Why Community Based DRM?
•
Viet Nam has long years experience in working with communities to combat disaster
impacts.
•
To address its high disaster risk, Viet Nam’s National DRM strategy (2009) promotes a
multi-hazard,
hazard, participatory risk management approach.
•
Since 2000, the Viet Nam Red Cross and other civil society organizations have
strengthened cost-effective
effective approaches to help communities prepare, respond and
recover from disasters
•
Bringing this good practice into Government is even more necessary as disasters
become more frequent and intense due to climate change.
Viet Nam’s 1002 Programme for CBDRM
Objective
To raise awareness and efficiently apply the CBDRM model at all
levels and sectors to mitigate human and property losses and to
ensure the sustainable development”
Component I
Strengthen capacity on
managing and implementing
CBDRM activities in
Government and among key
stakeholders
Component II
Enhance communication,
education and raising
awareness for community on
disaster risk management
Viet Nam’s CBDRM Process
Key elements and targets
Approved by the Prime Minister in 2009, the national
CBDRM program (1002) aims to:
• Ensure training, raising awareness and strengthen
capacity on CBDRM for 100%
% of GoV officials
responsible for disaster risk management
• Roll out CBDRM activities in 6000 communes at high
disaster risk (more than 60% of the national total)
• Raise awareness on CBDRM among more that 70% of
the population in target communes
• Ensure activities reach vulnerable groups including
women, children, the elderly and those with disabilities.
Progress to date: Systems
Materials and systems have been developed, tested and approved
1. National implementation guidelines are approved
2. Risk assessment and CBDRM planning manuals are approved
3. Tracking indicators and M&E system are approved
4. Commune level guidelines for implementation are approved
5. A program to bring DRM to schools through the Ministry of
Education is under implementation
6. Guidelines for integration into the regular budget process (the
Socio-Economic
Economic Development Plan) are under draft
7. Official Government Circular for CBDRM implementation is
close to finalization
8. Enhance cooperation mechanism and information sharing
among government agencies and NGOs
Progress to date: Capacity Development
Capacity has increased, and a network of trainers are
supporting implementation
1. All Disaster Management Centre Staff have been
trained in CBDRM
2. More than 1,200 provincial level staff, Red Cross and
Women’s Union representatives have been trained to
roll-out
out implementation at the commune level
3. A Master’s trainers network, and technical working
group of experts is supporting implementation
4. Teachers are being trained in all provinces, and
schools are beginning to integrate DRM into the
elementary curriculum
Progress to date: Outreach
As of December 2014, 1,677 communes
had initiated CBDRM projects.
More than 33,000 community members,
nearly 40% of whom women, gained
CBDRM skills

Challenges
• Implementation is currently uneven, and
some high risk provinces need more
support to implement systems
• Human resources need to be further
developed to scale-up and maintain the
program
• Data collection is key, and M&E databases
need consolidated attention.
• ODA funding for CBDRM is decreasing, just
as implementation capacity and demand
from provinces is increasing.
• Lack of government budget.
Lessons Learned
• Basing activities in commune offices on helps
create ownership and significantly reduces costs
• Communities need effective links to early
warning systems, and technology is making this
easier and more cost effective
• Participation of women and vulnerable groups
increases effective planning
• Translation of materials and special outreach is
needed to reach remote ethnic minority living in
high risk areas
• Building partnership among Government – NGOs
- Donors - Private sector is important
Recommendations/ Next Steps
• CBDRM should be further integrated into other national
program (ie: new rural program, re-forestation
forestation,
environmental protection, etc.)
• Integrating the actions from CBDRM plans into the SEDP
budget process will be key to securing finance for
medium or long term investment
• The private sector can also be mobilized to be more
active in supporting planning and implementation
• Scale up of the national program and essential
component to reducing risk in Viet Nam
