AFL Nepal: Frontliners review Disaster Risk Management Plan and Program
Community frontliners from Ward No.12 of Lalitpur Sub Metropolitan City intensively worked on finding ways to identify and tackle local risks. The participants from the community, local government, Red Cross, NSET and other partners reviewed existing Disaster Risk Management Plan and Programs and also brainstormed on how they can revitalize the community level efforts in more organized ways. Nearly 40 participants executed group works in a half day workshop on "Community Level Disaster Risk Management" organized by Disaster Risk Management Committee (DMC) of LSMC-12 with the support from NSET under GNDR Action at the Frontline (AFL). The participants included the DMC members, team leaders of different sub committees namely First Aid, Search and Rescue, Fire Fighting, Mason, Vulnerability Assessment teams and also representatives from Municipality, Nepal Red Cross Society, NSET and other partners. Program outcomes are being consolidated and will be shared with the community frontliners for further consultations and feedback. More groupworks and theme based discussions are planned next.
With the support from Global Network of Civil Society Organizations for Disaster Reduction (GNDR), NSET is implementing “Action at the Frontline (AFL) – 2014” project in partnership with Ward No. 12 Disaster Risk Management Committee, Lalitpur Sub Metropolitan City. Action at the Frontline (AFL) builds on previous Views from the Frontline (VFL) programs which were a participatory action-research project undertaken by civil society actors in conjunction with government bodies and local communities. VFL aimed at measuring progress towards the implementation of the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) at the local level across developing countries and regions. VFL 2015 will take a different format and profile the risks that communities are facing in their localities. This risk profiling together with prioritization of risks and development of local action plans provides a starting point for AFL which encourages continued local level action and reflection.
