• Co-organize 2 Forums with NDM-P in Hue (11th March 2008) and Ho Chi Minh City (28 March 2008)
• Joint presentation by DIPECHO Partners on integration of DM in to socio-economic development planning
DM Integration Workshop (DANI-NDMP)
• Different expectations (results, commitment)
• Different working styles
• All partners busy with their own DIPECHO projects
• Communication and cooperation among so many organizations.
Challenges
• By working together with a united voice, advocacy efforts have greater impact.
• Joint advocacy initiatives provide a vehicle, a platform, for communicating with government at a strategic, rather than project based, level.
• Through DANI, networks have been established between NGOs and the Government that can be built on into the future.
• Joint activities require sufficient commitment of time and resources from donors and partners to be successful.
• A mechanism for ensuring the commitment of all partners throughout the project is essential
• Working through existing coordination mechanisms i.e. NDMP and DMWG rather than creating a new forum builds local networking capacity and sustainability.
• A Catalyst for ACTION
Lessons Learnt
• Objectives: To strengthen CBDRM advocacy and implementation through effective networking and joint initiatives
• Membership: open to DIPECHO partners and interested DM Practitioners. So far 11 partners have committed to join JANI as core members (SCA, DWF, CARE, NLRC/SRC/VNRC, CECI, Action Aid, WHO, ADPC, ADRA)
Way forward Joint Advocacy Network Initiative (JANI)
Expected Results (3):
DM Practitioners and relevant stakeholders benefit from synergies and information exchange for a more coherent CBDRM implementation
Decision makers, DM practitioners and other relevant stakeholders are better equipped to integrate CBDRM into broader development planning in line with National Strategy for Disaster Prevention, Response and Mitigation to 2020
General public is aware of the needs and ways of disaster preparedness
Way forward - JANI
1. Regular coordination meetings and joint events of JANI partners
2. Maintain online CBDRM repository
3. Conceptualize CBDRM and develop CBDRM framework in consultation with actors including Government
4. Organize two disaster tours for experience exchange and to support raising public awareness on DP
5a. Compile and publish Good Practices and technical notes on 4 on-spot principles in DRM in Vietnam
5b. Study and publish on Indigenous knowledge on disaster prevention and adaptation to climate changing
