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:
· Co-organizer for sessions / side events: Please indicate if your
organization will support by organizing any session or side-events.
Organizers of sessions will need to refine the objectives of the session,
decide on the key messages, coordinate with chair and speakers, decide on
the format of the session, etc. Organizers of side events will decide on
what will be showcased, format, objectives, etc. For side events, please
discuss further with UN Women so we understand your requirements. For the
session or side event which you are interested in, send us an email.

will be comprised individuals who will be supporting in overseeing the
technical issues for the conference. Leading up to the conference and
during it, organizing committee members will oversee the topics of the
sessions, panel of speakers, chairs to ensure that the sessions are
focused and key gender and DRR messages are being highlighted. Where
necessary, the organizing committee will help the co-organizers of the
sessions in contacting the relevant speakers and chairs. This will be in
particular for the Day 2 when the technical session will be taking place.
During the conference, the organizing committee will work on the
recommendations coming out from the three-day conference to ensure views
of all participants are rightly represented. Organizing committee will be
