National consultative meeting on disaster risk reduction
This is the fifth Meeting of the kind organised in the country, for the second time jointly with the Government of Vietnam. The rationale behind the event is to: carry out a multi-stakeholder dialogue on current Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) issues in the country; identify priority actions for DRR advocacy; disseminate lessons learned; discuss DIPECHO’s proposed orientations in Vietnam for the period 2010-2011; use participant’s experience to refine priorities, gaps and actions identified.
The Meeting contributes to a programming process in the region which outcomes will serve as the basis for the next Call for Expression of Interest for the 7th Action Plan for DIPECHO South East Asia, with the following expected timeframe:
- Publication of a call by January 2010 - deadline end of February 2010
- 15 month projects to start as of May 2010 at the earliest
