Dear CCWG & DMWG colleagues, 

I would like to share with you that UN Women and government of Japan is 
going to organize a Regional Conference on Gender in DRR tentatively on 
11-14 April 2016 in Hanoi. 
 
Overall the conference aims to identify practical measures for substantive 
integration of gender equality and women’s empowerment in disaster risk 
reduction taking into the differential impacts and abilities of different 
gender groups. This conference is very important in the context that the 
governments is requested to localize Sendai Framework and develop 
country’s targets and indicators. Further information you could find in 
attached ToR and tentative agenda.

They would highly appreciate your support in making this upcoming 
conference in Hanoi successful as following:

organization will support by organizing any session or side-events. 
Organizers of sessions will need to refine the objectives of the session,

the format of the session, etc. Organizers of side events will decide on 
what will be showcased, format, objectives, etc. For side events, please
