The main purpose of the training on PDNA and DRF is to inform Government officials from the SAARC Member States about the advantages of applying a standardized approach and methodology to conduct post disaster needs assessments, formulate a recovery strategy and plan for its successful implementation.
In addition, a pool of 35 to 40 delegates from member countries will be trained on the use and application of the PDNA and DRF methodology and approach. One of the expected results is to establish a roster of professionals from the member countries to undertake needs assessment and formulate recovery frameworks in the Asian Region.
Regional experts are expected to support in-country trainings and capacity-building within SAARC member countries.
The 4-day training methodology includes: a series of interactive lectures, power point presentations, directives for small and large group discussions, practical exercises, role-plays and a standardized case-study analysis. Handouts, flash drives with relevant essential documents for the workshop, and instructions for facilitators and trainees will be shared during the workshop; prior to the workshop, participants are encouraged to: read and familiarize themselves with the PDNA methodology, Vol. A, review the suit of sector chapters Vol. B as well as the Disaster Recovery Framework (DRF).
