The International Institute of Rural Reconstruction (IIRR) (www.iirr.org) is a community development and hands-on training and research organization with 55 years of experience. IIRR has implemented people-centered, sustainable development programs in Africa, Latin America and Asia. Today, it maintains a strong presence in East Africa and Southeast Asia implementing programs that are locally-relevant, tailored, and community-driven. IIRR’s Headquarters and Regional Centre for Asia are located in the Philippines. It is one of the few international organizations registered in the United States with headquarters in Asia.
IIRR in collaboration with the Humanitarian Leadership Academy (www.humanitarianleadershipacademy.org) is organizing a 1-day round table discussion in New Delhi, India on April 10, 2017. We will send the exact venue later when we finalized the program and participants.
The title of the RTD is “Promoting Local Innovations in Disaster Risk Reduction and Management in India”. This is an intimate RTD of just 15-20 selected local NGOs in India actively working and leading disaster risk reduction and management in the country. The objectives of the RTD are as follows:
- Surface good practices in DRR and disaster management that local NGOs are doing in India;
- Identify areas for capacity development that will strengthen further the quality of local DRR and disaster management programs in the country; and
- Discuss possible areas of collaboration and partnership work in India with IIRR and the Humanitarian Leadership Academy.

If you are interested to participate, please send an email to wilsonjohn.barbon@iirr.org or annie.secretario@iirr.org on or before April 1, 2017. Seats are limited so send them as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, the organizers cannot cover travel and accommodation of participants. We will be providing a venue, some materials and meals during the one-day RTD.
