Dear All,
I have been recently appointed to act as National Advisory Board IEC's short-term Coordination Consultant. Within the timeframe allocated (30 working days) for the job I will be coordinating, on behalf of NAB, the IEC work supported by GIZ.
As you are all aware that since May this year, the chairmen and members of the NACCC and NTF have agreed to merge their structure and activities under one single body now called the National Advisory Board on CC & DRR. The concept of NAB looks into the integration of climate change and disaster risk reduction acitivities which will enable us to work more effeciently utilizing limited resources and to encourage all implementing partners both NGOs and government institutions to work together and avoid duplication of activities as the country strive to implement its key national priorities on CC and DRR issues.
The National Advisory Board has now also put in place a portal with the steering support from the GIZ. over the next 30 days i will:
-
work very closely with the members of the NAB IEC working group
-
will try to get as much feedback as possible from the working group to put in place an agreed IEC material endorsement and approval process of the NAB
-
protection of intellectuall property rights of the IEC material designed and produced in the country.
-
get feedback regarding the use and function of NAB portal from multiple individuals in key CC &DRR agencies
-
facilicate an output oriented discussion among stakeholders on the possible transformation of the IEC working to a working group on climate and disaster awareness, training and education that will involves NGOs, government agencies, education stakesholders, that is harmonized with the existing Disaster Education Cluster.
-
ensure that the views and feedback on the accessibility and the use of NAB protal is gender oriented.
I would like to invite you all to come attend the first planning meeting which will take place at the VMGD conference room on thursday 23rd August, 2012.
Time: 9.00 am - 11.00 am
Your participation will be highly appreciated as it will be an opportunity for all to get a broad overview of what is expected to be achieved over the next 30 days.
it will be an opportunity to understand:
- the role and function of the NAB Portal
- what is needed from the IEC working groups
- put in place a work plan so that by the end of the day, all existing IEC materials are stored into the NAB portal.
Kind Regards
Paolo Malatu
