Today marks the start of “DRRM For All: Advancing Gender-Inclusive Disaster Resilience,” a three-day activity being held on November 20–22, 2025 at The Lanang Suites, Davao City. Serving as the pre-phase of the full training module on DRRM–GAD Mainstreaming, this initiative lays the foundation for the development of a comprehensive Community-Based Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (CBDRRM) Module.
Led by DILG Davao Occidental, the activity brings together participants from the Provincial Government and all municipalities in the province. At the heart of the discussions is the commitment to ensuring that no one is left behind—a principle reflected in the continuing shift from simply integrating gender perspectives into DRRM to fully mainstreaming them across local systems, programs, and interventions.
This undertaking is part of the Operation Listo Program funded by the Local Government Academy (LGA). Through this effort, DILG Davao Occidental reinforces its dedication to building safer, more inclusive, and more resilient communities by empowering local governments to adopt gender-responsive and people-centered approaches in disaster resilience.
