1. Responsibility and Approach
ADPC's China and North-East Asia Program is under the Office of
Executive Director, which is supervised by the Deputy Executive
Director. It is responsible for working with relevant agencies in
China and other North-East Asian countries to develop collaborative
projects on disaster risk management.
Our approach, using active training, consultancy and technical/management
projects, forms the basis for capacity building on disaster risk
management among collaborating agencies. The ultimate goal is to
further develop institutional network to provide our services in
a variety of activities encompassing the field of post-disaster
assessment, civil engineering and mitigation practice, and the planning
of immediate relief response and subsequent rehabilitation activities.
Therefore our Chinese and North-East Asian partners will avail of
the ADPC's services in formulating disaster risk management policy
at various levels, building capacity of the disaster management
institutions, and program design for comprehensive disaster management.
