The project aims to improve the capacity of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Member States and local partners to increase their capacities to provide gender-responsive humanitarian assistance and respond to new complex natural and man-made disasters. It also integrates protection and inclusiveness (PGI) considerations, climate change adaptation, environmental sustainability standards, and measures into disaster management. Project activities include: (1) developing regional capacity building; (2) developing an operational guideline on new risk scenarios (climate change, public health crisis, conflict); (3) giving training on humanitarian assistance, protection and gender inclusion in emergency response; (4) holding multi-sectoral workshops on gender-sensitive and inclusive humanitarian assistance response guidelines; and (5) creating knowledge exchange on gender-responsive, inclusive, and sustainable humanitarian assistance.
