Summary and brief recommendations
What works well:
This is the first time Participants came to realize the inner strength of Inclusion Dimension of whole DRM process, that is concerned about to make sure the voice and power of people whose rights of dignity, choice, decision making, leadership and accountability has been ignored or overlooked through existing exclusion and vulnerability factors. This framework open up the avenue to think inclusion in a broader canvas and look at bigger picture rather narrow down the focus only within number of excluded people.
This toolkit breakthrough the dominant idea that keep people within a limited focus only through increasing of number of people who are excluded, rather than break the cycle of exclusion feature and its barriers.
The heart of this framework is 4 Dimensions and its links to power dynamics that most participants like and feel useful and effective. In many cases people are struggling to find way out from where they can start work leads towards inclusion. Here 4 Dimension tells about each can be an entry point to make
4
DRM Inclusive.
The inner connection to one chapter /one session to another are very logical and analytical that is thought provoking for practitioner to see the same issue from “out of box”.
It is very participatory and using of different methods in each session is very useful to attract people attention to the issue as well as engage them in the discussion.
What need to do better in future
Training time should be 3 at least in future as it talks about whole DRM process that requires more time on session on 4Dimension and its application into whole DRM process.
There should be more discussion and time for making linkage between Twin Track Approach and 4 Dimension.
There should be more time for energizer and music as 2 days schedule is very tight.
It is important to have presence of senior management in this training and their commitment to roll out this in next DRM activities and projects.

BACKGROUND
“People’s exposure to risk differs according to their class (which affects their income, how they live and where), whether they are male or female, what their ethnicity is, what age group they belong to, whether they are disable or not, their immigration status, and so forth. This vulnerability is determined by social systems and power, not by natural forces alone” – (Ben Wisner, Piers Blaikie, Terry Canon and Ian Davis, At Risk, natural hazards, people’s vulnerability and disasters: 2nd Edition, 2003). South Asian countries are exposed to multiple natural hazards, making them highly vulnerable to disasters in the process. The intensity and frequency of disasters is increasing based on the lack of coping and adaptive capacities and adequate measures, with a direct linkage between such capacities and the risk rating level for vulnerable and excluded groups. Inequalities and social exclusion determine that certain social groups or sectors suffer more in extreme events and disasters because of their place within a system of unequal social power relations and underlying vulnerabilities. Inclusive Disaster Risk Management (DRM) is aimed at addressing those underlying vulnerabilities; promoting equality for rights and opportunities, dignity of the individual, acknowledging diversity and contributing to resilience for everyone, not leaving aside members of a community based on age, gender, disability or other. While the need and added value of Inclusive DRM is acknowledged and practiced by DRM actors across the region recognizing that Inclusion is a process of doing the same things differently, the application usually remains isolated within organizations and impact restricted to direct target communities. Strategies adopted remain adhoc, and inclusion becomes as a tokenism and without bringing sustainable change in the lives of vulnerable communities. Funded under the 7th DIPECHO Action Plan for South Asia and implemented in consortium at regional level by Handicap International, Oxfam GB and Action Aid, Inclusive Community Resilience for Sustainable Disaster Risk Management (INCRISD) South Asia aims at “building safer, more resilient communities in South Asia…” by empowering and raising the voices of women, people with disabilities and socially excluded groups on DRM through multi-stakeholder engagement. The project is active in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka and is working closely with selected DIPECHO partners to develop, validate and promote evidence-based inclusive approaches that are harmonized across the region and can be replicated and scaled-up by key DRM stakeholders . In regard to the project background and context, a training programme is being organized by INCRISD South Asia and managed by Oxfam, held from 19th to 20th November 2014, titled “Training on Inclusive Toolkit” in Bangladesh. The 2 day-long training programme aimed to bring mid-level DRM practitioners in obtaining a strong understanding of inclusive approach to DRM. To unpack the Inclusive DRM Framework, a tool developed and validated at a regional level by participants from the region, that helps convert the complexity of inclusive approaches into manageable components.
The training was designed to meet the following objectives set in the Terms of Reference (ToR) provided by the country team:
a) To provide training on the inclusive DRM Framework and the use of the Inclusive DRM Toolkit.
6
b) To garner commitment to adopt and promote the inclusive DRM framework and the
toolkit within individual organisations and beyond. The workshop was conducted in a total of 7 sessions during a 2 day long period and with the objectives in mind, the framework and the toolkit aim to help people to “think and do inclusion” in DRM by:
Showing that inclusion is both an approach and a mindset involving an ongoing process of challenging our ideas and adapting our practices;
Giving practitioners lenses to gauge achievements, and to capture and share learning around inclusion;
Providing guidance on how to strengthen inclusion by linking to existing toolkits – in particular on addressing social exclusion - that can be used or adapted to support DRM practices;
Promoting further debate on inclusion amongst practitioners. In total 26 participants attended the training (Annex 1) which includes 5 Oxfam staffs from different programmes, 4 staffs from Action Aid, 3 staffs from Handicap International, 2 staffs from Islamic Relief Bangladesh, 2 staff from Concern Universal, 2 lecturers from University of Dhaka, 1 from Helpage International, 1 from Muslim Aid, 1 from Save the Children, 1 from Concern Worldwide and 4 from other NGOs. Majority of the participants of this training are basically mid-level DRM practitioners.
TRAINING APPROACHES AND METHODOLOGY
The training on inclusive toolkits was designed in a flexible manner which gave a favorable environment for the participants to interact and exchange their views and thoughts in regard to the training and in correlation to their professional practice. This also helped enable participants to express and share their difficulties and constraints faced by participants in their professional practice and at the end of each day, the participants provided their valuable feedbacks to the facilitator regarding the improvement of the training for long term future planning, process, action and implementation. The training used various unique methodologies to deliver the training and engage the participants in an attractive manner. The sessions were delivered through Power Point presentations, group works, sharing of short case videos of practice, cartoon handouts, character-role playing, hat making, etc. (Annex 2). Participants were kept engaged in energizing exercises during half day of the training in order to keep them focused and proactive toward reaching the goals of the training and helping themselves to achieve further in professional practice. The schedule was well planned despite the rigidness and time was effectively utilized in ensuring the training procedures and overall results without any loss. The training went up for 8 hours a day and conducted in 7 sessions in a period of 2 days.

Key discussion points and message
- Participants know each other and familiarized themselves with the background of Project and Inclusive DRM Framework, Toolkit and key objective of the Training.
- Vulnerability is not always how we see people, rather it is how people feel and position themselves too. People who have impairment, disability and are of old age are not always vulnerable as exampled by one of the participants, David Lowen, whose
8
character was a “50 year old man with a severe hearing impairment, not assisted by any institution”, where he explained that people despite their difficulties are still capable in handling their situation and overcome the circumstances given the challenges, obstacle and experiences faced over the years. Such examples gave participants a whole wide understanding beyond clustering „Older People‟, „Person with Disability‟ as a vulnerable group.
- Participants realized the way we make conclusion „who is vulnerable and who is excluded‟ need to have more consultation and discussion with actual group of people in community that requires this exercise before make a selection criteria of vulnerabilities by ourselves.
- When we indicate vulnerability of people without mapping and identifying their capacity, we actually bypass the space to make sure their actual engagement and ownership.
- The key important fact of this training is it gives the inner strong sense that vulnerability is result and outcomes in a way that derives from the complex mechanism of different sources of power depending on position within power structure where people belong to.
- In the session on “ one step forward” Participants at times tend to have confusion regarding their place and position within different cycle that sometimes make them included, sometimes not.
- DRM Practitioner‟s have different eye lens that cannot always identify every people‟s situation. Practitioner‟s need to widen the lens or perspective not as an aid/development/humanitarian worker but as an active citizen therefore they will be able to assess and identify the groups who are excluded and vulnerable.
- Enhancing in identifying the missing gaps and links from analyzing short case videos which will help strengthen professional practice
- There is no rigid rule to have the exact and appropriate approaches for addressing the underlying issues, ingredients and dimensions while work in Social Inclusion. Also, with regard to inclusiveness, the approaches must be flexible and adapt to the changing context, therefore it must not follow a rigid system.
- DRM process affects every sectors and each sector should not be seen exclusive.
- The existing diagram of DRM process is not enough or self-explanatory, it requires more elaboration. What ingredients are there? DRM is not a linear and easy process as more issues exist outside the circle
- DRM process should be more holistic and an open or transparent approach where both individual and natural environment should be included.
- After discussion of DRM process, it seems The 4 dimension are more concerned about exclusion from Rights holders point of view. It needs to have more discussion and analysis about its link how it will include the duty bearers also. There is a room to improve twin track approach. The 4 ingredients need to analyze and covered the role for mainstreaming it into organization and the system.
CHALLENGES
- 2 days is relatively short duration while the training intention is unpack the exclusion-
inclusion dynamics through critical power analysis. It takes time for session 2, session 3 and session 5.
- Due to lack of time, facilitator was unable to using video for AHA moments.

LESSONS LEARNED
- Opening New Doors: DRM process opens new doors to every dimension beyond
framework. One participant added that “there is scope to go beyond 4 dimensions
framework, like more ingredients can be added such as respect and dignity and how it
can be placed within the dimensions”. However, it must be transparent, accountable and
open and also it cannot be categorized.
- Change of Perspective from 4 dimensions: The training helped practitioners “increase
their shutter skills” by getting a broader understanding of why people are excluded, how
to identify the excluded and included people, who are the target people, what
approaches can be taken in analyzing the situation and context, what measures can be
taken to build capacity and so forth through the clarification of 4 dimensions. The use of
4 dimensions gave the participants a big lesson in using tools in their practice and
process. Such in-depth thinking of 4 dimensions have led the participants in developing
their thought process in identifying the missing links and gaps and how one can organize
themselves in taking time to prepare the unexpected challenges as there are so many
complex issues to take into account; and how to see the excluded and vulnerable
outside the perspective of the project. Such understanding helped participants to realize
that their practice must maintain a flexible systematic approach in using inclusive tools.
The training also helped the participants to understand that if they fail to address the
excluded, inclusion will be completely ignored therefore they must have a social and
attitude change in helping the excluded to participate in the whole holistic DRM process.
- Further understanding of Inclusion, Exclusion and Vulnerability: Inclusion itself is a
project and needs to mainstream inclusion, which requires knocking every organization
involved in this work and tailoring an approach. Inclusion itself is not a single issue as it
is precisely compiled and comprehensive and can only be successful as long as it is
open and transparent. In the overall context, as put by a participant, “inclusion,
exclusion and vulnerability is not so easy as it is very complex, inclusion,
exclusion and vulnerability needs a change in practitioner’s methods, inclusion,
exclusion and vulnerability has to be active elements in decision making and
inclusion, exclusion and vulnerability is a 2 way process”.
- Developing commitment and faith: The training developed realization among the
participants in putting their commitment and faith toward the holistic DRM process in
putting the framework forward by involving stakeholders at every level in participation
and decision making and working on people‟s potential in building capacity and hence
forth.
- Effective Training Tools and Methodology: Despite the 2 day long training being
partially critical, complex and intense, it was highly praised and acknowledged for its
vision, facilitation, excellent contents, rich tools and materials that will guide them in their
professional practice. The participants heavily emphasized and expressed their
satisfaction on the training methodologies which are character role-playing, short case
videos, looking at practices wearing new hats and using cartoons. The methods made
the participants more confident and developed their productive skills by adding new skills
10
and knowledge to their practice. The participants gained understanding in the
fundamental principles and found their place in where their approaches lie holistically to
the entire components.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND WAY FORWARD
Training time should be 3 at least in future as it talks about whole DRM process and
Need to have more time on 4Dimension session and its application.
There should be more discussion and time for making linkage between Twin Track
Approach and 4 Dimension.
There should be more time for energizer and music as 2 days schedule is very tight.
It is important to have presence of senior management in this training and their
commitment to roll out this in next DRM activities and projects.

Annex 3: Detailed Agenda
Time Session Details of the Session Activities Comments on Procedure
19 November 2014 (Day 1)
9:30 – 10:30 Welcome, Introduction
and objective settings
The purpose of this training session is to:
Introduce the purpose of the training
Introduce participants and facilitator At the end of the session participants know the workshop objective and will be acquainted with some other participants
The training kicked-off with an introductory presentation given by the training facilitator who is responsible for conducting the 2 day long workshop. The basic presentation was to give the participants a grasp of the background of INCRISD Project and its relevance to the Inclusive DRM Toolkit, holistic understanding of the overall training objectives, details of the sessions, expected outcomes. The introductory presentation was followed with an ice-breaker where the participants were engaged in a treasure hunt which involved them to find a partner and ask questions, matching the criteria based on the list of questions given to them.
10:30 – 11:00
Tea Break
11:00 – 12:00
Walk one step forward
The purpose of this training session is to:
Clarify the distinctions between vulnerability and exclusion
Give participants a sense of what “recognition of diversity” might entail
At the end of the session participants have a clearer understanding of the concepts of “exclusion” and “vulnerability” and what the dimension “recognizing diversity” entails
For this session, each participant was given a role card where they have to play their designated roles. The roles are unknown to other participants and are context specific to a particular region. The participants were positioned side by side in a row and from the starting line, they will “walk one step forward if...” when the facilitator read out the conditions from the list during this exercise. Some participants either moved a long distance forward or a short one based on the conditions met. After fulfilling all the conditions, the participants each debriefed their roles and explained why they are vulnerable and excluded and after sharing their views, they each revealed their characters. When participants got a grasp of understanding and
19
clarification of their characters, they were told to stand on four corners of the hall where their characters fit the criteria that best represent them based on the cards which are “vulnerable, excluded”, “not vulnerable, excluded”, “vulnerable, not excluded” and “not vulnerable, not excluded”. This exercise guided them in comprehending many different factors leading to exclusion and vulnerability.
12:00 – 13:30
Inclusion: 4 dimensions
The purpose of this training session is to:
Present the inclusion framework (4 dimensions)
Engage participants in discussions to define what are the key features that we can use to characterize each “levels of achievements” or the extent to which each dimension can unfold
At the end of the session participants will know the dimensions of inclusive DRM proposed in the framework, and have a sense of the levels of achievement we could aspire to within each of them
The session involved a presentation where the participants familiarized themselves on the concept of inclusion framework (4 Dimensions, 4D) based on 4 key ingredients which are “participation in decision making”, “recognition of diversity”, “removal of barriers” and “tailored approach”. With the understanding of the 4 key ingredients, the participants are divided into 4 groups (one for each dimensions) where they were provided with markers, flipcharts and set of cartoon handouts, and under the headline of each ingredients, each group were tasked to rank the level of the cartoons provided to them and place them on the pre-formatted flipchart with space to stick the cartoon and describe the features of the level. One by one, the groups showed their work and also invited members of other groups to show their work and exchanged views and thoughts and also explained why their cartoons are ranked based in the 4D model.
1:30 – 2:30 Lunch Break
2:30 – 3:00 Energiser
3:00 – 5:00 Levels of achievement
The purpose of this training session is to:
Present concepts and ideas about “measuring” inclusiveness
Introduce guiding questions for gauging the level of achievements on the 4 dimensions of the framework
The session gave a presentation to the participants in familiarizing the measurement of inclusiveness and after gripping an idea from the presentation, the participants were divided into 3 groups where each groups are provided with pen drives containing videos, flipcharts with scoring matrixes and handouts along
20
At the end of the session the participants will be capable to gauge the level inclusiveness of a practice.
with laptops for viewing the videos. Each group were given 2 short videos where they were tasked to use their 4D lenses to evaluate the videos and used the flipcharts to draw the scoring matrixes and detailing their discussions on the rationale of different views.
20 November 2014 (Day 2)
9:30 – 10:00 Reflection from 1st day
10:00 – 11:45
The DRM process
The purpose of this training session is to
illustrate the components of good DRM processes,
show how the 4 dimensions and the framework can be applied to check if such processes are also inclusive
Know how the 4 dimensions and the framework can be applied to check if DRM processes are also inclusive
The session started with a presentation illustrating the components for a good DRM process and how the 4 dimensions and the framework can be applied to check if such processes are also inclusive. The participants are then divided in 4 groups where each are provided with markers and cards in which they wrote their views and thoughts on how to further aid in enhancing the project in guiding the DRM process and what are the underlying gaps that requires attention.
11:15 – 11:35
Tea Break
11:45 – 1:30 Looking at practices
wearing new hats
The purpose of this training session is to:
Allow participants to interrogate their own practice with the inclusion 4D lenses
Understand what type of information they will need to assess a practice
Further their understanding on the dimensions and the scoring system
At the end of the session participants will have assessed examples from their own work, know what they can ask assess each dimension in their work and have a sense of what might be relevant to capture in the “because” of their score.
This session involved participants divided in 4 groups where the groups discussed among each other regarding the practices they came across during their professional experiences and choose one good practice on which they will work on. The groups were provided with glues, masking tapes, markers, old newspaper, scissors and staplers which they use to make creative hats and name cards will be given to them which they will place on their hats. The groups each consists of 6 participants based on the name cards which are Facilitator, Practice, Participation in Decision-Making, Recognition of Diversity, Tailored Approach and Removal of Barriers. The group members discussed the selected good practice and come up with the discussion points which was shared with other groups and facilitators.
21
1:30 – 2:30 Lunch Break
2:30 – 4:30 Using the framework to…
The purpose of this training session is to:
Give participants a good understanding that the framework can be used in many ways, in different contexts and for different purposes
Inspire some commitments for further action to use the framework and promote it
At the end of the session participants will know the many things to which they can apply the framework, will have realised that each of them is also an opportunity to promote it, and will have made concrete commitments to do so.
For this session, the participants were put to practice on how they will apply the framework on their existing professional practices and how to incorporate the elements in further practice. They were provided with flipcharts and markers and split into 6 groups where each group focused their practice and work under the headlines which are CBO formation/mobilization, CRA, Institutionalization and Policy Advocacy, Mass Awareness, Small Scale Mitigation and Capacity building where they made a list of gaps and how to implement the framework to overcome the identified gaps.
After completing this task, the participants were split into groups based on their respected organizations and consortiums which are Action Aid, Handicap International- Help Age, OXFAM, DeSHARI, NARRI and academic institution where they outlined of potential aspects and elements which require priority and needs to be ensured in future practices of the framework in their respective organizations.
4:30 – 5:00 Conclusion
