Action Workshop 2008 Implementation Issues of TIK What to transfer (Principles and Methodology) • How to transfer • Documentation • On-site visit • DRH database • Workshops • Internal, external facilitation • Link to modern technology Whom to transfer (Vulnerable Communities, Policy makers) Transferability of TIK • Who to transfer • -Community leaders • External Facilitators For Hydro-meteorological disasters, focus on climate change adaptation

  11. Action Workshop 2008 TIK Classification • Five thematic areas • Mountain Ecosystem • Coastal Zone Management • Integrated Water Resource Management • Arid land management • River basin management • Housing and Shelter • Two types of TIK • Based on technology • Based on belief systems • Three phases of Disaster Cycle • Pre-disaster • During disaster • Post-disaster Post-disaster During-disaster Pre-disaster

  12. Action Workshop 2008 TIK in Education • Cross-discipline collaboration • Civil society: Document and analyze • Education and Research Community: Validation and analyze • Policy maker: Policy decision • Regional and International organization: Policy advocacy • Steps (not necessarily in the order of appearance) • Education: link to curriculum • Policy: regional, national and local advocacy and decision • Pilot: Implementation and validation

  13. IK and DRR Policy Issues • Critical Entry Points • Priority Thematic areas • Climate change and food security • Rural development • Urban Risk reduction • Gender and inclusion • Policy Tools • Research, documentation • Education • Advocacy • Institutional Framework • Action Agenda • Establishment of a resource group • Documentation and research • Education • Policy advocacy • Enabling environment • Change agents • Special focus areas
