Dear DMWG and Climate Change WG Colleagues

You have always fascinated us with your joint activities on disaster and climate resilience. On behalf of the co-organisers, I take this opportunity to share and invite interetsed member to join us on 30 September at Hotel Melia. The subhect is Strengthening Disaster Resilience of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). 

The National Business Forum on “Strengthening Disaster Resilience of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Viet Nam” is being co-organized by the Assistance Center for SME-North Viet Nam (TAC-Hanoi), Oxfam Viet Nam, The Asia Foundation and the iPrepare Business facility of ADPC under the regional project “Strengthening the Disaster Resilience of Small and Medium Enterprises in Asia” supported by Asian Development Bank (ADB), a fund financed by the Government of Canada, and the German Ministry for Economic Development and Cooperation (BMZ) through the Deutsche GesellschaftfürInternationaleZusammenarbeit GmbH (GIZ) within the framework of the Global Initiative on Disaster Risk Management (GIDRM). The key objectives are:

To emphasize the importance strengthening SME disaster resilience in promoting economic development and building resilient communities in Viet Nam
To share experiences and practices on initiatives on SME disaster resilience
To map out stakeholders and their planned, future and potential activities in implementing the roadmap process including potential small-scale pilot projects to support the strengthening SME disaster resilience in Viet Nam    

Resilient Businesses (large corporations , SMEs and MSMEs) are crucial part of safer communities and societies. The long term economic efficiency of investment in disaster risk reduction has become very evident in recent years. 
The iPrepareBusiness facility at ADPC with technical and financial support from GIZ, ADB and JICA focuses on to build disaster-resilient businesses in the region, by partnership to strengthen resilience of private sector ; providing technical assistance in strengthening resilience on a demand-driven basis; supporting governments in strengthening the enabling environment that promotes risk sensitive and informed investments by private sector and facilitating knowledge sharing at the regional and national level.

Kindly let us know if you can spend a day to learn and discuss with the public and private organisation on this topic. Appreciate your email at  hoangyen208 at gmail.com.
