Purpose:

The 2-page snapshot offers an overview of how the Regional Resilience Initiative (RRI) contributes to reducing the impact of disasters on vulnerable communities in Southeast Asia.

The initiative also seeks to strengthen partnerships with ASEAN and other regional stakeholders who are active in promoting resilience, particularly in:

  • Working hand-in-hand with ASEAN’s Humanitarian Assistance Centre
  • Participating in regional disaster response simulation exercises
  • Conducting ongoing technical dialogue with the ASEAN Secretariat
