Dear colleagues in the work of disaster risk reduction,
We are pleased to invite you to participate in any of the 3 Country-level
Conferences we are organizing to share innovative approaches on
community-based disaster preparedness and resilience through the NGO
Disaster Preparedness Program, a joint project of Give2Asia (G2A) and the
International Institute of Rural Reconstruction (IIRR). The program aims to
share knowledge and best practices in community-level disaster preparedness
in Asia. It seeks to highlight and raise more financial support for the
most innovative and effective disaster preparedness initiatives in many
at-risk communities in the region.
These conferences will identify the types of projects funded by the NGO
Disaster Preparedness Fund over the next 2 years. The Fund will
support one-year
projects up to $25,000 and two-year projects up to $50,000. We are also
collecting concept notes on disaster preparedness and resiliency building
programs for consideration under this Fund. To learn more about this
opportunity or apply for funding, visit www.give2asia.org/RFP.
There will be a maximum of 90 participants coming from the 6 countries
targeted by the project. These countries are: Bangladesh, India, Indonesia,
Myanmar, the Philippines, and Vietnam. Since the seats for these
country-level conferences are limited, those of you who are interested to
attend must accomplish and submit a Case Story Intake Form which you will
find in the attached announcement. This will be the basis for selecting the
participants. The selected case stories will be presented during the
conference. All selected participants will be sponsored by the NGO Disaster
Preparedness Program for their travel, room and board for the duration of
the conference. Below are the schedules of the Conferences:
1. July 2-4 - Philippines and Indonesia; venue will be in the Philippines
2. August 5-7- Bangladesh and India; venue in Bangladesh
3. August 26-28 week- Myanmar and Vietnam; venue will be in Myanmar
All the submitted Case Story Intake Forms will be reviewed by a selection
committee comprise of IIRR and Give2Asia. With your permission, all these
stories will also have the opportunity to be published in the online NGO
Disaster Preparedness Platform. The deadlines for submission are as follows:
*Conference Dates and Venue*
