disasters and ensuring rights of disaster vulnerable people. In the project, REFLECT
is being applied as the community mobilization and empowerment tool to generate
participation and grassroots ownership.
AAN has started applying REFLECT in disaster related issues, utilizing its inherent
strength to mobilize and empower and empower the vulnerable groups, linking their
struggle to cope with disasters to their ability to access and exercise their human

evalutaion format. At the last day, last session, the participants were divided in two
group and evaluated the strength and area of improvement of the 8 days long
training and enlisted below.

CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATION
Training is said to be successful and effective when its learning are practised in
ground realities. Training helps to reveal bitter realities and sufferings of
community, helps to achieve specific goals and reach to set destination.
As participants are representing right holders, issues raised by them will contribute
greatly for achieving desired goals. The change in attitude and behaviour of
participants was also remarkable. According to reflect and popular education
concept for gearing up people's standard of living and livelihood and to carry out
the campaign on disaster affected community, strong determination of partner
organization is a must. Likewise, continual co-working and regular monitoring is
also required. Participatory vulnerability Analysis training will more focus on
5
6. participatory tools and procedure and its practical exercise. It is believed that the
practice of participatory tools and procedure help to raise reality based issues.
It is expected that partner organizations will help to make available resource
materials like books, audio-visuals, posters, pamphlets, international treaties,
declarations, constitution, rules and regulations in regards to disaster management
to use as reference materials while facilitating reflect centres. Similarly,
environment will be created to make aware about citizens' rights. It is also believed
all partner organizations will pay special attention on regular monitoring,
disseminating information which help to make the reflect effective and solving
problems tactful.
For operating campaign only training is not effective but the continual comments
and complements on the issues raised to boost self confidence and spirit of disaster
affected and suffered people. Therefore, monthly interaction between support
organization and facilitator is to be managed for better activation. It will be more
effective and helpful to raise issues by organizing regular meeting and interactions
with facilitators, reflect circle support committees. After the interval of 4-6months,
refresher training if organized will be fruitful.
Finally, training was able to incorporate disaster issues along with conceptual
framework of REFLECT. Expectations and curiosities of participants were given
priorities. All facilitators had played vital role in order to make the training effective
and successful. In totality, training was found to be effective and fruitful.
Understanding of participants on the contents of discussion was changed
throughout the training period. Their confidence in later presentations was
encouraging.

widespread human, material or environmental losses, which exceed the
ability of the affected communities to cope using their own resources.
Disaster occurs when the negative effects of hazards are not well managed.

economic, social, physical or geographic nature, which reduce the ability of a
community to prepare for and cope with the impact of hazards

• The realm of Development and disaster – if not planned properly,
development can invite disaster or increases vulnerability and disaster also
results in development in its aftermath
• Stop, stem, resist and flee – preventive measures and minimization
