Next Steps Of all their campaigns, Huairou members work in Disaster to Development is the most advanced. Not only has the basic model been piloted (Maharasthra, India, 1993) but tested (Gujarat, India, 2001 and Marmara Turkey, 1999). Its principles have been independently demonstrated by the work of the Garifuna people of Honduras. Huairou now plans to share its members methods with other grassroots organizations and document the lessons learned. Together, they will contribute to the rapidly evolving global discussion on disaster mitigation, management and recovery. Expansion Building on the disaster to development experience of Swayam Shikshan Prayog (India), the Foundation for the Support of Women’s Work (Turkey) and the Comité de Emergencia de Garifuna (Honduras), three new communities with vulnerability to disaster will begin community based planning. The model will include participation by local authorities, emergency aid organizations and grassroots groups as well as designs for the creation of local networks and resource centers. Documentation New groups will document the activities and strategies they initiated to recover after natural disasters and the advocacy methods they have used to hold institutions accountable to measurable goals and standards. Disaster Watch Website Based in India, a one-year website will report the disaster relief and development practices of local communities and offer supporting for grassroots initiatives. Policy Dialogue and Advocacy Share new knowledge and grassroots perspectives with current disaster partners, the World Bank, UNISDR and ICLEI. Together, they will launch an expanded coalition that advocates for institutional responses that promote community centered disaster management. |
