ADPC Disaster risk reduction 2017-2023 - ADPC Disaster risk reduction 2017-2022
Asia Disaster Preparedness Center, ADPC, has applied to Sida for funding of 5 933 000 USD (54 million SEK) to carry out the "Building resilience through inclusive and climate-adaptive disaster risk reduction in Asia-Pacific" in Asia and Pacific during the period 2017-2022. The five-year program aims to enhance regional capacity for cooperation on disaster and climate risk management with an overall objective of building resilience of people in the Asia-Pacific region. This will be achieved by building on current good practices and providing technical assistance to select governments, civil society organizations and regional bodies. Key focus areas of the program include: emergency preparedness and humanitarian response management; facilitating the use of risk information and sex-age-disability-disaggregated data by policy makers and disaster managers; integrating disaster and climate change concerns into development policy and programs; promoting inclusion and protection-sensitive approaches in risk reduction and disaster preparedness, promoting gender equality and women leadership for risk resilience; and enhancing the role of the Regional Consultative Committee on Disaster Management (RCC) to support member countries on implementing global frameworks and serving as a conduit for South-South learning, transboundary risk reduction and knowledge sharing. ADPC will implement the intervention together with the Swedish Contingency Agency, MSB, Stockholm Environment Institute –Asia, and the Raul Wallenberg Institute.
Bridging gaps and scaling up a school readiness program for the child-parent-teacher triad in Bangladesh, Nepal and Tanzania
Despite global efforts to improve children's readiness, many children are not well prepared to start school. This project builds on the success of the “Every Newborn-Reach Up Early Education Intervention for All Children” (ENREACH) initiative, which successfully increased children’s readiness to enter pre-primary school in Bangladesh, Nepal and Tanzania with supports for both children and their caregivers. This project will build evidence to adapt ENREACH to include teachers by enhancing the capacity of both parents and teachers. The project will explore how to improve teacher engagement and teaching competencies. Knowledge mobilization will help integrate the model into practice, reaching key stakeholders within the ministries of education in all three countries. The goal is to facilitate its transition into a government-supported program. The research consists of a trial with preschool teachers and caregivers and targets children aged 60 to 72 months enrolled in pre-school, ensuring that those with disabilities and both boys and girls are included. The project will produce a comprehensive training package focusing on foundational skills through play-based teaching, tools for school readiness, resources for mobilization of stakeholders and a cost evaluation framework. This project is funded under the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) Knowledge and Innovation Exchange, a joint endeavour between the GPE and IDRC to connect expertise, innovation and knowledge to help low- and middle-income countries build stronger education systems and accelerate progress toward the Sustainable Development Goal on education.
