1 COMPREHENSIVE DISASTER MANAGEMENT COORDINATION AND HARMONISATION COUNCIL (CDM CHC) Terms of Reference for the Development and Installation of a Website for the Civil Society Sub-sector Committee (CSSSC) of the Comprehensive Disaster management CIVIL SOCIETY SUB-SECTOR COMMITTEE (CSSSC) Coordination and Harmonisation Council (CDM CHC) 1. Background: The Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA) is an institution of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and was established to address matters significant to disaster management within the Caribbean region. CDEMA is constituted of eighteen (18) Participating States- countries and territories that are signatory to the agreement establishing CDEMA. CDEMA and its partners- inclusive of Participating States, development agencies and sector partners- maintain a continuing collaboration to advance Comprehensive Disaster Management (CDM) in the Region. The Enhanced Comprehensive Disaster Management Strategy , which was developed through a broad stakeholder consultation process and adopted by regional disaster management partners, was approved by the CDEMA (then CDERA) 1 Board and Council of Ministers in May and June 2007 respectively. The purpose of the Enhanced CDM Strategy is to strengthen regional and community level capacity for mitigation, management and coordinated response to natural and technological hazards and the effects of climate change in the Caribbean. This is to be achieved by fulfilling four (4) Outcome-level results: 1) Outcome 1: Enhanced institutional support for CDM Program implementation at national and regional levels; 2) Outcome 2: Establishment of an effective mechanism and programme for management of CDM knowledge; 3) Outcome 3: Disaster Risk Management mainstreamed at national levels and incorporated into key sectors of national economies; 4) Outcome 4: Enhanced community resilience in CDEMA member states to mitigate and respond to the adverse effects of climate change and disasters. A copy of the Enhanced Comprehensive Disaster Management Strategy may be found at Following the endorsement of the Enhanced CDM Strategy, the 2007 Partners Consultation on CDM proposed that a CDM Governance Mechanism should be established, the purpose of which would be to address governance of the implementation process within the context of stakeholder management. The establishment of a CDM Coordination and Harmonization Council (CHC) is an outcome of this process. The Civil Society Sector Sub-Committee (CSSSC) is a sector-specific subgrouping of the CHC. The following is a summary of the functions which the Sub-Committee is to perform: 1 Originally the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Response Agency (CDERA), it transitioned to the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA) on September 1, All previous agreements with CDERA transition to CDEMA. 2 Disaster management stakeholders in the Caribbean are currently developing the next iteration of the regional CDM Strategy which will span a period of ten (10) years Page 1 of 6
2 (i) To provide overall guidance at the Civil Society sector level to facilitate the mainstreaming of CDM at the national and regional levels. (ii) To facilitate effective coordination and harmonization of CDM implementation at the Civil Society sector level (iii) To articulate priority CDM results for the sector (iv) Provide technical input to harmonize sector work programmes towards the achievement of the prioritized CDM results. (v) Agree on and utilize a mechanism for monitoring, evaluating and reporting on CDM implementation at the sector level (vi) Report on progress towards the achievement of results identified in the mainstreaming of CDM at the sector level. (vii) Identify challenges and gaps regarding the implementation of CDM at the sector level. (viii) Discuss and address any other issue(s) pertinent to the good governance and sustainability of CDM implementation at the sector level. (ix) Identify opportunities for inter- and intra-sectoral linkages to avoid duplication of work and ensure efforts are complimentary. (x) Nurture opportunities for synergies between development partner representatives, CDEMA Participating States, private sector, civil society and other relevant stakeholders responsible for mainstreaming of the enhanced CDM strategy at the sector level. Outcome 4 of the Enhanced CDM Strategy specifically relates to the work of the CSSSC. While there is considerable support in the Region for community-based approaches to reduce disaster risk, there remains a significant gap between the problems associated with increasing community vulnerability and the capacities of various civil society organizations mandated to address these issues. As a result, there is need for much more involvement from civil society organizations in DRM and an increased focus on a bottom-up approach that incorporates the assistance of community-level groups,. 2. The Project To achieve its objectives, the CSSSC must ensure that engages with its public and constituents in a meaningful, measurable way, and that it has a strong, consistent and positive image. In keeping with the thrust of improving the visibility and outreach of the organization to achieve its mandate, the CSSSC is seeking to establish a website. The website will serve as a vehicle for engagement, participation and feedback, a formal communication channel, and an information resource. It will enable a deeper involvement of committee members, civil society and the public in disaster management and inform and educate stakeholders and the public of the Sub-Committee s activities, projects and a range of accomplishments. With respect to the CSSSC s governance mandate, the website is intended to facilitate easy access to, and retrieval of, information to support the expeditious and timely processing of documents and other resources. It is in this regard that the Committee is seeking to engage the services of a consultant(s) to develop a website to (i) facilitate timely dissemination of information, and easy access to document resources; (ii) provide a means of engagement of stakeholders; and (iii) offer e- learning resources for disaster risk reduction and awareness building. The website development approach will be based upon Open Source software that is supported by a Page 2 of 6
3 global community of developers, thereby providing competitive cost-effectiveness, and broad support of the code, of ongoing maintenance and of further development- in order to avoid the constraints of proprietary coding. The project will comprise several Open Source modules, with each module having several components. Components Repository of Resources Sharing of resource documents with the public that can either be read on screen or downloaded (PDF downloads and other electronic publication formats; screen can be an e-paper format). Resources include among other things, research papers, reports, surveys, assessments, presentations, etc. and as a pilot module the Disaster Imagination Game as an interactive e-learning pilot. The DIG is eventually to be converted into an interactive e-game. Built into the search and delivery software, to enable access to the repository of resources, will be a system to track what resources are being accessed and for what purposes. This allows for the tracking of the usefulness of the repository. Virtual Collaboration Document sharing and review The CSSSC will provide a gatekeeper function to vet which documents are loaded into the system. For this purpose, CSSSC members will require a basic means to upload documents to the Resource Library and generally manage content. This component includes online discussion and sharing on issues. This would be facilitated for public participants who have registered for membership, and for CSSSC internal discussions and could be potentially linked to a walled garden customized social networksuch as can be built, for example, with ning.com- as a module of the website s functionality and features. This component will also include a FAQ store and a pilot course of an automated self-learning module (DIG). This component allows for effective and expeditious reporting and follow-up between the CSSSC, its networks and the public. As a result, the information is expected to be managed in three tiers: The first tier relates to documents that are specifically for the CSSSC members. The second tier relates to documents that involve the Sub-Committee s networks (members of the associations represented by CSSSC members) and other selected organisations and the third tier relates to documents that aim to sensitise the public on key development issues in disaster management and other related information. The document sharing functionality will be introduced consecutively as Tier 1, followed by Page 3 of 6
4 E- Learning for delivery of Community Based Disaster Management materials (CBDM ). Online register linked to increased access to resources Tier 2 and Tier 3. This mechanism will be used for the delivery of Community-Based Disaster Management capacity building through e-learning (for example webinars and live streaming of speakers and conferences and other training workshops). The aim is to build the capabilities of Caribbean civil society for Disaster Preparedness and Response. Database of regional and national NGOs and persons trained in disaster management. 3.
