Why a regional project on inclusive
DRM?
• Women, persons with disabilities and socially
excluded groups are, together with other
marginalized groups, at higher risk with
regards to natural hazards
• Yet, no harmonized, regionally-based, locally
appropriate inclusive DRM model exists in
South Asia nor is recognized by relevant
region-wide DRM actors
Where does INCRISD South Asia come
from?
• Regional Lessons Learnt Workshop for Sixth
DIPECHO Action Plan in South Asia
Learning 1: “Community based disaster risk
reduction can becomes inclusive if vulnerable and
excluded groups and minorities get involved during
the conceptualization, design, and implementation
and lead the process along with local stakeholders”
Learning 2: “An inclusive planning and budgeting
can ensure equitable resource allocation”
• A first regional project by Handicap
International “Make Disaster Risk Reduction
Disability Inclusive in Asia”
• Handicap International, Oxfam and
ActionAid’s collaborative experiences (e.g.
Bangladesh and Nepal) have demonstrated:
Added value of putting expertise together
What a regional project on inclusive
DRM for?
• INCRISD South Asia project aims at designing, validating
and promoting a regionally-based inclusive model on
CBDRM, by establishing a close collaboration with
DIPECHO-funded projects and in general DRM
stakeholders in 6 South Asian countries:
- Afghanistan
- Bangladesh
- India
- Nepal
- Pakistan
- Sri Lanka
INCRISD South Asia: Objectives
• General objective:
To build safer, more resilient communities in South
Asia, by promoting an inclusive CBDRM model with a
replication and scaling-up perspective through longer
term national and international DRR instruments
• Specific objective:
An inclusive DRM model used by key stakeholders,
enhanced regional partnerships and achieved cross
fertilization increases the coping capacities of the most
vulnerable segments of the population in South Asia to
face and manage adverse conditions, emergencies or
disasters
Expected result 1:
CONSOLIDATE THE MODEL
A model on inclusive DRM is designed and validated through good
practice collection and pilot-testing within target in-country DIPECHO
projects and involvement of key DRM actors in South Asian countries
Pilot

Collectio
n of good

Stakeholders involvement including marginalized persons / groups:
Advisory Committee at regional level, DRM actors at national level,
advisory groups at local level
Expected result 2:
PROMOTE AND DISSEMINATE THE MODEL
Communities, local, national and regional institutions, international
organisations and institutional donors are willing to adopt and use the
evidence-based inclusive DRM model
• Disseminate inclusive model for community level Information, Education and
Commu
Communication activities
nity
Local
• Support the implementation of inclusive action plans, targeting representatives
of DRR/M authorities, district, ... and local self-governance institutions
• Provide technical inputs to DRM stakeholders
Nation • Promote harmonized approach related to inclusive messages, media and tools for
the observation of DRR days at national and international levels
al
•Promote the validated model to DRM actors/partners (DIPECHO South Asia Lessons
Region Learnt Workshop)
•Contribute to the HFA 2015 review process
al
Expected result 3:
DEVELOP STAKEHOLDERS’ CAPACITY
The capacities of stakeholders from community to international level on
inclusive DRR/M are strengthened to contribute to the development,
promotion, integration and replication of the inclusive model
Transfer know-how:
INCRISD South Asia as a helpdesk, providing technical
support on the inclusive
model and its
operationalization
Capacity
Developm
ent
Establish and field-test
mechanism for learning,
training and professional
interaction:
- Inclusive DRM toolkit and training
modules
- E-Learning mechanisms and
interactive forum (resource
management center)
What does it mean for DIPECHO projects?
• All activities conducted in the interest of model validation / enrichment
and will result neither in the initiation of new projects nor in the
duplication of activities. INCRISD South Asia does not implement
directly in the field, but through target DIPECHO projects in each
country for pilot-testing.
• By model, INCRISD South Asia means a framework of reference drawn
from pilot-testing and good practices collected at field level. The
inclusive model will comprise: basic principles, approaches,
methodologies and reference to tools on inclusive DRM.
• It does not intend to substitute the DP model put forward by DIPECHO
projects; on the contrary, it builds on projects’ good practices and pilot
testing in terms of inclusion while enhancing regional partnerships and
cross-fertilization.
What benefits for your DRM projects?
• Your project will improve its inclusiveness and ultimately
impact on most marginalized groups
• Your teams will benefit from a capacity development
process on inclusion:
- “Learning by doing”
- Facilitation and customised technical support by INCRISD
South Asia team (comprising of dedicated staff from
Handicap International, Oxfam and ActionAid) if/where
needed.
- Access to “products” of the cross-fertilization process
(toolkit on inclusive DRM, training packages, resource
management center, etc.)
How does INCRISD South Asia operate
with DIPECHO partners and other DRM
stakeholders?
• All DIPECHO partners and other DRM actors will
actively contribute to the consolidation and
promotion of the model (adding in their expertise and
experience on inclusion of socially excluded groups /
individuals in DRM)
• Yet, for the purpose of pilot-testing, some targeted
DIPECHO projects will be involved in additional
activities
• DRM coordination platforms in each country will also
be involved for the promotion and dissemination of
the inclusive model at national level

Upcoming steps (1 and 2)
(1) FOR ALL DIPECHO PROJECTS AND OTHER DRM ACTORS:
A one-day in-country consultation  INCRISD South Asia,
its methodology and a preliminary model on inclusive
CBDRM will be presented and discussed with the whole
spectrum of DRM actors in each country
(2) FOR TARGETED IN-COUNTRY DIPECHO PROJECTS,
additionally:
A two-day in-country workshop  the overall
collaborative methodology will be fine-tuned, respective
roles and timeline will be defined, criteria for pilot
community selection established, the mechanism for
collection of good practices and set-up of the Advisory
Group(s) tweaked, etc
Upcoming steps (3 and 4)
(3) FOR ALL DIPECHO PROJECTS AND OTHER DRM ACTORS
A mapping will be carried out in the course of both events:
INCRISD South Asia team will collect and assess inclusive
tools, capacities, systems and practices in order to produce
a baseline and further inform the preliminary inclusive
model
(4) FOR TARGETED IN-COUNTRY DIPECHO PROJECTS,
additionally:
The basis for continuous support for the pilot
implementation and monitoring, where and whenever
required, will be clearly established and agreed upon.
Upcoming steps (5)
(5) FOR ALL DIPECHO PROJECTS
Experience sharing and technical support to
define Disaster Preparedness Minimum
Standards in terms of inclusion
