01.01.2016

The Asia-Pacific is one of the most natural disaster prone regions in the world.

Since April 2013, a Regional Disaster Risk Reduction & Rapid Response (RR) Advisor is based in Bangkok, which is the regional hub in terms of DRR and logistically ideally placed for a stand-by presence for rapid response in the region. With evolution of the program and tasks, the Advisor is being supported by an additional Regional DRR Advisor since January 2015. The team is tasked with (1) supporting SDC’s programs in DRR mainstreaming and implementing targeted DRR projects, (2) supporting Swiss Cooperation Offices and Embassies in the field of rapid response and (3) reinforce policy dialogue and networking with key humanitarian actors in the region. The current proposal includes the costs for the Advisors as well as for programmatic activities within the frame of the mandate.
