Regional Workshops
Initial regional workshop
The Regional Planning Workshop for the DIPECHO 2011-2012 for the Caribbean (24-25 October 2011, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic) was an initial consultation for the implementation of the Action Plan. DIPECHO partners came together with regional and national counterparts (41 participants) to explain their actions and find areas of possible synergies, coordination and harmonization between regional and national projects, partners and existing initiatives in disaster risk reduction.
It enabled national and regional partners to coordinate efforts, program common activities and exchange experiences, tools and individual work plans to foster the harmonization of practices, work towards strengthening existing initiatives and propose common actions at the regional and national levels within the DIPECHO framework.
The Caribbean Regional Planning Workshop had the following main objective: - To share information and establish coordination mechanisms among relevant authorities, national and regional DIPECHO partners and other relevant counterparts enabling a more efficient and effective implementation of the 2011-2012 DIPECHO Action Plan for the Caribbean. - As an initial consultation workshop it sought to allow leveraging opportunities to foster collaboration among DIPECHO projects through the alignment and harmonization of their individual work plans.
