The “Building Regional Resilience Through Anticipatory Action and Civil Society Empowerment (ASEAN-BRACE)” project aims to enhance disaster resilience in Southeast Asia. The project seeks to strengthen the capacity of institutions in ASEAN to improve gender-sensitive disaster preparedness and coordination. The project also seeks to engage Canadian CSOs in the humanitarian sector in study tours and learning exchanges. Project activities include: (1) increasing capacity of ASEAN-based Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) to contribute to regional disaster resilience of ASEAN countries; (2) increasing capacity of ASEAN institutions to collaborate with selected ASEAN-based CSOs in developing gender-sensitive regional frameworks and mechanisms; and (3) increasing capacity of ASEAN countries to integrate anticipatory action mechanisms in disaster management at the regional level.
