The 8th Practitioners’ Workshop on Risk Reduction and Resilience in Asia was organized by the Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC) with the aim to provide a unique opportunity for practitioners and organizations to jointly reflect on the outcomes of the Third World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction which took place in Sendai, Japan in March 2015. The workshop was organized by and for practitioners with relevant technical expertise and knowledge of risk reduction in Asia. The participants had the opportunity to identify ways to translate the Sendai commitments into practice and implement the framework on the ground – putting policy debates aside.

The workshop program focused on four themes:

• Enhancing Community Resilience
• Expanding Preparedness for Response
• Innovation and Risk-Informed Development
• Mainstreaming DRR Within and Across Sectors – Focusing on Agriculture and Resilient Livelihoods

A total of 144 participants took part in the workshop, coming from, among others: UN agencies: FAO, UNDP, UNESCAP, WFP, WHO.
