UNITAR Hiroshima is launching an online training programme for women in Pacific Ocean SIDS countries, focusing on building resilience and enhancing security of the region through the inclusive Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) approach.
The Women’s Leadership in Tsunami-based Disaster Risk Reduction is designed to encourage participants to gain knowledge in DRR, including Sendai Framework, Sustainable Development Goals, Gender Responsive DRR, Multi-stakeholder Coalition in DRR, Community Based DRR, etc. and finally to develop an “inclusive country DRR Plan” that is contextualized for each country with consideration of both natural and biological hazards.
The target audience are 100 passionate women living in or from 14 Pacific SIDS (Cook Islands, Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, Nauru, Niue, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Marshall Islands, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu).
In order to gain insight from a diverse range of stakeholders as well as to effectively reflect the various perspective in DRR planning, participants will be selected from various backgrounds.
