Aditi Sharan was a contributor to this project. It was a Joint Project of the University of Auckland, University of the Philippines Resilience Institute (Philippines), Resilience Development Initiative (Indonesia), University College London (UK), Samoa Fa’afafine Association (Samoa), NGO Edge Effect (Australia) and Gender and Disaster Network (GNDR). It was supported by the Swedish Government to the Strategic Collaborative Fund 2 managed by the Stockholm Environment Institute [Grant Number: 100040/10004002].
Under this project, a series of national events (both in person and online) were held in the Philippines and Indonesia and workshops were held online regionally for stakeholders including national diverse sexual orientations, gender identity/expression, and sexual characteristics (SOGIESC) CSOs, state institutions and NGOs working on gender, climate change and disasters. It focused on exploring collaborative measures to highlight the actions and contributions of people with diverse SOGIESC in disaster risk reduction (DRR) efforts.
