INTRODUCTION
The Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC) is currently
conducting a study in the developing countries of Asia and the Pacific
to document the existing capacity building efforts on disaster
management. The purpose of the study is to identify, document and
assess the effectiveness of capacity building activities underway and
recommend additional activities that will enhance the capacity of
developing country institutions and individuals to effectively respond
to disasters.
This study would be presented in the regional workshop expected to
be organized in May 2005 in Thailand. Selected successful capacity
building initiatives would be showcased at the workshop. The workshop
would review the effectiveness of the strategy of disaster management
and recovery and also outline specific steps that can be taken to
increase capacities of institutions in Asia to better respond to
humanitarian emergencies.
More details and explanation regarding compiling the details of the
capacity building efforts is elaborated in the Explanatory
Notes presented below. We would be grateful if you could
provide us with the information requested through the survey forms
attached.
