Executive Summary A two-day regional workshop on “South Asia together for Humanitarian Imperative (SATHI) and Sendai

Spring” concluded on February 24, 2016 with a charter for collaboration between country-level

networks in South Asia. This included the Agency Coordinating Body for Afghan Relief and Development

(ACBAR) in Afghanistan, Sphere Bangladesh, Sphere India, the Disaster Preparedness Network (DPNet-

Nepal), Pakistan Humanitarian Forum in Pakistan and the Consortium of Humanitarian Agencies (CHA) in

Sri Lanka.

As a politically-complex region with high geo-physical and socio-economic vulnerability, South Asia has

good examples of civil-society humanitarian, disaster risk reduction and climate change cooperation but

strong collaboration at a regional level remains a gap. SATHI aims to provide a platform for civil society

exchange, learning and knowledge sharing, collaborative advocacy and capacity sharing at regional level

– to improve outcomes for affected and vulnerable people.

“SATHI is a milestone for humanitarian, DRR and climate change networks in the region for collaboration

and trans-boundary partnership. Based on humanitarian principles, the SATHI Network will work

together and cooperate in the larger humanitarian interest of the people of South Asia. There is a lot of

hope with SATHI to bring people-to-people connect and resilience in the region.

The workshop also broke down various global frameworks including the Paris Agreement, Sendai

Framework and Sustainable Development Goals under the Sendai Spring campaign to translate the

resilience agenda into action for Nepal.

The two day regional workshop was inaugurated by the Secretary of the Ministry of Home Affairs Mr.

Narayan Gopal Malego. A total of 74 participants from South Asian region, including representatives of

UN Agencies, INGOs, NGOs and independent experts attended the workshop.

Introduction South Asia region is prone to various natural hazards due to its unique geo-climatic conditions and pre-

existing socio-economic vulnerabilities of the people. The region is facing the wrath of natural disasters

with greater frequency and intensity. During the recent years countries in the region have suffered a

series of catastrophic disasters such as devastating earthquakes, landslides, avalanche, floods, flash

floods, glacial lake outbursts, cyclones and droughts which sharply affected various sectors of

development and poor communities. Therefore, rising frequency and intensity of disasters in the region

has galvanized the South Asian countries to enter into regional cooperation regimes.

Many disasters in the region are trans-boundary in their origin and can be prevented and better

managed through bilateral and multilateral cooperation between South Asian Nations. The

Governments and Civil Society Organizations in the region have shown a lot of commitment to reduce

disaster risks and manage disasters. Several initiatives have been taken in recent years to institutionalize

the regional cooperation to mitigate disaster risk. Therefore, the collaboration and common road map

between network organizations can help to better strategize, advocate and deliver humanitarian

imperative.

Keeping this in mind 2 days Regional Workshop on “SATHI (South Asia together for Humanitarian

Imperative) and Sendai Spring” was held during 23 – 24 February, 2016 in Kathmandu, Nepal to

establish an effective collaboration among relevant stakeholders from South Asian countries to achieve

the positive result in the humanitarian actions.
