  5. Context Today  Poverty is inter-generational; so is disease burden (such as Tuberculosis, etc.) and other development indicators such as survival, education, health, protection, livelihood, etc.  More than ever, our children both globally, nationally and locally are experiencing more risk than ever before  Such risks and vulnerabilities turning into Disasters are rising at an unprecedented scale, both as extreme events as well as every day risks  1 in 6 children is affected by conflict of one form or other  All disasters have displaced individuals and communities, especially the poor and marginalized – often making them IDPs – deprived of Identity and Social Entitlements  Depleting rural resources and migration to urban areas  Un-planned Urbanization and its rapid growth  Changing Climatic conditions and its impact on future of women, children and youth Risks to Children and Youth are increasing more than ever????? 5

  10. Asian Ministerial Conference on DRR – New Delhi, November 06, 2016 – Asia Regional Plan Priority 3: Investing in Disaster Risk Reduction for Resilience a) Establish/strengthen regulatory frameworks to reinforce risk consideration in structural and non-structural investments. b) Promote national mechanisms for disaster risk transfer and insurance as appropriate. c) Increase resilience and integrate disaster risk reduction into business models, corporate practices, and supply chains through intensified partnerships between the private sector, local government and other stakeholders. d) Promote appropriate financial mechanisms to integrate disaster risk reduction considerations and measures to support the building of disaster resilient communities by engaging development funds, banks, private foundations and stakeholders. e) Allocate resources to local governments as appropriate to implement DRR measures. f) Institutionalize community-based disaster risk management (CBDRM) to strengthen resilience of households and communities . g) Strengthen education on disaster and climate risk reduction and accelerate the implementation of comprehensive school safety. h) Invest in the development of resilient health systems, and design and implementation • AMCDRR – 2016, November: • Asia Regional Plan for Implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 10

  11. Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction Asia Regional Plan and Implementation  Develop a national system of disaster damage and loss, applying international standards such as DALA, PDNA and methodologies for age, gender and disability-disaggregated data ; feed the data into national statistical system on disasters and make non-sensitive data and information available in public domain ;  Develop and/or strengthen national disaster loss database that is disaggregated to local level; and systematically record disaster loss and damages due to both small and large scale disasters.

  13. EDUCATION & COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL SAFETY At the very inception of this project, children and youth from different states of India came and demonstrated their understanding of risk, school disaster management planning and their role in monitoring and implementation. Children Group (CG) – a leadership group within the School - became an important driver for School Safety it was firmly established due to the experience of pioneering Civil Society initiatives and demonstration by the Children Groups that, “ Children are the Starting Point of any School Safety initiative” and not projects….
