USAID

Reporting Period:

July-Sept 2010

Executive Summary

Follow-up on Action Items from last quarter

The last Quarter April-Sept 2010 saw the PEER team undertake CADRE course in National Pilot Course –

Bacolod, Philippines (x2) as well as CADRE Training for Instructors course, – Bacolod, Philippines (x1), the

CPM Cambodia and the CPM Vietnam. Please see ANNEX 1 for CADRE Development process.

This Reporting Quarter: Building on this Regional and National program establishment undertaking, and the

commencement of National-level activities, the PEER team has begun the development of adapted CADRE

curriculums for National implementation and use. The National Pilot course has been undertaken in Da Nang,

Vietnam, with a successful Curriculum Development Workshop taken place in this reporting quarter, to hone

the materials ready for national training and roll-out at local level. Also for CADRE, there has been some

potential progress in India ahead of CMP planned for October/November, which centre around discussions with

Focus Humanitarian and SEEDS India, with parallel discussions with IFRC and ARC on the possibilities of

collaboration at some level on implementing CADRE. This has also proved a challenge, and this will be

reported on further in this report.

For HOPE, there have been successful courses implemented in Indonesia and Nepal under the Partial Funding

Assistance Program (PFAP). There have been developments in conceptualizing possible updates from ADPC‟s

experience in conducting the Hospital Emergencies Preparedness and Response course (HEPR), which include latest

best practice and themes from the recent ISDR world campaign on Safe Hospitals, and integrating these into

national HOPE curriculums.

I) Activity Outline:

PEER Pakistan - Country Planning Mission Dates: 5-9 July 2010

Location: National Committee on Disaster Management, Prime Minister‟s Secretariat, Islamabad, Pakistan.

Participants: NDMA-Hosted meeting: Lt. General Nadeem Ahmed R, Chairman of NDMA and

representatives from NDMA, USAID –OFDA, Pakistan Red Crescent National Society, Pakistan Institute of

Medical Science (PIMS), Pakistan Emergency Services (PES) 1122, Asian Disaster Preparedness Center

(ADPC) Bangkok, Thailand, and the National Society for Earthquake Technology, Nepal (NSET) including .

Mr. Amod Dixit, Director of NSET and COP for PEER, ADPC Team led by Mr. NMSE Arambepola, Director,

ADPC, USAID representatives notably Mr. William Berger, Senior Regional Advisor, USAID-OFDA.

Other organizations leading the field of Disaster Management, Preparedness and Response in Islamabad were

also represented at the opening PEER meeting

Review and Outcomes:

The CPM was co-organized by NSET / ADPC and NDMA and featured an opening ceremony with all key

stakeholders and partners as well as representatives from Donor agencies USAID. The ceremony and meeting

was for the launching of PEER 3 in Pakistan – extending PEER-ADPC objectives on HOPE and CADRE. This

was an opportunity to discuss the different roles and responsibilities of Partners agencies in running PEER 3.

There were presentations from ADPC, NSET, NDMA, PES 1122, other agencies, followed by extensive

discussion throughout the one-day meeting on challenges, systems, opportunities for partnership, funding,

sustainability of PEER courses in Pakistan. The PEER program in Pakistan received support and endorsement

from Ministers, Officials and representatives from NDMA, USAID-OFDA, ADPC, NSET and other keynote

speakers.

Discussions centered on national adaptation for CADRE taking into account existing community-based

programs and possible linking of these services for better implementation like the Flood Emergency

Management Training (ADPC).It was agreed that there needs to be strong cooperation ties with National

Agencies through partnership agreements before national implementation. The National Committee on Disaster

Management designated as focal agency in PEER implementation in Pakistan. ALL disaster–related initiatives,

projects, programs, organizations and agencies operate under the NDMA Islamabad, with their awareness and

support. The meeting was an opportunity to share experience in Disaster Response from Pakistan and plan for

better management of future disasters.

The PEER Program has been operational in Pakistan since 2006, with NDMA support, providing trainings to

enhance the capacity of professional disaster responders for Medical First Response and Collapsed Structure

Search & Rescue, and Hospital Preparedness for Emergencies (HOPE). For this new phase of PEER,

operational until 2014, CADRE will be rolled out, to supplement the significant capacity building and trainings

already being implemented by the NDMA and other organizations in Pakistan.

Signing of the partnership agreement with NDMA also took place, as well as the identification of focal person

for coordination and communication for HOPE/CADRE.

Key discussions and agreements from the bilateral meeting on HOPE and CADRE were discussed at the

National Committee on Disaster Management in several meetings on 6-7 July 2010.Bilateral meetings followed,

Meeting with key institution involved in the program and discussion of plans, strategies for PEER 3

Implementation. There was a bilateral meeting for HOPE with Pakistan Institute or Medical Sciences (PIMS)

and for CADRE with Pakistan Red Crescent Society.

Please see ANNEX 2 for PEER Communications from Pakistan CPM – including Press Release issued in

coordination with NDMA – which reached Pakistani print news media in Islamabad, and National /

International online news agencies. Please also see PEER website for more on PEER in Pakistan (articles,

news, partner information and pictures etc.)

Bilateral meeting with Pakistan Red Crescent:

Page 4: Implemented by: ADPC Submitted to: USAID Reporting Period ... · I) Activity Outline: PEER Pakistan - Country Planning Mission Dates: 5-9 July 2010 Location: National Committee on

Discussions took place with Director of Pakistan Red Crescent Airforce General retired – Muhammed Ateeb

Siddiqui as well as other members of the training teams. Discussion centered on the following:

Recapping on the letter of commitment from PRCS about PEER which was received before the program

commenced the 3rd

stage, in 2008 this was signed by the Secretary General in 2008

Emphasis that in Pakistan work must be conducted through the NDMA as the coordinating institution

PRCS will comprise the leading participants in CADRE in Pakistan – and perform the role of Lead

Agency.

Lead agency means leading and developing CADRE into and gaining support for CADRE involvement

and adaptation at Chapter and Community level. PRCS will select participants and develop trainers in

line with their current practices, and involve CADRE modules and training – including ToT.

PRCS will link the new aspect of CADRE trainings to existing CBDRR initiatives where existing, at

every level

Where there is already a program in CBDRR running, CADRE materials and modules will be used to

supplement this.

CADRE is only a small part of the many programs running; this is very focused –focused on direct

action to save lives – so it works well to complement existing long-term trainings in first aid etc.

PRCS has a very good relationship with NDMA, since they are affiliated to Government – any

nomination goes first to NDMA. This is a benefit, because there is strong backing from NDMA to

mobilize at provincial and National level, yet the processes at NDMA may cause delays in processing

invitations and information.

Therefore it was suggested that any invitations for trainings, or procedural matters should be processed

as protocol through NDMA, yet at the same time cc‟d to PRCS focal point, which will speed matters, as

soon as the actions are agreed from NDMA.

NDMA will need to be involved in all stages of the training ongoing – e.g. for the first CADRE basic

course, it was suggested that participants should be drawn from within NDMA, as well as PRCS.

The relationship with PRCS and NDMA is such that they are at the same time are equal partners and

collaborators, therefore this mode of cooperative operation will be the most effective.

CADRE will help support the areas of training from PRCS which are currently les strong, and help to

fill some gaps in community training especially in the area of search and rescue.

A CBDRR manual is already developed so there is a need to review this document and guidelines which

are in the pipeline. We can utilize and develop the curriculum guidelines , to potentially develop an

integrated and common manual

There is a concern to avoid „re-inventing‟ CBDRR through CADRE in Pakistan – yet this is at no time

the objective of CADRE. There is a need for CADRE materials to fill some gaps and augment existing

trainings, and training processes which are currently being developed.

For the Pilot testing in Pakistan – the suggestion from Director PRCS is that we invite people involved

in development of the renewed training materials, as well a potential CADRE instructors – and get their

feedback in a course adaptation as part of the basic pilot course.

There is also a willingness to involve some participants from PES1122 (another private, yet highly

structured and important EMS service in Pakistan, also participated in CMP at NDMA) etc – then there

will be the opportunity to review and amend the CADRE materials, ahead of implementing the Pakistan

adapted version, through the lead agency of the PRCS.

There was mutual understanding that CADRE materials are already Regionally contextualized, but there

is a need to collaborate on modifications for National Implementation – and PRCS stated their

commitment to fully support this process at a Pakistan national level

PRCS already have strength in Community based hazard and First Aid. These training materials used

for these aspects were developed through IRCS in Geneva, and are now running training courses in two

districts in Pakistan. CADRE materials can augment this, but mainly the national adaptation for

CADRE in Pakistan will involve the „new‟ elements – which are basic SAR and Mass Casualty

Management

This means that CADRE does not replicate or duplicate existing trainings, but supplements them with

the e focus on light search and rescue etc. In addition, the course is focussed more on practice and less

on theory and classroom learning.

Agreement was reached that there needs to be involvement of the involve fire dept and rescue services,

as well as some level of involvement with other organisations. To this end there is a need to develop and

Page 5: Implemented by: ADPC Submitted to: USAID Reporting Period ... · I) Activity Outline: PEER Pakistan - Country Planning Mission Dates: 5-9 July 2010 Location: National Committee on

identify collaborating organisations, as well as potential pilot communities he which can be provided

with training and response equipment.

Rescue (PES) 1122 are currently being trained from PRCS, so there is good collaboration and

interaction here

Communities are already undertaking some DRR – communities they are already sensitized to the need

of further training and skills.

There was definite agreement that trainers should be located and sourced from PRCS – and led /

developed from here.

There is a need to develop MOU between ADPC and PRCS and NDMA (3-way) for collaboration on

training, equipment and support. The NDMA needs to be „in the loop‟ at all times – as their central

coordinating role – so a tri-partite NDMA / PRCS / ADPC agreement is sought

Following a Pilot Volunteer Emergency Response Training Program in the Provinces, there are

Provincial teams in emergency response in Karachi, Peshawar, Lahore, and Quetta and a few other

cities which are volunteer based.

45 are trained in Karachi, 45 in Peshawar, 20 in Karachi, 20 in Musaffarabad as well as other cities. In

total there are approximately 250 trained between 2008-2010. Currently this is the final year of the pilot

project training. Hence this was considered a good time to integrate CADRE and follow through on the

pilot findings through setting up CADRE Volunteer emergency Responders and Trainers. The learning

should be developed, and this opportunity enhanced and maximised.

After the brief pilot 2008-2010, there is the need to expand to the district level –to plug the gaps –

These branches are capable of First Aid and ER program

CADRE

11) CADRE National Pilot Course – Da Nang, Vietnam 16-19 August 2010

Opening Ceremony- Da Nang Vietnam:

Present: Participants: 24 participants from Vietnam National Red Cross

Participants in the Vietnam CADRE Pilot Course came to Da Nang from the following provinces; Quang Nam,

Hai Phong, Phi Tho, Quang Ngai, Phu Yen, Hue, Quang Ninh, Quang Binh, Thanh Hoa, Thai Binh, Quand Tu,

Nam Dinh, and Nghe An.

The basic Pilot CADRE course gave the knowledge for the participants to be able to take the training into their

own communities. The Pilot Course also functioned as the basic training for the first set of potential instructors

for CADRE. Their involvement in the CADRE Adaptation Workshop following the basic training also means

they have „ownership‟ and a high awareness of the materials. The pilot course was a necessary forerunner to the

ToT training for VRCS representatives – to take the adapted training materials to communities throughout the

country, through the development of CADRE instructors and support from the PEER.

The CADRE course opening ceremony took place on Monday 16 August at the Bien Dong Resort, Tho Quang

Ward, Son Tra District, Da Nang. Distinguished Guests were present at the opening event, including Mr. Doan

Van Thai, Vice President & Secretary, VNRC, Mr. Phan Nhu Ngla, Chairman Da Nang Red Cross, Mr. Brian

Heidel, Regional Advisor USAID Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA), and Ms. Rebecca

Scheurer, Senior Regional Advisor, ARC as well as Dr. Marilyn Go, Team Leader, Public Health in Emergency

Team, ADPC, and Mr. Loy Rego, Chief of Party, PEER and Director ADPC.

Please see ANNEX 2 for PEER Communications from Da Nang CADRE – including Press Release issued

in coordination with VNRC and IFRC in Vietnam – which reached Vietnam print news media and

National / International online news agencies. Please also see PEER website for more on PEER in

Vietnam (articles, news, partner information and many pictures etc.)

Narrative Review and Outcomes

Course coordination was carried out in Da Nang ahead of the beginning of the course. Instructors for the

duration of the course were introduced, as well as finalization of the schedule and time allotment for each lesson

was consolidated, in two days before the arrival of the Participants. Instructors for the Vietnam National Pilot

Course were sourced from the pool of master instructors from the Philippines, since there are currently no

instructors in CADRE in Vietnam, as this is the first course. Subsequent courses will be led / co-facilitated by

VNRC representatives.

Time was allocated to addressing all remaining logistical needs ahead of the commencement of the courses such

as training materials, reference materials and equipment, venue set up, accommodation requirements for

instructors and participants, facilities, transportation of instructors and participants, registration, opening and

closing program. Discussion was undertaken on lesson assignments and practical station assignments.

This CADRE Pilot course was an opportunity for all the participants coming from 15 local chapters, the reps

from the German RC and ARC in country, as well as the VNRC Da Nang and HQ, and Mr. Dao of the

Federation, to closely analyze the learning objectives, all modules, the methodologies and the outcomes of the

Regional Pilot CADRE Materials. This was done through practical experience of the three-day basic course,

followed by a one-day adaptation workshop.

The PEER team at ADPC had previously done baseline work on VNRC materials, and the CADRE

Development Workshop in BKK in January. The advantage of this was that we could anticipate the training

needs which would emerge from the experience of the course. This included review of many materials on

community based training in existence in Vietnam, all community-based and VNRC staff training manuals and

participant‟s booklets, to give a full picture of what is being used or has previously been used.

This supplements the work undertaken with overviewing in-country materials from all PEER RCNS in the

CADRE Course Development Workshop, to understand well as the specific Vietnamese context of community

disaster preparedness, including IFRC strategy guidelines, as well as National documents, directives and plans

from the Ministry of Health, central government plans for the disaster preparedness for people in communes etc.

There is still much baseline work to do here, but collaboratively, the PEER team and our VNRC colleagues are

bringing all this together, and this is a substantive base.

There are many strengths as well as gaps and challenges with the existing trainings on offer. Our hope was that

rather than directing participants by pointing out the any training needs, the participants could experience the

training, and therefore understand fully the gaps and challenges of their existing materials and curriculums. By

this means, the VNRC participants become actively involved in the training, and work collaboratively to

develop the materials to exactly match their needs. The end result, by this methodology, is a total enhancement

of their existing materials - developed in a fully participatory way at the grassroots and national level in-country.

This process was followed in Da Nang, and despite some initial reticence that they were already familiar with

all training aspects, they became sensitized to the additional aspect of CADRE, and became fully convinced that

CADRE will be of great benefit towards meeting the objectives and goals of VNRC. The Vietnam National

CADRE Curriculum Development workshop – for one day after the basic trainings was an opportunity to

analyze the materials and hone them step-by-step for national use.

The outline of these adaptations are summarized in the next section of this report

Summary

The level of engagement from participants and observers in Vietnam National Pilot Course was excellent, and

the group was committed to developing a list of adaptation recommendations, through group discussion. Some

of the additional elements which were entirely new from CADRE included the SAR training, the Fire and Water

safety, the simulation exercises and CSSR aspects. In addition, the general brief and thorough course content

and scheduling , ADPC course organization and training methodologies of CADRE course were praised, and

shown to be a major step forward in VNRC experience of community training.

Another aspect of existing trainings in VNRC - also emerging as a gap and challenge - in that the course

materials which do exist are often developed for the training of RC volunteers, and are to a more professional

Page 7: Implemented by: ADPC Submitted to: USAID Reporting Period ... · I) Activity Outline: PEER Pakistan - Country Planning Mission Dates: 5-9 July 2010 Location: National Committee on

and advanced level. Some of the courses materials are developed but not widely implemented, and not current.

There are obvious gaps in that many of the aspects integral to CADRE are not covered in any current training.

The PEER team in Da Nang had the opportunity to fully discuss all aspects of the CADRE course with Mr. Tao

(IFRC). This was again opportunity in Adaptation Workshop and bilateral discussions throughout this course, to

gain an even better understanding of ways to streamline CADRE into IFRC plans and policy in the

area of disaster response and community training. The PEER team at ADPC has developed our comprehensive

record of IFRC materials in-country, for the purposes of identifying gaps where CADRE can support their

programs.

At the closing ceremony there were strong messages of support and collaboration from Mr. Trang VNRC, Mr.

Nghia Da Nang RC, and Mr. Tao IFRC. They were full of support and endorsement, pointing out that CADRE

is a key link in the chain to help make our communities safer – also stating that the federation can improve

IFRC existing materials and undertake these modules. Mr. Tao also expressed his commitment to exploring the

opportunities of CADRE and integrating it into IFRC national and regional strategies.

The next stage in the CADRE Course Adaptation Strategy will be to work on assimilating comprehensive

learning from Vietnam. Please see a synthesis in brief of some of the workshop outcomes below:

Key Challenges and Next Steps:

In Vietnam the translation of the CADRE materials has been a challenge, and the materials have needed to be re-

ordered and retranslated following the course, since many of the nuances were lost in the original translation. This

process has been aided by the support of the Vietnam ADPC country office. Initial reticence existed about CADRE

from IFRC national representatives in Vietnam, due to concerns about replication and duplication. This has been

overcome following the experiences of observing the course, and the opportunity to discuss the module s and the

full course in detail. Next steps include integrating all the necessary changes in the CADRE curriculum as

developed during the CADRE National Adaptation Workshop.

COURSE:

Hospital Preparedness for Emergencies (HOPE)

Dates: July 12-14 2010

Location: Dustira Hospital Cimahi Jl. Dustira No 1. Cimahi, West Java, Indonesia Participants: 33 Participants were medical professionals, mostly from West Java, with several from Bontang-

Borneo Island and Bangka Belitung-Sumatera Island, which have links with Dustira Hospital.

118 Emergency Ambulance Service Foundation in collaboration with The Indonesian Hospital Association &

Indonesia Surgeons Association with the support of ADPC conducted The Hospital Preparedness for Emergencies

Course in Cimahi, West Java, Indonesia.

The objective of the course is to build capacity for hospital directors & managers, indicating that their

responsibilities are not only medical care buy also hospital functions and systems. HOPE shows how every hospital

must have a hospital disaster plan which is a requirement of hospital accreditation by The Indonesian Ministry of

Health.

Narrative Review and Outcomes:

The Opening ceremony was held by Dr Mustikowati Director General of Medical Services Indonesia Ministry

of Health & Hospital Director of Dustira. The Dustira Hospital was the lead organization to invite participants

from West Java, in coordination with West Java Municipal Health Office.

There was a planning and logistics meeting on11 July 2010 at Aquilla Hotel Bandung to discuss agenda details

and participants. The formats of this course included Class Presentations, Lectures, Group Discussions and

Table Top exercises. Reference materials were provided to participants as supplemental materials including CD,

handout & work book in Bahasa translation.

HOPE Instructors were selected who could contribute various background experiences to enhance this program,

including Hospital Directors & Managers, Emergency & Disaster Experts, Senior Surgeons, Earthquake

Engineer with experience in Disaster Management. The use of established and well known instructors for HOPE

was also an asset. Instructors were highly dedicated and experienced in disaster scenarios. They interacted with

participants during class lectures, answered questions, evaluated activities, and provided feedback.

The other major strength during this HOPE course was the usage of Bahasa as the teaching language, with slides

and materials. This increased efficiency and understanding. HOPE course in Indonesia is accredited by The

Indonesian Doctors Association. Most of participants were enthusiastic and satisfied with the course. However

there were issues with discipline on the time table and time-keeping.

Challenges and learnings:

The distance between the venue and the hotel where the Instructors / Trainers were based was quite far

– leading to lengthy journeys and wasted time.

The size of the class room was ideal for presentations, but more room is needed for exercises.

Page 11: Implemented by: ADPC Submitted to: USAID Reporting Period ... · I) Activity Outline: PEER Pakistan - Country Planning Mission Dates: 5-9 July 2010 Location: National Committee on

The participants asked soft copy of slide materials, which required print out of many PowerPoint

presentations. The Training Materials (books, references) were given to the participants and they said it

was useful.

The coordination between the local committee and the 118 EAS personnel‟s ran smoothly. However,

there were still some challenges with coordination with local committees for faculty members /

participants accommodation.

Timekeeping was a challenge, and start times had to be adjusted to fit with participants‟ requirements.

Hospital Preparedness for Emergencies (HOPE)

Dates: 24-26 September 2010

Location: Jl. Hotel Sulthan, Banda Aceh, Indonesia

Participants: The participants in this course came from the Provincial Health Office and from the 23 hospitals

across the province of Banda Aceh, Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam Province – with MOH inviting 2 people from

each hospital. Most of participants are responsible for developing their respective Hospital Disaster

Preparedness Plans.

For more information on this course, AGD 118 and HOPE in Indonesia, please see PEER Website:

http://www.adpc.net/blog/?tag=indonesia

The Hospital Preparedness for Emergencies (HOPE) course took place in Aceh, helping to prepare local hospital

staff for emergencies and multi-hazard disasters in this notoriously disaster-prone coastal region. The course

took place at the Sulthan Hotel, Banda Aceh, Indonesia from 24-26 September 2010 under the HOPE Partial

Funding Assistance Program (PFAP). The opening ceremony was conducted by Dr A. Yani Head of Municipal

Head Office of Nanggroe Ache Darussalam.

Ambulans Gawat Darurat (AGD) 118 Emergency Ambulance Service Foundation (based Jakarta) took the lead

for this course in facilitation and provision of Instructors, and implementing the course with the coordination

and support of ADPC. Once known as Ambulan 118, AGD 118 was reestablished in 2006 and its operation was

taken over by the Jakarta Health Office. Since its beginning in 1973, AGD 118 remains crucial to community

pre-hospital emergency care. AGD 118 is a longstanding PEER partner in Indonesia.

The lead Focal Agency for HOPE in Indonesia is the Ministry of Health Republic of Indonesia (Kementarian

Kesehatan Republik Indonesia); Official endorsement also came from the Indonesian Hospital Association and

Indonesian Surgeons Association. The HOPE course has been adopted by the Indonesian Ministry of Health,

Indonesia Hospital Association and Indonesia Surgeons Association. MHO of Aceh functions as key lead

organization and invited participants from throughout Aceh. The Indonesian –adapted HOPE curriculum is the

Indonesian National HOPE course, adapted from the Asia Regional HOPE course.

A planning meeting was held for Instructors on 23 September 2010 at Sate Restaurant, Banda Aceh to discuss

agenda details and participants‟ requirements as well as normal procedural and scheduling matters as well as

logistics, coordination, presentations and communications.

The course was funded under PEER, with co-funding under the Partial Assistance Funding (PFAP - Partial

Funding Assistance Program for HOPE) coming from B Braun Medical Company & TAG International

Development UK.

Co-funder B Braun is a Pharmaceutical International Corporation and multinational medical company, one of

the world´s leading healthcare corporations. B. Braun manufactures and distributes pharmaceuticals on a global

basis, employing more than 38,000 people worldwide. B. Braun supported the provision of the training kits such

as bags and notes books, pen, etc from the Pharmaceutical Division, given to support the training program. They

have also expressed interest in potentially supporting HOPE courses in other PEER countries where funding is

being sought to train hospital staff in vulnerable districts.

TAG Development International is a UK-based NGO supported primarily by the UK-based Jewish community.

UK-based TAG ID are also willing to support future HOPE courses in Indonesia, and other potential areas of

need are Padang, Bali and the provinces of East Indonesia which includes the conflict-affected area of Papua.

TAG ID have also indicated they may be interested in partial assistance funding for supporting HOPE courses in

Bangladesh and Pakistan.

This course was conducted in Bahasa Indonesia language. The participants were very active in every exercise

and activity. The participants were divided into 3 groups for daily presentations, representing the lessons learned

in the day before, every morning before the class began. In the Evacuation Exercise, there were 3 groups who

had different emergency and disaster scenario cases: fire, flood and earthquake affecting the hospital. There

were 2 groups for the final tabletop exercise dealing with mass casualties. The first scenario was an aircraft

accident inside the airport and the other is outside the airport. In particular for this exercise, the plans developed

should be 2-parts; pre-hospital phase and hospital phase. In the pre-hospital phase they must describe their

coordination with the rescue teams and security which are in charge at the airport, the Fire Services, and also the

other hospitals around the site. The point in this exercise is to hone skills in Management Support & Medical

Support. Most of the Hospital Directors/Managers are not experienced in planning for Management Support to

deal with Mass Casualties.

Review and Outcomes:

Full support was forthcoming from MHO of Aceh and the opening ceremony was conducted by Head of MHO.

Bahasa was used in all training including slides and materials.

The Head of MOH Aceh is very supportive of enhancing Hospital preparedness and disaster preparedness

systems and working towards the provision of an Integrated Emergency Medical Services System (IEMSS)

alongside‟ The Safe Community Program‟ running in Banda Aceh. The PEER / 118 team had several meeting

with him and his staff to discuss further about this program and integration with ongoing priorities and

programs. Significantly, agreement was made to have CADRE program as part of PEER Program in Banda

Aceh – targeting ambulance drivers, Scouts and Palang Merah Indonesia (PMI) Volunteers soon this year. This

is a major step forward in the integrated approach of safer communities under PEER.

Issues / Challenges The discipline of the participants was a major factor on this course. In Aceh they normally start the activities at

9 am, and they were reluctant to change this principle and begin earlier. In additional courses, it would be better

to schedule for a 9am start until 6pm.

Hospital Preparedness for Emergencies (HOPE)

Dates: 14-17 September 2010

Location: Park Village Resort Hotel, Budhanilkantha, Kathmandu, Nepal Participants: 24 participants from Kathmandu Valley Hospitals, 1 participant from NSET, Pradeep

Vaidya, Dept. of Surgery, Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH), Chairman, HOPE TUTH

Committee, (Coordinator and Focal Point for HOPE Nepal), Mr John Abo, DCOP PEER / ADPC

Review and outcomes:

The first HOPE Course in Nepal was held in Kathmandu partnership with Institute of Medicine and WHO

Country Office in Nepal. The course took place in Nepal from 14-17 September 2010 - attended by 24 students

from different hospitals in and around Kathmandu and one from NSET, Kathmandu.

Of these 24 students, 16 were women – which is almost 70%. This is a significant achievement for HOPE under

PEER requirements and indicators for targeting women trainees and training up women instructors for PEER.

WHO and Institute of Medicine provided the majority of the funds to conduct the course, with PEER providing

support with instructors and course components.

The opening ceremony was conducted on the first day. The Secretary of Ministry of Health and Population, was

the chief guest and there were guests from Joint Secretary of MOHP, representative from EDPC, WHO, ADPC,

Page 13: Implemented by: ADPC Submitted to: USAID Reporting Period ... · I) Activity Outline: PEER Pakistan - Country Planning Mission Dates: 5-9 July 2010 Location: National Committee on

and NSET. The Secretary promised to put HOPE course in the MOHP budget, which would increase capacity to

conduct HOPE regularly.

Preparation for the HOPE Course in Kathmandu started more than a month ahead, including fixing of the venue

according to the HOPE standards. This hotel is suitable as it is not too far in case of any emergencies back in

participants‟ hospitals, and it is not too near the city that the participants might absent themselves from some

modules.

Selecting Instructors and obtaining consent was a challenge. Most HOPE instructors are very busy people with

high posts. Committing time to training can be very difficult. Six full instructors and two assistant instructors

were chosen and they all gave their consent.

Among the six instructors, one was an engineer and the other a nurse, 4 were doctors. The two assistant

instructors were both doctors. One instructor was also a monitor for the course, instructors and participants and

ensure adherence to the HOPE / PEER international standards. One instructor acted as a coordinator and all the

other had various duties beside their primary job of presenting / instructing modules.

Participant selection involved identifying institutions and requesting for participants. Twenty-four participants

joined from 13 different institutions. Most of them are the Hospital Policy Makers as per HOPE Guidelines,

with the following participants: -3 Assist Matron, 1 – Medical Director, 1 – Deputy Director, Senior

Supervisors, etc. There were 16 females and 8 males.

This course was unique because this time we also had two participants from the Tribhuvan International Airport

(Kathmandu‟s only international airport). One was the deputy director of the medical assistance team of the

airport. Also in attendance were senior staff from the Specialism Hospitals like the Neurological Center. This to

bring awareness for disaster preparedness to these Specialism Clinics and Hospitals.

John Abo, Deputy Chief or Party from ADPC, was invited to observe the course as representing the agency

implementing and conducting the HOPE course in the nine PEER countries.

The course went well. Evaluation included pre-testing, which showed low-awareness scores. The post-test

indicated much higher awareness. All the participants actively participated and commented on the accessibility

and team work of the instructors.

After each day the instructors met for more than one hour to review the day‟s training, the participants‟

feedback and plan tomorrow‟s program. An exercise was given as a homework on the third day, in which all the

participants had to work into the night. The instructors were also there to guide and support them.

On completion of modules and lectures, there was a simulated disaster drill. This was not „planned‟ in the

agenda, so the participants had to immediately prepare to respond. This helped them recall and review all the

knowledge they had acquired. Immediately after the completion of the course, the instructors had a meeting and

reviewed the day‟s program and also chose the likely candidate for future instructors who could be invited for

Training for Instructors.

Outcomes of the HOPE Course Kathmandu:

Training 24 participants in Disaster Management

Awareness to develop the Hospital Disaster Plan and conduct Drills / Simulations

Networking between Kathmandu Hospitals and other EMS services, including the Airport Medical

Assistance Team

Commitment from MOHP to put HOPE course in the budget

Page 14: Implemented by: ADPC Submitted to: USAID Reporting Period ... · I) Activity Outline: PEER Pakistan - Country Planning Mission Dates: 5-9 July 2010 Location: National Committee on

Commitment from WHO to help conduct more courses with ADPC coordination

Selection of Candidates as future Nepal HOPE Instructors

Participants in HOPE Nepal gained an understanding of multi-hazard disaster risk management and

preparedness, as well as hazard analysis, patterns of injury, structural and non-structural components, mass

casualty management, epidemics and infections, triage, risk communication, Preparedness Planning, Incident

Command Systems, amongst other key areas. Participants were encouraged to complete a Hospital Preparedness

Plan for their medical facility, covering multi-hazard components, involving pre-disaster, -during and post-

disaster phase. The practical and applied methods of training mean that everyone actively participates in their

learning. This is always a successful and engaging aspect of HOPE.

HOPE has received major commitment in Nepal, with the support of the coordinator Dr Pradeep Vaidya. There

has been allocation made and logistics are being put in place for 10 HOPE courses under PFAP for Nepal

(2010-2014) and support for developing Model Health Facilities - one from each (National, provisional and

district) - depending on the specific hospital that will be recommended following a review process.

Other matters ongoing involving coordination on the HOPE training roll-out in Nepal include developing

more successful case studies for HOPE, developing analysis framework for training implementation and

impact, dissemination of smaller scale training and format approaches in hospital e.g. simple adaptations to

the wider curriculum.

In the context of Nepal, there is a need to consider some incentives to attend trainings and hold simulations

etc. This is being reviewed. There is also necessity to find further funding streams for Promoting a

Hospital Emergency Incident Command Systems, and gain support for Developing „Model Hospitals, as

well as metropolitan and provincial plans to disseminate the triage system throughout Nepal

Dr Vaidya and the PEER team are looking at ways to undertake the process of setting up workshops for

hospitals to review their emergency plans, and looking into forming processes for standardisation and

monitoring for plans / drills / simulations with accreditation. There needs to be a framework and calendar

for periodic review of plans, with standardised external observers. Another consideration is the

development of a national HOPE committee / membership organisation, and the options to become

involved with existing conventions and conferences. In terms of PFAP, ADPC / Dr Vaidya are looking at

options for Pharmaceutical funding, which could lead into the possible development of a sponsored HOPE

conference in Nepal

III. PROGRESS OF THE PROGRAM FOR THIS REPORTING PERIOD

MEDIA PRESS RELEASES

1. Program schedule: Planned vs. actual achievements Activities for this reporting period are in line with the Annual Work Plans.

Please see Annex 1 for financial reporting.

2. Current Accomplishments and Challenges:

PEER team will highlight the significant accomplishments and challenges of this Reporting Quarter – followed

by the matrix of accomplishments / challenges country-by-country.

Accomplishments:

1) Liaison with IFRC regarding uptake of CADRE in RC/RCNS:

Successful meetings were held during this Reporting Quarter, with Patrick Fox IFRC Head of DM Unit, SEA, and

Michael Annear IFRC Asia Pacific Head of Disaster Management Unit, led by Mr. Loy Rego with Mr. John Abo

Page 15: Implemented by: ADPC Submitted to: USAID Reporting Period ... · I) Activity Outline: PEER Pakistan - Country Planning Mission Dates: 5-9 July 2010 Location: National Committee on

and the PEER Team. These meetings happened with full support and facilitation of ARC (Ms Rebecca Scheurer_

who continues to partner with us supportively on building the CADRE network.

PEER team met with Michael Annear, to discuss PEER.

The meetings were aimed at addressing challenges for PEER, including discussion of different countries‟ CBDRR

initiatives, and the need for in-country adaptation of CADRE and module adaptation. These challenges are being

taken into account by PEER team. CADRE Development Process was also discussed and communicated to facilitate

understanding. Please see ANNEX 1 for CADRE Development Process Chart.

This meeting followed on from other opportunities which have previously been taken to build the awareness of

CADRE and the potential for integration and collaboration with existing or long-standing international and national

programs with IFRC:

The PEER team also met with Nguyen Hung Ha, Programme Manager DIPECHO DRR, and Mr. John Roche

Regional Disaster Management Coordinator. They expressed their support in the curriculum development and

agreed that there are gaps and inconsistencies regionally in the current RCNC modules – which CADRE can help.

IFRC delegates were invited to the CADRE Curriculum Development Workshop in BKK Jan 2010. Mr.

Selvaratnam Sunnadurai – IFRC Country Rep. Philippines was present for opening day of Regional Pilot Workshop

in Manila, March 2010 – also present for full duration of the Workshop were Andrea Tracy, Regional Advisor,

USAID, OFDA, and Ramsey A. Rayyis Regional Rep, ARC.

Considerable effort has been ongoing this Quarter to fully inform IFRC Senior Personnel about CADRE

and the main goals and objectives of the program – which essentially are to be inclusive and involve NRCS

in all aspects. As well as inviting IFRC representatives to the CADRE course in Da Nang, and involving

IFRC in the course adaptation workshop,

The following key aspects were addressed in particular during meetings this Quarter with Patrick Fox and

Michael Annear:

Strengthening Collaboration

Throughout the past year in developing community response capacity, our foremost objective remains to „add

value‟ through partnership and collaboration, to trainings already taking place through Red Cross National

Societies (RCNS), and other organizations – in each PEER country. PEER is a program to „enhance response

capacity‟; it does not seek to replace or substitute ongoing processes. The goal is to support and contribute to the

extensive and valuable trainings offered through the vast outreach and experience of Red Cross National

Societies, and work with them. ADPC recognizes the need to continually seek better involvement and closer

collaboration. The program receives constant mentoring and strong support at every level from ARC, regionally

and in the US.

ARC are involved in all aspects of CADRE planning and institutionalization, and at every level have supported

the introduction f CADRE to National Societies, and elicited backing from IFRC – knowing the benefits of

Federation support.

PEER team at ADPC welcome all support IFRC can bring to this process. During this reporting quarter, the

team also welcomed Patrick Fox to visit the ADPC office in October, where the team was able for focus on

PEER / CADRE in very positive and proactive discussions, where Patrick Fox gave his backing and support.

ADPC-PEER Team Partnership Approach

ADPC-PEER team aims to be instrumental in the process of developing community-based response capacity

through enhancing training modules, which meet the exact requirements in each PEER country. This is an

ongoing process of consultation and requires flexibility and careful consideration. CADRE can be a very useful

tool for the systematic development of community-training enhancements for disaster response, and this is our

objective. IFRC representative‟s engagement can further assist with the analysis and alignment of training

requirements in each PEER country.

Page 16: Implemented by: ADPC Submitted to: USAID Reporting Period ... · I) Activity Outline: PEER Pakistan - Country Planning Mission Dates: 5-9 July 2010 Location: National Committee on

ADPC will continue to consult with ICRC representatives, particularly in regards to the dead body management

component in various countries for PEER – as this issue is particularly culturally, legally and socially diverse

within Asian country contexts. ADPC will continue to specifically invite IFRC personnel to attend the trainings

and scheduled activities, and the PEER team are sending an open invitation for IFRC to all workshops and

trainings / adaptation and development meetings. Full details of all upcoming activities are on PEER website,

and we have a monthly e-newsletter which also indicates our upcoming activities.

We are in total agreement that there is the opportunity here for RCNS to develop community-focused response

capacity. It is also a chance for RCRC to work towards standardizing approaches, guides and training in the

Asia region and it is our objective to undertake this in a participatory way

2) Collaboration with NSET:

ADPC and NSET as collaborating partners implementing PEER are working together in several key aspects.

These include:

i) PEER Database and information gathering

ii) PEER Instructor development

iii) Partnership building

i) The PEER Database:

An accurate, comprehensive and up-to-date PEER Database co-managed and co-owned by NSET and ADPC as

an example of organizational collaboration in PEER 3, will ensure that ADPC and NSET can effectively

oversee and coordinate all program processes for PEER Stage 3, as well as evaluate and monitor the Program

effectively with key statistics and data. The PEER 1-3 database provides the basis for the following PEER

activities which are ongoing and forthcoming:

Accurate information gathering and dissemination

Locating opportunities for networking and collaboration

Evaluating PEER trainings and trainees

Communicating with PEER trainees

Maintaining PEER trainees‟ skills

All process of Monitoring and Evaluating PEER Stage 3

PEER Database –Background:

A PEER database with information from PEER 1 and 2 is currently hosted by NSET, with full cooperation and

collaboration with ADPC. During 1AWP, PEER team worked on the basis for collaboration on the database. An

MOU is being developed (at time of writing 2AWP) which will fully agree the sharing of all PEER information

and data, and outline the processes of working together with NSET on all updating, amending and training

related to the database and its use.

The database contains the following PEER information:

Data on PEER trained individuals and PEER associated organisations; includes name, title, country,

agency/organisation/etc, mobile number, email address, address (often organisation) - in most cases

On the database it is possible to search via the following options: course, person, country, nodal agency,

partner agency, dates, region, address, funding (full / national / self) etc.

Different security settings are possible with the database, with different levels of user access granted to:

delete / add / update / view

Database Management:

The database information will from this Quarter onwards be shared on a 2-agency basis (NSET and

ADPC), ADPC PEER Team with ADPC taking the lead on CADRE and HOPE activities in 6

countries and NSET maintaining the information related to their projects alone

Amends are being undertaken during this reporting quarter, on the amends needed to the PEER database

in order to make it usable for PEER 3. These will be finalised in December 2010.

o Addition of three more countries for PEER 3:

Page 17: Implemented by: ADPC Submitted to: USAID Reporting Period ... · I) Activity Outline: PEER Pakistan - Country Planning Mission Dates: 5-9 July 2010 Location: National Committee on

o Addition of an „alert feature‟ to indicate when a course graduate is coming up for a refresher

course (three-years on from initial course)

o Additional information on CADRE course development – database fields required for CADRE

as well as HOPE to make the database comprehensive for PEER 3

o Increased ability to search accurately by city or local region – with the benefit that in the event

of a disaster / emergency, it would be possible to identify which trainees

/communities/organisations may be involved or impacted

Database Training:

Maintaining and updating the PEER Database requires the close participation of ADPC and NSET to plan and

manage the trainings, as well as PEER Country Coordinators, Trainers [as appropriate] and the PEER Teams.

PEER Instructor development:

Instructor development and maintenance and renewal is a key aspect of PEER which relies on ADPC and NSET

working closely together to maximize all the work of PEER in developing Instructors. The process for all PEER

courses is the same; with basic course, followed by TFI and Instructors course, after which there is a process of

mentoring and development before a Trainer can lead a course. The PEER instructors are valuable commodities,

and both ADPC and NSET draw on this pool of qualified instructors to train new participants. For CADRE,

instructors also utilized by NSET for CSSR and MFR are utilized to train in more basic skills in the CADRE

course. This means that they are very highly skilled in these areas, but also benefit from being able to translate

their training skills and adapt to the new training.

Therefore there is a strong need for inter-agency collaboration of ADPC and NSET to ensure these instructors

are kept within PEER network, and receive appropriate support and development. In the period of this report, an

Instructor review Workshop for CSSR and MFR is planned for July 2010 in Bangkok – in which CADRE TM

and the PEER team from ADPC will be involved. Several of the instructors to take part in this. Some of the

instructors work in country of origin, but where necessary (such as where there are no local or national

Instructors yet trained) these instructors can also be deployed regionally, to lead and support CADRE trainings.

For example, Instructors from the Philippines will be deployed in Vietnam to lead and support trainings, until

Vietnam has instructors developed nationally.

Partnership building:

ADPC and NSET also work closely together on many aspects of Partnership Development and Networking.

CADRE, MFR and CSSR may use the same national partners for implementing courses. Similarly, ADPC and

NSET have worked together with all national partners at several Country Planning Meetings for PEER 3. An

example is in Indonesia, where both ADPC and NSET work with the emergency responders at Ambulan 118,

for CSSR, MFR, and CADRE. In Pakistan also there are many examples of national partners which have shared

work with NSET and ADPC. The maintenance of the accurate and up-to-date database for ADPC and NSET of

all PEER partners, instructors, stakeholders, participants and collaborations is necessary in order to avoid

duplication of effort, and to maximize resources at the ground level. Wherever possible and appropriate, ADPC

and NSET coordinate on in-country meetings and training activities, to maximize efforts, and share information.

It is also important to note that ADPC and NSET also are collaborating intensively surrounding CADRE

implementation in Nepal. NSET already has a community-based response initiative called Pre-Position

Emergency Rescue Stores (P-PERS). This important initiative from NSET involves positioning of emergency

light search and rescue stores at key points around the Kathmandu Valley, where they can be immediately

utilized in the event of a disaster or emergency.

ADPC and NSET are working in collaboration on CADRE and P-PERS, by training 2 members of the P-PERS

organizational team from NSET in the forthcoming CADRE basic course – thereby maximizing the

opportunities of the CADRE training, bringing in further resources, and providing the opportunity for CADRE

to be taken up by NSET in their own training of community responders in the usage of these key equipment

stores.

Next steps to address challenges:

Page 18: Implemented by: ADPC Submitted to: USAID Reporting Period ... · I) Activity Outline: PEER Pakistan - Country Planning Mission Dates: 5-9 July 2010 Location: National Committee on

Priorities for the nest reporting quarter include increasing collaboration with NSET in these program

management, information resourcing, and program implementation aspects. In addition there will be ongoing

work to promote ownership of CADRE in RCNS, as well as at the same time opening CADRE participation up

to other organizations to widen the outreach and promote increasing institutionalization of CADRE in-country.

Strategies are being considered for maintaining the clear RCNS ownership and involvement, whilst also

allowing materials to be utilized outside RCNS, include adherence to strong branding (use of RCNS and ARC

logo on materials for wider use), utilizing RCNS personnel as monitor and instructors (where possible /

appropriate), and the involvement of RCNS volunteers in the courses conducted by other agencies (where

possible / appropriate).

All these matters need to be broadly discussed in the process of the next quarter. Key factors for discussion on

this issue, are; maintaining accurate and appropriate Acknowledgements on all curriculum materials, setting

guidelines in place for use, reserving the right to audit and monitor courses for PEER standards and other safety

and security standards and keeping informed of all activities other organizations are involved in the PEER.

There is a growing demand and interest on CADRE in all PEER countries, from various partners and

collaborative organizations, for increasing involvement and sense of ownership. This is a great achievement for

the awareness raises being done about CADRE, and the strength of the materials and the concept of community

capacity building through the three-day course. But this enthusiasm and demand for involvement also brings

increasing challenges. These need to be planned for and addressed during the forthcoming reporting quarter,

In order to meet the growing demands, there may be an increasing need for further resources for CADRE –

which may include staff and funds. These developmental aspect s of the program are being broached in

discussions with ARC, by providing a list of potential valuable areas for program expansion, in the event of the

necessary funding becoming available. ADPC is also planning to engage our staff to be trained as CADRE

instructors to augment the current manpower of PEER.

Summary of PEER country-by-country accomplishments and challenges for this quarter (July-Sept 2010)

Accomplishments Challenges

Bangladesh The Bangladesh Fire Service was tasked by

MOFDM to initiate a training program for

Community Volunteers with an expected 62,000

participants potentially taking part.

ADPC office in Bangladesh are fully briefed and

supportive to the PEER program in Bangladesh,

with translation of materials, logistics, country

coordinators etc

Planning continues for CADRE National Pilot

Course in Dhaka in November or December 2010

PEER team is following up on all partner

agreement details with Deputy Secretary Sadeque

of MoFDM and BRCS.

CADRE training materials were used in conducting

community emergency response training in

Logistical issues are difficult to manage

in Bangladesh. The PEER team are

supporting BRCS to plan CADRE –

although finding suitable locations /

venues for trainings, and the lack of

existing clear emergency processes on

which to develop are causing delays.

The CADRE course requires plenty of

space for break-outs and activities, as

well as a safe, secure environment for

all participants and activities.

There needs to be access to caches of

equipment, reliable power supply,

catering facilities etc.

Ongoing discussions being held over the

specific needs of Bangladesh for

Jamalpur, Bangladesh under the PROMISE Project

funded by USAID

CADRE training materials are being utilized in a

new set of Training of Trainers modules being

developed by ADPC – here the three-day basic

CADRE course will be incorporated into an

extended course to be rolled out in Bangladesh

Initial discussion with NIPSOM Director initiated

together with the assistance of Dr. Zahidur Rahman

in continuing NIPSOM as the implementing

institution of HOPE in Bangladesh under the partial

funding assistance program.

CADRE training processes with all

stakeholders. Planning for venue of

training and equipment needs has been

difficult:

Initially the BRCS seemed to reject the

training venue of the Bangladesh Fire

Service and Civil Defense – in favor of

their own chosen training location.

There needs to be some clarity about

whether the BRCS is unwilling to

utilize this better equipped and more

conducive training venue, whether they

are unable to operate here, or whether

they want to use their own facilities.

This could be a communications

problem, or a lack of cooperation

between BRCS and Fire Service. This is

still unclear – but the PEER team is

working towards finding a suitable

training venue.

There have been challenges in getting

the MOU signed by the BRCS. The key

contact at BRCS has now been re-

assigned to Pakistan for response

purposes. This has proved a set-back in

supporting PEER / CADRE at BRCS.

Currently NIPSOM has difficulty

securing counterpart resources to

implement HOPE under PFAP.

The priority of HOPE is to conduct

HOPE-TFI to address the attrition rate

of HOPE instructors in the country.

Cambodia The ADPC country office can offer ongoing

support to PEER.

Translation of training package to Khmer is

completed – with the support of ADPC office in

Cambodia.

Review and scoping of CRC available course

materials in Disaster response. There is nothing

specifically in CRC for training community

members.

HOPE National Pilot Course is scheduled on 20-23

December followed by an adaptation Workshop on

24 December. Preparation is in collaboration with

Preventive Medicine Department of MOH

Cambodia

Currently CRCS does not have any

training related to SAR and MCI in

which CADRE can contribute

There are challenges locating suitable

premises for conducting CADRE

courses in Cambodia, with logistical

and equipment supply challenges.

PEER team looking into possibilities of

locating a centralized training for

instructors in CADRE in Bangkok for

Cambodia, Laos PDR and Vietnam

(where previously there was no PEER

prior to 2009). This will involve more

expense upfront – but may be necessary

to commence the training program here.

Ambulan 118, in Banda Aceh – successfully

undertaken and full report in this QR as well as on

PEER website

Acting COP and CADRE Training Manager visited

Indonesia 27 -30 June, to reaffirm the commitment

of PMI to CADRE.

BNPB renewed their commitment to helping out

disaster preparedness and response associated with

the PEER program.

Visited new head DM dept Pak Arifin – gained

commitment to PEER

Discussed SATGANA – new community based DR

project (CBDRR)– and links/gaps with CADRE

New contact for PEER / CADRE developed within

PMI is: Mr. Arifin, DM Dept., as focal point.

Relationship established with Sec Gen. Mr. Budi

Atmadi Adiputro

Translation of materials planned for after the

National Pilot Course in end 2010 – this will come

after the pilot course - the translation will be

needed subsequently when the CADRE course

extends to community level.

Four potential instructors are already identified

from Basarnas, Ambulan 118 and PMI.

During national adaptation – possibility discussed

of renaming CADRE as part of national adaptation

– to give PMI a sense of ownership – this is

welcomed in the strategy of CADRE

implementation.

Secretary General Mr. Iyang Sukandar

of PMI initially showed full support to

CADRE and originally designated Mr.

Ujang Dede Lesmana, a PEER graduate,

to be the focal person for CADRE.

(subsequently resigned)

There have been some procedural

coordination issues during emergency

response identified; the military are

being prioritized during deployment to

disaster area, despite their lack of

training in Collapsed Structure Search

and Rescue during Padang Response.

By contrast, Ambulan 118 staff is

trained and ready to provide CSSR, but

they can be sidelined by the army. This

may be a challenge to overcome when

working to institutionalize PEER.

Change in PMI leadership (Secretary

General Iyang Sukandar resignation)

and subsequent resignation of Dr. Dede

Lesmana from PMI who was initially

appointed the focal person of PEER in

PMI

This has led to coordination and

continuity problems for PEER in

Indonesia. Re-introduction of PEER to

key personnel within PMI needed -

including new Sec.Gen

Equipment quality and supply is

problematic. PEER team are working to

obtain training and response equipments

from Bangkok and the US – since the

equipment if often cheaper here. PEER

tem are working out the best way with

ARC to transfer equipment and tools.

There is a change in the leadership in

the Department of Medical Services

with MOH Indonesia. Needs to

advocate HOPE so as to ensure

continuous support.

Laos PDR Links made with Ministry of Labor and Social

Welfare

Research conducted on the DRR and CBDRR

activities currently taking place in Laos PDR.

Need to avoid complexity and

streamline the process is to avoid the

scenario where several different first

responder trainings are implemented in

communities by NGOs. This would lead

The need for simple but effective tools was agreed

upon, such as the usefulness of loudspeakers in the

villages.

Streamlining the process of PEER in Laos was a

key factor in the meeting with Laos Red Cross.

Procedural agreement that if CBFA is already

widely taught in the country, CADRE can make

this as a pre requisite for participants. This will

utilize existing certification by national RCS.

Lao Red Cross Society participated in the

curriculum development workshop for CADRE

Dr. Bountheng will be the main focal person of

LRCS for CADRE with Mr. Bounyong, DMA staff

Press Release – For Immediate Release 17 August 2010

SUPPORT FOR COMMUNITIES IN VIETNAM TO RESPOND TO DISASTERS

Community-level disaster responders readily available in the event of a disaster or emergency – that‟s the

vision of a new Community Action for Disaster Response course (CADRE), being trialed in Da Nang, Vietnam

16-18 August 2010.

PRESS, BROADCAST AND ONLINE MEDIA ARE INVITED TO ATTEND THIS EVENT ON

WEDNESDAY 18 AUGUST 2010, TO VIEW A MULTI-HAZARD DISASTER RESPONSE SCENARIO

EXERCISE FOR REPORTING PURPOSES

Vietnam is highly prone to floods and other natural disasters, which impact directly at the provincial and local

level. Communities here are often on their own, without outside assistance, immediately after a disaster. The

three-day CADRE training aims to skill-up community members in Vietnam, to effectively respond to floods,

landslides, typhoons, other disastrous events. During this trial course, the key elements which are vital to

community needs in Vietnam will be identified. The purpose is to enhance community level disaster response

training from the Vietnam National Red Cross (VNRC) and other NGOs and community-based associations.

Support for this training is coming from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and

American Red Cross (ARC). Participants in CADRE learn the basics of medical first response, and collapsed

structure search and rescue, through practical exercises and disaster simulations. By the end of the course, they

are able to assess hazards, manage mass casualties, rescue people trapped under collapsed buildings, and

conduct water rescue for victims of flooding.

The CADRE course in Vietnam received strong support from senior officials at the opening ceremony on

Monday, 16 August at the Bien Dong Resort, Tho Quang Ward, Son Tra District, Da Nang.

Mr. Doan Van Thai, Vice President & Secretary, Vietnam National Red Cross (VNRC) said: “CADRE is a

special course, which will enhance the disaster response work of VNRC. This is also an opportunity to share the

skills and knowledge of VNRC with our international supporters. We come here for the benefit of all our

communities, to share these vital skills across Vietnam.”

Mr. Phan Nhu Ngla, Chairman Da Nang Red Cross said: “We are very happy to welcome CADRE here in

Vietnam, to enhance community response capacity in this extremely disaster-propone area of Vietnam. We are

working hard with many community groups to enhance disaster response. This is appreciated by local people

and local government.”

Mr. Brian Heidel, Regional Advisor, USAID Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA) said:

“USAID-OFDA thanks VNRC and ADPC for coordinating this important community based training. This

partnership brings together people in localities, and in regional disaster management, to take on the challenges

of disasters here. The response to Hurricane Ketsana showed great advances in disaster preparedness and

management in Vietnam. We are now committed to building this experience.”

Ms. Rebecca Scheurer, Senior Regional Advisor, ARC said: “VNRC has been working for many years to

make communities safer and ARC is a strong supporter of these activities within the Red Cross Movement. This

is an opportunity to enhance their capacity to develop first responders, working to save lives when disasters

occur.”

Dr. Marilyn Go, Team Leader, Public Health in Emergency Team, ADPC said: “ADPC is proud to work in

partnership with ARC, USAID and VNRC, with the ultimate goal that every community can effectively respond

to disasters. Immediately after a disaster, communities are often on their own – this is an opportunity to prepare

to respond!”

Mr. Loy Rego, Chief of Party, PEER and Director ADPC said: “We work in partnership with Governments

in Asia and ten Red Cross National Societies, enhancing capacity to prepare for disasters. This is a long-term

US-Asia collaboration, with the strong support of the American people and the American Government. We wish

all participants success in their preparedness efforts.”

Societies, the German Red Cross, and American Red Cross (ARC), to support the process of building

community level capacity. Course instructors are from the Philippine Bureau of Fire Protection and the

Philippine Red Cross, with many years of experience in Medical First Response, Community Search and Rescue

and Disaster Management. Training is coordinated by the Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC), as part

of the Program for Enhancement of Emergency Response (PEER) a regional training program initiated in 1998

by the U.S. Agency for International Development‟s, Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance

(USAID/OFDA) strengthening disaster response capacities in nine countries in Asia.

ADPC: Established in 1986 at the initiatives of three UN agencies – WMO, UNDP and UNOCHA,

ADPC supports the advancement of safer communities and sustainable development, through

implementing programs and projects that reduce the impact of disasters upon countries and

communities in Asia and the Pacific. With more than 100 staffs from 20 different countries, ADPC‟s

activities cover four thematic areas: Climate Risk Management (CRM), Disaster Management System

(DMS), Public Health in Emergencies (PHE), and Urban Disaster Risk Management (UDRM). ADPC

also provides 20 regional training courses.

Prime Minister’s Secretariat, Islamabad: The management of disasters and emergencies in Pakistan was

enhanced today, as the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), Pakistan, hosted a gathering

of International organizations, Government Departments, Civil Society Organizations, NGOs,

Emergency Services and other agencies working in Disaster Preparedness and Management. This was an

opportunity to share experience from Pakistan and plan for better management of future disasters.

The meeting was the launch event for a new phase in the Program for Enhancement of Emergency Response

(PEER); an Asia-wide regional program, operational in nine countries and funded by United States Agency for

International Development (USAID), with supplemental support from American Red Cross (ARC).

Present at the event were representatives from NDMA, USAID –OFDA, Pakistan Red Crescent National

Society, Pakistan Institute of Medical Science (PIMS), Pakistan Emergency Services (PES) 1122, Asian

Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC) Bangkok, Thailand, and the National Society for Earthquake Technology,

Nepal (NSET) amongst other organizations leading the field of Disaster Management, Preparedness and

Response.

The PEER Program has been operational in Pakistan since 2006, with NDMA support, providing trainings to

enhance the capacity of professional disaster responders for Medical First Response and Collapsed Structure

Search & Rescue, and Hospital Preparedness for Emergencies (HOPE). For this new phase of PEER,

operational until 2014, a new training course will be rolled out, to supplement the significant capacity building

and trainings already being implemented by the NDMA and other organizations in Pakistan.

The new course is the Community Action for Disaster Response (CADRE), which will consolidate and enhance

community level response capabilities, so they are enabled to support themselves, and increase survival rates in

the event of any disaster or hazard. The PEER program in Pakistan received support and endorsement from

Ministers, Officials and representatives from NDMA, USAID-OFDA, ADPC, NSET and other keynote

speakers.

Lt. General Nadeem Ahmed R, Chairman of NDMA welcomed all representatives. He said: “The PEER

program is of crucial importance to Pakistan. After the devastating earthquake in 2005, we were at a loss how to

respond. Now, the Government of Pakistan has stepped up capacity to strengthen the response mechanisms

throughout Pakistan, by building capacity at many levels of disaster preparedness and management. We are now

working proactively with programs like PEER to better prepare, when before we could only respond after

disaster happened. We still need to enhance all levels of preparedness, especially in communities. We also need

to work on collaboration between different Disaster Preparedness and Response agencies to make the Disaster

Preparedness system more robust.”

Representatives from the two PEER implementing organizations – ADPC and NSET - working in partnership

on PEER with the backing of the NDMA – also introduced PEER. Mr. Amod Dixit, Director of NSET and

COP for PEER said: “We work to optimize the effect of PEER and promote collaboration, building a stronger

and more sustainable PEER Program.” Mr. NMSE Arambepola, Director, ADPC, said; “ADPC is committed

to promoting disaster preparedness in Pakistan. We have longstanding Programs here and Pakistan has

important experiences in disaster management to share with the Asia region.”

Mr. William Berger, Senior Regional Advisor, USAID-OFDA said; “It is a privilege to work with valued

partners in Pakistan, to support the building of capacity in disaster response. PEER uses best practice learning

methodologies, with the highest standards of training and instructor development. PEER fits well into the big

picture of Disaster Management in Pakistan, built on the experience of disasters here, and the experience of

ADPC and NSET.
