much for sharing this valuable information on the 8th
Practitioner's workshop on Risk Reduction & Resilience to our
DMWG. I am sure you have received many responses/comments from our
Group members already and hope the key actors can bring and share
the actual experiences from VN.<br>
<br>
You also can send the invitation to the group's chairperson and
DMWG core group members (Save The Children currently is taking the
chairmanship role of DMWG). We have 12 core group members, I think
you already have their contact.<br>
if you need further information, please let me know.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Thuha<br>

On behalf of the co-organsing
partners, it is my pleasure to share
with you that the 8th edition of
the�Practitioners��Workshop on <b
class="">�Risk Reduction and
Resilience in Asia�</b>�will be
held in Bangkok,�Thailand during
23-25�November 2015. Since 1999,
disaster risk�management
practitioners in Asia have gathered
every two years with the�objectives
of sharing, learning, stocktaking
and consolidating good practice�and
networking focused on Disaster Risk
Reduction (DRR). Each�meeting
is�organised around a central theme,
which is seen as crucial in bringing
the�DRR agenda forward and
contributing to national, regional
and international DRR�frameworks.
The past meetings gathered
between�100-300 practitioners� from
across�the development and
humanitarian sectors, and various
other institutions
including�regional entities, UN
agencies, NGOs, Red Cross/Crescent
Movement, CSOs,�Academia,
Think-Tanks, etc.). Technical
experts from relevant
government�agencies have also
attended the previous workshops.<br
class="">
<br class="">
The 8th�Practitioners��Workshop is
organised jointly by the Asian
Disaster Preparedness Center
(ADPC),�the International Federation
of the Red Cross and Red Crescent
Societies (IFRC),�the United Nations
Development�Programme (UNDP) and the
Food and Agriculture�Organization of
the United Nations (FAO), with
technical and resource support�from
the European Commission,
Directorate-General for Humanitarian
Aid (ECHO).�<br class="">
<br class="">
<div class="">In order to maintain
the momentum generated�by the
recently convened 3rd�World
Conference on Disaster
Risk�Reduction (WCDRR) held in
Sendai and to ensure that early
achievements will be�adequately
reported, the�8th�Practitioners�
Workshop will provide
an�opportunity for practitioners
to reflect on the outcomes of the
3rd�WCDRR.�The meeting is tailored
towards technical discussions and
translating the�Sendai
commitments�into practice (i.e.,
�making it work on the ground�).
During the 3 days of
proactive�discussions, we would
focus on the following four key
themes:<br class="">
<ol class="">
<li class="">Enhancing Community
Resilience</li>
<li class="">Expanding
Preparedness for Response</li>
<li class="">Innovation and
Risk-Informed Development</li>
<li class="">Mainstreaming DRR
Within and Across Sectors �
Focusing on�Agriculture and
Resilient Livelihoods</li>
</ol>
The outcomes are intended to
contribute to the
ongoing�discussions on SFDRR
implementation and shaping the
agenda for the next�regional and
global conferences on DRR. Further
details are provided in
the�concept�note.<br class="">
<br class="">
<div class="">The co-organsing
partners have recommended that
your participation would be
highly beneficial�in
consolidating our mutual
initiatives on disaster risk
reduction in Asia</div>
