The DPPI SEE/UNSDR workshop Training of Trainers for the Implementation of the Sendai Framework was hosted and organised by Croatian National Protection and Rescue Directorate (NPRD) in collaboration with the UNISDR's Office for Northeast Asia and Global Education Training Institute (UNISDR ONEA-GETI) which was established to develop a new cadre of professionals in disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation for disaster resilient societies under the auspices of the United Nations.The main goal of the workshop was to increase social demand and political commitment for integrating disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation into overall economic and social planning processes, as well as to promote the establishment of sustained human resources capacity development (pool of experts and trainers) for further adaptation and dissemination of the methodology. Target audience of the workshop were national government officials responsible for DRR.
In the course of a three-day workshop, the participants had an opportunity to gain an in-depth knowledge of Sendai Framework and practice drafting of National DRR Action Plan by using Sendai Framework indicators to assess existing risk management instruments in their respective countries. The workshop was led by Mr Sanjaya Bhatia and Ms Sarah Wade-Apicella (UNISDR ONEA-GETI) with additional expert support from Ms Natasa Holcinger (NPRD), Ms Preslava Lilova (Bulgarian Red Cross) and Mr Luca Rossi (UNISDR Europe Region Office).Seventeen (17) participants from 9 DPPI SEE member countries successfully completed the ToT programme.
