My internship had two main objectives: one was to share the results of my questionnaire survey that was done with Residential and Welfare Associations (RWAs) groups on community action planning for disaster risk reduction in East Delhi; the second objective was to develop a multi-stakeholder initiative for disaster risk reduction in East Delhi. For first objective, results of analyses were shared through meetings with key officials from Delhi Government; Hon. Member of Parliament (MP) of East Delhi; and RWAs. For second objective, a multi-stakeholders workshop was conducted. It was organized by National Alliance for Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction (NAADRR) with the technical support from Kyoto University. The key officials from Disaster Management Authority; RWAs; Hospitals, local NGOs were invited and consulted during the workshop. A multi-stakeholders forum for disaster risk reduction was launched based on my previous study. The forum will have periodic meeting and self-empower communities through knowledge sharing. It will have a training wing that will guide, train, and strengthen communities for better preparedness for disaster situation in East Delhi.
