The 8th Practitioners’ Workshop on Risk Reduction and Resilience in Asia will provide a unique opportunity for practitioners and organizations to jointly reflect on the outcomes of the Third World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction which took place in Sendai, Japan in March 2015. The workshop will be organized by and for practitioners with relevant technical expertise and knowledge of risk reduction in Asia. The participants will identify ways to translate the Sendai commitments into practice and implement the framework on the ground - putting policy debates aside. The outcomes of the workshop will be harnessed to support regional and global disaster risk reduction efforts in support of the motto “DRR is everyone’s business”.
The workshop program will revolve around the following four themes:
- Enhancing Community Resilience
- Expanding Preparedness for Response
- Innovation and Risk-Informed Development
- Mainstreaming DRR Within and Across Sectors - Focusing on Agriculture and Resilient Livelihoods
