A2D Project regularly produces knowledge products and resources to help share our work to others and engage communities of practice in the exercise of mutual learning. Over the years, we have produced research reports, policy briefs, good practices documents, and other resources to build our knowledge base and share the stories of communities whom we have partnered with.
Breaking the Barriers to Inclusion: Promoting Disability-inclusive Disaster Risk Reduction through the Purok System in Tabogon, Northern Cebu
This documentation highlights the ENABLED Project’s good practices, impacts, and lessons learned for carrying out disability-inclusive disaster risk reduction for the purpose of sharing and disseminating its innovations to its partners and other DRR practitioners. Specifically, this report showcases the application of the Purok System, an internationally renowned participatory whole-of-community approach to DRR, as a strategy to mainstream disability inclusion in community-based disaster risk management.
Learning from Haiyan: Translating Children’s Voices into Action for Resilience
This documentation report highlights the results of the S3CDRRM Project and its impacts on partner communities; key strategies undertaken; and valuable lessons learned for making DRRM processes child-sensitive, if not, child-centered. The findings presented in this document are largely the outcomes of children’s committed participation in helping to rebuild their communities from the effects of Haiyan with the hope of instilling a culture of preparedness and resilience among each other. It is hoped that the experience of working with children, their schools, and their communities may bring forth similar initiatives that promote children’s rights to fully participate in disaster risk reduction, resilience-building, and development.
