====================================
Dear DMWG and Climate Change WG Colleagues

You have always fascinated us with your joint activities on disaster and 
climate resilience. On behalf of the co-organisers, I take this 
opportunity to share and invite interetsed member to join us on 30 
September at Hotel Melia. The subhect is Strengthening Disaster 
Resilience of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).

The National Business Forum on “Strengthening Disaster Resilience 
of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Viet Nam” is being 
co-organized by the Assistance Center for SME-North Viet Nam 
(TAC-Hanoi), Oxfam Viet Nam, The Asia Foundation and the iPrepare 
Business facility of ADPC under the regional project “Strengthening the 
Disaster Resilience of Small and Medium Enterprises in Asia” supported 
by Asian Development Bank (ADB), a fund financed by the Government of 
Canada, and the German Ministry for Economic Development and Cooperation 
(BMZ) through the Deutsche GesellschaftfürInternationaleZusammenarbeit 
GmbH (GIZ) within the framework of the Global Initiative on Disaster 
Risk Management (GIDRM). The key objectives are:

  * To emphasize the importance strengthening SME disaster resilience in
    promoting economic development and building resilient communities in
    Viet Nam
  * To share experiences and practices on initiatives on SME disaster
    resilience
  * To map out stakeholders and their planned, future and potential
    activities in implementing the roadmap process including
    potential small-scale pilot projects to support the strengthening
    SME disaster resilience in Viet Nam


Resilient Businesses (large corporations , SMEs and MSMEs) are crucial 
part of safer communities and societies. The long term economic 
efficiency of investment in disaster risk reduction has become very 
evident in recent years.
The iPrepareBusiness facility at ADPC with technical and financial 
support from GIZ, ADB and JICA focuses on to build disaster-resilient 
businesses in the region, by partnership to strengthen resilience of 
private sector ; providing technical assistance in strengthening 
resilience on a demand-driven basis; supporting governments in 
strengthening the enabling environment that promotes risk sensitive and 
informed investments by private sector and facilitating knowledge 
sharing at the regional and national level.

Kindly let us know if you can spend a day to learn and discuss with the 
public and private organisation on this topic. Appreciate your email at
