1. Program Overview
PEER has two objectives as follows:
PEER Objective 1: Community Action for Disaster Response (CADRE): Establish a system for enhanced community level first responder capacity in disaster–prone communities in PEER‟s six
core countries (Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Nepal, Pakistan, and the Philippines) with expansion to Cambodia, Lao
PDR and Vietnam (nine countries in total for PEER 3).
Please note: This is the ARC-supplementary funded component of PEER
PEER Objective 2: Hospital Preparedness for Emergencies (HOPE):
Continuation of the Hospital Preparedness for Emergencies (HOPE) courses in the six PEER countries and extension of
the HOPE courses to the three new PEER countries (Cambodia, Lao PDR, and Vietnam).
Please note: This is the USAID-OFDA funded component of PEER
ARC funded programs are channeled into Objective 1 – CADRE – so the reporting for PEER to ARC will focus here on
CADRE program developments – although where applicable, and where necessary to give complete program context,
HOPE program developments may also be reported.
For CADRE component of PEER the Program Targets are as follows:
Key targets:
1) To develop a current and relevant curriculum that develops the core capability and competences of non- professional
response personnel in communities in the six PEER countries
2) To develop training processes to effectively deliver the training program through sustainable training methodology,
which incorporates best practice adult learning principles and self-evaluation?
3) To establish a core group of instructors who are capable of delivering the training materials, training new instructors,
undertaking self-evaluation, and revising the training materials and processes in the light of self evaluation and ongoing
experiences
4) To develop advocacy and awareness raising initiatives aimed at policy-makers, general public and donors

challenge for both ADPC Cambodia and CRC., but
training in communities carried out as scheduled
The CADRE target deliverables for Cambodia is only
up to the 2 pilot communities. Considering the
momentum initiated at the 2 pilot communities and
interest from CRC, need to explore more funding to
expand CADRE to other communities and engage
graduates in refresher activities like simulation
exercise.
CRCS does not have any training related to SAR and
MCI in which CADRE can contribute and “add value”
at community level. These are new skills for CRCS.
India India Country Planning Meeting (CPM) took place:

A meeting with IFRC took place. IFRC in South
Asia will provide useful guidance and advice on
how to deal with Indian RC so as not to alienate
them from the program. This is somewhat sensitive
as the Indian RC Secretary General is a former
official from MoH and senior to Dr. Ravindran.
PEER is seeking support for both CADRE and
HOPE.

Management. Additional program management
activities may need to be undertaken, to connect with
the new NDMA director under new management
structure, and ensure support for PEER.
Security situation in Pakistan is a concern for training
location and instructors travelling from outside
Pakistan.
Natural disasters – particularly the floods in 2010 and
2011 proved a challenge for program
implementation.
Leahy Vetting is necessary for participants coming
from the Military Collage or Pakistan Army.
Philippines BFP-Silay have conducted the standard CADRE
course for school children and youth. / have finished
the training for “Youth Program” of the Department
of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).

implementing CADRE
National pilot conducted in Bacolod. Conducted 2
rounds of TFI-IW, followed by additional CADRE
National Course and TFI-IW in Oct 2010
MOU Agreement signed by Sec Gen Pang with
Catherine Martin and Leonardo Ebajo as the
designated focal points. Plan to integrate CADRE
into the existing PNRC volunteer 143 program in
the community is underway
Recent disasters in Philippines have led to pressure
on partner resources of PNRC and OCD – currently
committed to disaster response and recovery
initiatives
Challenges in maintaining central oversight of the
CADRE program in Philippines, since it is being
implemented in various ways and proving to be
highly usable and adaptive in many contexts. This is
positive development of institutionalization, but also
a challenge for program management.
Vietnam CADRE Community training and TFI will
commence in Feb 2012. ARC Vietnam in
association with German Red Cross will implement
CADRE instructors‟ courses and community courses
in Vietnam, with ADPC providing materials,
monitoring and technical assistance. The original
financial allocation for training pilot communities
will be used for translating the materials and ARC
agreed to take over the cost of actual courses in the
country.
ADPC is supporting/managing the translation of
other CADRE training materials into Vietnamese
Some pressure on scheduling, since there is a
requirement for CADRE roll out in Vietnam in the
forthcoming 2 months. This is being effectively
handled by ADPC PEER team.

Current Accomplishments during this Reporting Quarter:
CADRE Bangladesh Community Courses
Dates: 16 - 18 November 2011 in Paikpara, Sirajgonj District
21 to 23 November 2011in Narinda district, Dhaka City.
Participants:
Rural Community: There were 26 participants from the rural community, 24 of which are Community Disaster Response Team
Member of Bangladesh Red Crescent Society BDRCS, who were invited to attend by BDRCS and two Firemen from Sirajgonj fire
station. In total there were 12 men and 14 women participants.
Urban Community: There were 24 participants all of which are community members. In total there were 18 men and 6 women
participants
Instructors: Seven in total; three Master Instructors from the Fire Service and Civil Defense (FSCD) accompanied by four CADRE
National Course TFI & TFI-IW graduates (from September 2011 training in Dhaka) of which three were from BDRCS and one from
FSCD.
Review and Outcomes:
All the participants completed the course successfully. The Bangladesh version (in Bengali) has been adapted and translated since the
National CADRE Course was conducted in September 2011. The translated CADRE course-book was used for the community-level
training. This was the introduction of new type of course through CADRE and both the participants and the national instructors
enjoyed the training.
The course implementations demonstrated the incorporation of locally available equipments as well as traditional and improvised
techniques show how CADRE can be easily locally adapted, to make the training more acceptable at the community level.

Participants:
Rural community: There were 23 participants (5 Women) for the rural community- from five Cambodia Red Cross branches and
mostly lived in the community.
Urban community: There were 24 participants (5 women) participants coming from six Cambodia Red Cross branches.
Review and Outcomes:
The 2 CADRE courses were concluded with 46 participants successfully completing the courses. The course is very new to the
participants who come from the various communities, yet they were active and participated in all activities, learning effectively all the
new skills and techniques. They are confident to apply this new knowledge in their communities and to pass on their knowledge to
their neighbours.
Some challenges were encountered with Instructors, since it was the first course for all instructors and they lacked experience in
lecture theories and practical exercises. Course Coordinator, experienced instructors and Course Monitor supported the newer
instructors. The participant workbook is translated into Khmer in a draft version, which needs shaping up to better convey information
in the lessons, avoiding misunderstanding of meaning and some errors of words which can affect the course. ADPC staff and local
instructors are now working to improve the participants‟ workbook in Khmer translation.
Cambodia was strongly affected by river flood before and during the course, 18 provinces among 24 were flooded so it was difficult to
travel to attend the course for participants, where their home vicinity was experiencing flooding. Initially, 15 people were unable join
the first course and 10 people not able to make second course (conducted in 3 days following the first course). Fortunately additional
participants were able to join the courses. The recommendation was that course implementation should avoid the rainy season in the
provinces located along the Tonlesap river – which is a hazard for flooding.
CADRE Indonesia National Pilot Course and Adaptation Workshop TFI-IW
Dates: 21 November-4 December 2011
Location: Fire Training Services Jakarta
15
Participants:
There were 24 participants from many organizations such as, Indonesia Red Cross, Fire Service, 118 Ambulance Service,
Muhammadiyah, Search &Rescue Services, and Christian Organization. 1 person failed due to health reason, 22 persons successful up
to TFI and 1 person got only CADRE.
The National CADRE course was conducted in Bahasa Indonesia, which had previously been translated, in association with Ambulan
118. In addition, all the course materials are also translated. This was a significant contribution to the success of the course. .
Instructors for the CADRE National Course all had TFI in CADRE or TFI and experience in PEER training –Medical First Response
(MFR). The experienced and skilled Instructors came from ADPC, Fire Service, Red Cross, 118 Ambulance, and 1 regional monitor
from the Philippines.
For this National CADRE course, of the 24 participants who attended this course; 1 person failed, 22 were successful in CADRE Basic and
able to continue up to TFI, of which all 22 passed, 1 person failed due to ill-health.
to the immediate future plan for CADRE Indonesia (date TBC April 2012) is to hold CADRE at Merapi Village, Jogyakarta –
Central Java for the rural area. Partial Funding with other NGOs who have interest in this area is currently also being sought in
association with Ambulan 118. The team plans to set up this training simultaneously with the local HOPE Course to benefit the
provincial-level response coordination and also to significantly reduce the budget for the combined training, because of travel costs
and other logistical expenses

ADPC to submit required documentation and revised Program Agreement for PEER Thailand proposal
PEER Thailand:
Ongoing planning and program amendments / liaison were underway throughout this reporting period, for Program Extension to
PEER Thailand for both CADRE and HOPE in four flood-affected provinces of Thailand.
A PEER Program Proposal Amendment has been submitted to USAID-OFDA – proposing a program extension to Thailand. A
decision is pending at time of writing.
From January 2010, PEER intends to establish partnerships with the Host Government of Thailand specifically with the Department of
Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM) from the Ministry of Interior and the Emergency Medical Institute of Thailand (EMIT)
under the Ministry of Public Health. The ADPC PEER team will also engage other stakeholders such as the Thai Red Cross Society,
Bangkok Metropolitan Authority (BMA), WHO, Provincial Health Offices and Provincial Authority Offices.
At the outset of PEER implementation in Thailand, PEER Team will visit the relevant organizations and communities to document
lessons learned and best practices. Many of the flood response experiences in Thailand, from communities and hospitals / healthcare
facilities were positive. The existing PEER implementation strategy will be further strengthened by building on the positive
experiences and learning from Thailand flood in 2011. Utilizing secondary data, the PEER team jointly with the partners will conduct
16
vulnerability assessment of flood affected provinces and vulnerable areas of Bangkok city (Bangkok Metropolitan Authority BMA
area) and will identify four provinces to implement PEER. The CADRE component of PEER in Thailand is proposing to enhance
capacity building of first responders in 16 Tambons in four Provinces.
TBC for commencement in January 2012.
