2 1. Program Overview PEER has two objectives as follows: PEER Objective 1: Community Action for Disaster Response (CADRE): Establish a system for enhanced community level first responder capacity in disaster prone communities in PEER s six core countries (Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Nepal, Pakistan, and the Philippines) with expansion to Cambodia, Lao PDR and Vietnam (nine countries in total for PEER 3). Please note: This is the ARC-supplementary funded component of PEER PEER Objective 2: Hospital Preparedness for Emergencies (HOPE): Continuation of the Hospital Preparedness for Emergencies (HOPE) courses in the six PEER countries and extension of the HOPE courses to the three new PEER countries (Cambodia, Lao PDR, and Vietnam). Please note: This is the USAID-OFDA funded component of PEER ARC funded programs are channeled into Objective 1 CADRE so the reporting for PEER to ARC will focus here on CADRE program developments although where applicable, and where necessary to give complete program context, HOPE program developments may also be reported. For CADRE component of PEER the Program Targets are as follows: Key targets: 1) To develop a current and relevant curriculum that develops the core capability and competences of non- professional response personnel in communities in the six PEER countries 2) To develop training processes to effectively deliver the training program through sustainable training methodology, which incorporates best practice adult learning principles and self-evaluation? 3) To establish a core group of instructors who are capable of delivering the training materials, training new instructors, undertaking self-evaluation, and revising the training materials and processes in the light of self evaluation and ongoing experiences 4) To develop advocacy and awareness raising initiatives aimed at policy-makers, general public and donors Background to PEER 3: The Program for Enhancement of Emergency Response (PEER) is a regional program initiated by USAID/OFDA in The goal is to enhance local and regional disaster preparedness and response capacities of vulnerable countries within the Asia region through institutionalization of sustainable disaster preparedness training programs and emergency response systems. PEER has completed two stages and has commenced PEER 3 in July The Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC), Thailand executed the first stage of PEER during in four Asian countries namely India, Indonesia, Nepal, and the Philippines. The primary focus of PEER Stage 1 was to establish partnerships with key stakeholders in the project countries that laid the foundation of the program and adapted to the Asian context the basic courses on Medical First Response (MFR), Collapsed Structure Search and Rescue (CSSR), instructors development courses on Training for Instructors (TFI), MFR instructors workshop (MFRIW) and Collapsed Structure Search and Rescue Instructors Workshop (CSSRIW). The complimentary course - Hospital Preparedness for Emergencies (HOPE), that linked pre-hospital emergency care to tertiary care health facilities was designed and pilot tested in PEER Stage 1. PEER 2 - National Society for Earthquake Technology (NSET), Nepal implemented the second stage of PEER from 2003-March 2009, extending the country coverage to Bangladesh and Pakistan, after the 2005 Kashmir Earthquake. The main focus of PEER 2 was nationalization of the regional basic and instructors development courses on MFR, CSSR through adaptation to the national contexts and languages. Master Instructors have been trained in the target countries to design, coordinate organize training courses and to monitor sessions, in place of oversea monitors and course

3 coordinators. Adequate number of course instructors has been trained in each country to independently organize national level training programs. The HOPE course was reviewed and re-oriented to address multi-hazard consideration from its earlier seismic hazard focus during later part of PEER 2. The new HOPE curriculum was finalized, piloted and implemented in PEER 2. Refresher courses on MFR and CSSR were also developed and piloted. PEER 3 - The activities in PEER 3 from are logical continuation of previous program implementation efforts by ADPC and NSET. PEER Stage III aims to further assist institutionalize the capacities of countries to implement a sustainable training program in MFR, CSSR and HOPE in the six PEER countries developing qualified instructors, coordinators, monitors and partnerships with institutions. With the implementation of the Community Action for Disaster Response (CADRE) in PEER 3, funded by American Red Cross, this will further broaden the reach of PEER to the local levels, contributing to the overall goal of the PEER program. PEER is extending the program to three new countries namely Cambodia, Lao PDR and Vietnam. Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC) The Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC) is a regional non-profit foundation based in Thailand, established with an approved charter under the Thai Law by the National Cultural Commission on 12 May 1999 and by the Royal Thai Government on 11 June Since then, ADPC has been granted inter-governmental organization status by the Royal Thai Government, which was approved by the founding member countries on 28 February ADPC is mandated to promote safer communities and sustainable development through the reduction of impact of disasters in response to the needs of countries and communities in the Asia and Pacific region. ADPC works to achieve this mandate by raising awareness, helping to establish and strengthen sustainable institutional mechanisms, enhancing knowledge and skills, and facilitating the exchange of information, experience and expertise. This approach is applied to developing capacity for managing public health aspects of emergencies, which is a key theme in ADPC s program of activities and the focus of ADPC s Public Health in Emergencies Team.

4 2. Current Quarter in Review Country Overview of Program Accomplishments / Challenges Summary of PEER country accomplishments and challenges for this quarter (Jul-Sept 2011) Notes in RED summarize the main accomplishments and challenges for this particular reporting quarter. PEER Country / Accomplishments Program Target Bangladesh CADRE National Pilot and TFI in Bangladesh were held 19 Sept 2 Oct 2011 at the Fire Service and Civil Defense (FSCD), Dhaka. Mr. Muhammad Murad Billah coordinated CADRE work as PEER Country Coordinator located at the ADPC office in Dhaka. Partners FSCD provided support, venue, Instructors and logistics assistance. Launch of CADRE in Bangladesh carried out with High Profile support from DMB, BDRCS, FSCD and Govt. Ministries. MOU with DMB Bangladesh was discussed and agreed being finalized. Agreement formed with BDRCS on selected CADRE Communities in Bangladesh Paikepara rural community visited by PEER COP and CC. MOU NIPSOM for HOPE (National Institute for Preventative and Social Medicine) is finalized and signed by all parties MOU / Partnership Agreement is signed by BDRCS and ADPC for activities under CADRE to commence. Mr. Sajit Menon, IFRC Bangladesh is assisting in coordinating the preparation of the National Pilot Course with BDRCS The Bangladesh Fire Service is tasked by MOFDM to initiate a training program for Community Volunteers with an expected 62,000 participants potentially taking part. It is expected that PEER trainings will be integrated into these training programs. Challenges CADRE Bangladesh was previously rescheduled from July 2011, to September /October This is due to the request of BDRCS that the CADRE Training should not be held during Ramadan Fasting Month. The Bangladesh festival of Eid-Ul-Adha and some logistics challenges have led to the slight delay in undertaking the commencement of community activities which are now planned for later in Nov 2011 Cambodia Locations of CADRE Cambodia Pilot Communities is being finalized. And dates for the trainings assigned. These are currently as follows: -Model Community No. 1 CADRE Basic 5-7 October 2011, Kampongthom, Cambodia - Model Community No. 2 CADRE Basic October 2011, Phnom Penh, Cambodia Cambodia National Pilot Course took place in April 2011 as part of a Regional Training Program for CADRE in Bangkok Thailand, also incorporating participants from Vietnam and Lao PDR. Mr. Bi Chantola commenced work as PEER in country coordinator located at the ADPC office in Phnom Penh but has resigned now replaced by Mr. Im Bee previously of Cambodian Red Cross. There were some challenges fixing the training date and the nominations for participants, since the trainings coincided with flooding - which was a challenge for both ADPC Cambodia and CRC. The shortage of participants from the flooding area led to delay from CRC since many branches were busy with flash flood

5 Translation of CADRE training package to Khmer is completed with the support of ADPC office in Cambodia. observation, assessment and emergency relief aid. Seasonal calendar is important to consider when arranging trainings. India India Country Planning Meeting (CPM) took place: 4 August 2011, NDMA, New Delhi, India in coordination with India NDMA attended from ADPC by Dr. Bhichit Rattakul, Ex Dir ADPC, Mr Sajedul Hassan COP PEER, Mr John Abo, PEER Dep. COP, and Mr. Aslam Perwaiz, ADPC. In India the nodal agency will be the Ministry of Home Affairs, with the Emergency Medical Relief- Ministry of Health the lead agency for HOPE, Other partners and implementing orgs include the National Disaster Response Force, and Training Institutions (Central Industrial Security Force, Border Security Force, and Indo Tibetan Border Police Force). The country planning meeting reviewed past accomplishments of PEER in India and the lessons learned from the first 2 stages of PEER. At the end of the meeting, a draft implementation plan was composed, constituted of tentative schedule, target participants and location of different activities to be suggested by partners, as well as recommendation for coordination of activities by identification of channels of communication and focal persons from all partner agencies. A bilateral meeting took place 5 August with EMR- MOH - Dr. Ravindran - Director of EMR to discuss the implementation of HOPE under the partial funding assistance program. Also to discuss their offer to ADPC of a space in their office to assist in implementing HOPE. Dr. Roderico who is the WHO Regional Adviser of HAC will also join the meeting The 2nd 4-Party Meeting (USAID-ARC, ADPC, and NSET) was held on 5 August 2011, at, The Park Hotel, New Delhi, India. PEER team ADPC met Mr. Amod Dixit, Ex. Dir. NSET and reps from USAID. CRCS does not have any training related to SAR and MCI in which CADRE can contribute Previous CPM Planning mission tentatively scheduled on May 2011 in New Delhi with Ministry of Home Affairs was cancelled previous attempts to schedule the CPM have been unsuccessful. A meeting with IFRC was also scheduled - to link our activities on CADRE. IFRC in South Asia will provide useful guidance and advice on how to deal with Indian RC so as not to alienate them from the program. This is somewhat sensitive as the Indian RC Secretary General is a former official from MoH and senior to Dr. Ravindran. We aim to gain their support for CADRE and also HOPE. Unfortunately no personnel was available from ARC to attend the 2nd 4-Party Meeting (USAID-ARC, ADPC, and NSET) held on5 August 2011, at, The Park Hotel, New Delhi, India Indonesia PEER Team hoping to move ahead in Indonesia by scheduling the commencement of trainings under CADRE in Indonesia in November 2011 with Instructors from Ambulan 118, and participants from PMI to be carried out in Jakarta.

The course was conducted successfully, benefiting from the support and backing of the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) of Pakistan. The Chairman of the NDMA Dr. Zafar Iqbal Qadir was an honored guest at the CADRE opening ceremony. Dr. Zafar Iqbal Quadir leads the national team responsible for managing the whole spectrum of disasters in Pakistan. PEER team and the NDMA held a Planning Meeting in 2010, ahead of the devastating floods last year and this CADRE course marks the first capacity-building program under PEER since this major national disaster. There were some challenges with this course in the attendance of some participants. PES participants completed all the requirements for attendance, however, some of the participants from PRCS failed to attend several sessions for CADRE TFI-IW. His means that they are unable to graduate the course, since his requires attendance at all sessions. Therefore the PEER team is considering strategies for utilizing these partially trained participants, allowing them to complete the training by attending the missing components in subsequent CADRE training in Pakistan. It is important to have a full team of National CADRE Instructors within PRCS; therefore PEER team will continue to seek all possible options for building up the skills of these partially-trained participants.

Participants: 26 Participants participated in CADRE Basic and Adaptation Workshop among which 18 participants were from CADRE focal agency Bangladesh Red Crescent Society, 4 participants were from Bangladesh Fire Service and Civil Defense and 4 other participants were from National and International NGOs. 25 Participants participated in Training for Instructors and Instructors workshop among which 22 participants completed the course successfully. Review and Outcomes: CADRE national training was conducted successfully, which was a tribute to the productive partnership with CADRE country focal agencies and the dedication of the PEER in-country team. CADRE Bangladesh was officially launched on 18 September 2011 at the Fire Service and Civil Defense (FSCD) Mirpur 10, Dhaka Present at the opening event were; Mr. M Aslam Alam, Secretary, Disaster Management and Relief Division (DMRD) Ministry of Food and Disaster Management (MOFDM) Govt. of Bangladesh, Mr. Ahsan Zakir, Director General, Disaster Management Bureau (DMB), Mr. Khondoker Jakaria Khaled, Deputy Secretary General, BDRCS, and Brigadier General (Retd.) Abu Nayeem Md. Shahidullah, Director General, FSCD. The guests together pledged to continue to support community disaster preparedness in Bangladesh. As the opening event was about to commence, there was a strong earthquake 495 km away in Sikkim, which was felt in Dhaka - leading to an immediate evacuation of the FSCD building. When the earthquake subsided and he building was deemed safe, the launch was commenced. The launch event was attended by representatives of Dhaka-based international NGOs and Ministries and invitations had been sent out previously in coordination with the ADPC Bangladesh Country Office, led by PEER Bangladesh Country Coordinator. Other challenges during the duration of the training included a general strike or hartal, some outbreaks of politically motivated unrest in Bangladesh, and there were also frequent power cuts. During the hartal, CADRE participants living/staying off campus (FSCD) were invited to stay in the FSCD complex to ensure that they could still attend he training, since all public transport was affected excluding rickshaws. The Senior Instructors for CADRE Bangladesh were drawn from the FCSD which has many years of experience with training in MFR / CSSR. The Instructors from FSCD were excellent, and the coordination and facilitation of the FSCD was also extremely efficient and accommodating. The CADRE basic Course was followed by a one-day Adaptation Workshop, attended in by all participants at this point the course book was thoroughly reviewed in advance of adaption to the Bangladesh national context and requirements. Since completion of the CADRE course, adaptation and translation of CADRE Participants Workbook has been completed and this workbook will be used for training in the pilot communities. During this program activity in Bangladesh, bi-lateral meetings took place with focal agencies including DMB, BDRCS and NIPSOM. This led to the following outcomes: The partnership agreement with CADRE focal agency and HOPE country focal agency was signed. Selection of two CADRE pilot communities was completed in alliance with BDRCS and IFRC - for introduction to CADRE Pilot Community - Paikepura (Rural Community) please see PEER website - also please see Online Photo Database: MOU with PEER country focal agency Disaster Management Bureau (DMB) was signed.

PEER program management focus is now in-country, now that CADRE and HOPE development stages are now at country level, having moved beyond the regional level. In the forthcoming months, PEER will also move beyond national level, to community level. Therefore this further necessitates personnel involvement in management in-country. PEER Country Coordinators for PEER will support the program logistically and practically in the roll out of trainings. This will prove a cost-and-time effective method to implement the program at country-level. The Country Coordinators will receive a retainer fee, and will mainly be utilized for the benefit of the program in activities prior, during and after specific program activities as well as for networking, planning and monitoring purposes ongoing. In the remaining PEER countries where there is no ADPC Country Office, the PEER Country Coordinator will be assigned from within Partner Agency or Nodal Agency as appropriate.
