00:00In the third day of the ASEAN Ministerial Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction,

00:04one of the topics discussed was the so-called Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction.

00:10This is an agreement between the countries to mitigate the effects of calamity,

00:17to provide proper response, and to strengthen the ability of the affected by the disaster.

00:22The details are in the report of Benji Durango.

00:27In 2015, the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction was adopted.

00:33This is a global agreement between the countries to mitigate the effects of calamity.

00:37The Sendai Framework has four key priorities that should be identified by the countries involved in this.

00:431. Identifying the calamities.

00:452. Proper governance.

00:463. Strengthening the ability and preparedness.

00:48In addition to the seven global targets for a country to be considered disaster resilient,

00:52the Sendai Framework will reduce the negative effects of calamities on people, infrastructure,

00:56awareness of calamities, international cooperation, implementation of disaster risk management,

01:01and the establishment of a community.

01:03The UNDRR convened three times this year.

01:07This was done here in the Philippines as the first regional platform

01:11to adopt the political declaration of the Sendai Framework Mid-Term Review.

01:15We have many different situations that come and impact the way

01:23that when a disaster happens, how we can build resilience or how we can recover.

01:31We as a sector need to have more conversations like this

01:35to create more spaces where diverse voices can be heard.

01:40As a part of the Asia-Pacific region that is often hit by disasters such as earthquakes,

01:44typhoons, and volcanic eruptions,

01:46the Philippines considers the Watchtower of Disaster Risk Reduction.

01:50The convention was held historically in the Philippines

01:52because this is where implementation, policy dialogue, knowledge sharing, advocacy, and mobilization are planned.

01:58This is the first regional convention.

02:01Twenty-one town hall discussions were held at the PICC.

02:04One of the discussions was on gender equality.

02:06Problems and solutions that women face every time there is a disaster were highlighted.

02:11Aside from ensuring their safety,

02:13they should also face their challenges before, during, and after the disaster.

02:18This is where the Sendai Gender Action Plan comes in.

02:20Proactive government is one of the solutions.

02:24Our country remains predominantly on reactive disaster response,

02:29embracing the dependence on relief goods and provisionary assistance.

02:34As a result, the economic, mobility, and sustainable development are sacrificed.

02:41For example, when there are evacuations,

02:43disaster risk reduction efforts should be gender responsive.

02:47It's a good idea, but it's still new for us.

02:50We don't necessarily know yet how to be gender responsive in terms of, to be really gender responsive.

02:58In the Asia-Pacific nations, Fiji has a clear gender inclusivity when it comes to disaster response.

03:04There are five ways in which disaster risk reduction in Fiji can be gender sensitive.

03:09It can be applied in the country.

03:11The Philippines has not yet adopted it, but it is unlikely to happen.

03:14We focus on ensuring that everyone, especially the most vulnerable,

03:20can experience equitable safety and dignity before, during, and even after disasters.
