a long term and sustainable national strategy to enable community resilience? Acknowledge the technical contribution that civil society actors can provide as partners (e.g. in the development of national programmes and for training support) and the complimentary roles played by the different actors and members of the community (Vietnam & India) Ensure that CBDRR plans are supported by allocations from the national budget (Vietnam). Sustain, complement and coordinate efforts by multiple stakeholder groups in sync with local risk context, governance systems, DM Plans, and other developmental initiatives (India) Active leadership from sub-national governance institutions (India); and Participation of communities (India) Sample Lessons Learnt from Case Studies
10
www.ifrc.org Saving lives, changing minds. How can the role of people with disability and other vulnerable groups be enhanced in resilience building? Develop inclusive policies, programmes and actions through a whole-of-community approach (DiDRRN) Facilitation of partnerships for joint action (NF&JDF) Mandate the engagement of established youth groups in DRR activities within sub- national youth policies (India) Additional Issues: There is a need to understand the characteristics of urban community resilience and build on this to address growing vulnerability within areas that are urbanizing (Nepal; Bhutan) Sample Lessons Learnt from Case Studies
11
www.ifrc.org Saving lives, changing minds. Other Lessons Learnt The selection of vulnerable communities to scale-up community resilience programmes requires the development of quality baseline data (Vietnam) Shared understanding is developed through the facilitation of lessons learned amongst the multiple stakeholders through dialogue on key components that constitute good CBDRM, and access to high quality existing training materials and other resources (Vietnam & India). Partner with and use existing training facilities at the sub-national level to develop and conduct disaster management training modules for local actors (India). Sample Lessons Learnt from Case Studies

www.ifrc.org Saving lives, changing minds. Accountability framework for community resilience building - Suggestion from India Action Actors accountable to take actions Who are the actors accountable to? Targets and indicators to measure progress Methods to monitor and measure targets and indicators 1:Develop a monitoring tool to assess community resilience Ministry of Home Affairs and NDMA/NIDM CommunitiesIndicator: Resilience Index; Guideline for data collection and analysis Target: One National level Index and guideline; 4 State level indices and guidelines Stakeholder consultation; Review and Field testing of Indices and Guidelines

Targets and indicators to measure progress Methods to monitor and measure targets and indicators 2:Strengthen local level capacities Training Institutes, Academic and Research Institutions, and professional associations National and sub-national Governments Indicators: Number of Training Modules, Database of Trainees and Resource persons, Number of Training Assessments done, Number of Training Institutes with trained human resources and budgetary allocation Target:4 Training Modules; 2 Databases; 2 Training Needs Assessments; 2 Training Institutes strengthened Peer review of Training Modules; Review of database; Government Orders issued for hiring of human resources and budgetary allocation

www.ifrc.org Saving lives, changing minds. WHAT:Suggestions for required specific actions, targets and indicators for issues to be considered in HFA2 Plenty of suggestions for required specific actions (country and thematic specific) Some good suggestions for targets and indicators e.g. India. But limited. WHO:Suggestions for specific stakeholder(s) who should implement the recommended actions for consideration in HFA2 Some good suggestions for specific stakeholders e.g. NF & JDF. But limited. Contributions for HFA2 ‘Drill down”
15
www.ifrc.org Saving lives, changing minds. HOW:Suggestions on how 1) to address the issues proposed, drawing on the practical experience, 2) to obtain commitments of stakeholders for implementation, 3) to ensure accountabilities (i.e. what Monitoring and Review mechanisms), substantiated with examples and good practices. Some suggestions on how to address issues from case studies submitted Limited suggestions on how to obtain commitments of stakeholders Limited suggestions on how to ensure accountabilities, mechanisms to use. Few substantiated through the case studies Contributions for HFA2 ‘Drill down”

www.ifrc.org Saving lives, changing minds. 1. What actions are required to build resilience of communities? Underlying questions: a) What elements contribute to local level resilience and the resilience of vulnerable groups such as children, elderly, people with disability? b) Which elements have been effective? And which ones need to be improved? c) What instruments are available to assist in building local level resilience and resilience of vulnerable groups? (e.g. social protection, community engagement, CBDRM including disaster preparedness, post-disaster reconstruction) d) How can the role of children, youth, women, people with disability and other vulnerable groups be enhanced in resilience building? How can local and indigenous knowledge be better integrated? Key Issues to be addressed in the Research Paper
18
www.ifrc.org Saving lives, changing minds. Underlying questions: e) Who should be responsible for building resilience at the local level? Who should they be accountable to? What targets and indicators could be used to measure progress and underpin accountability? How can these targets and indicators be monitored and measured? Examples of Practices: f) Examples of successful community resilience building? How HFA1 has enabled/contributed to these achievements Important factors in success Challenges and how they were overcome Which stakeholders were engaged and what mechanisms were used? Key Issues to be addressed in the Research Paper – continued..
