analysis and the requirements at the respective DS divisional level. The complete
process of training CRF trainers is shown in the flowchart Fig. 13.2. Each CRF trainer
should be encouraged to complete a post-training reflective journal capturing lessons
learnt and challenges and participation in the post-training review and evaluation.
Hence, the complete process includes the following steps and products.
In order to become “CRF Trainers”, the following activities should be completed
by each CRF trainer.
I. Three days Community Resilience Framework Training attendance as a
participant.
II. Attending two days of Facilitation Skills Training as a participant.
III. Facilitating at least one session in the first or second cascade training.
IV. Evidence of involvement in the fieldwork during and/or after the first and second
cascade training programs.
V. Completing a post-training reflective journal, capturing lessons learnt and
challenges
VI. Participation in the post-training review and evaluation.
Based on the training strategy and lessons from the CRF implementation by
DIPECHO, a set of steps are proposed to train a number of government staff
members from the Divisional Secretariate Divisions [DSD] and Grama Niladari Divisions [GND] who have been selected for implementation of CRF. Government staff
members who were trained by Master Trainers undertook the development of “Participatory Disaster Risk Assessment” and “Risk Sensitive Village/City Development
Plans” once they completed two levels of CRF training.
At the end of the process, Risk Sensitive—Village Development Plan (RS-VDP)
was produced for each of the village/city (GND) which is the lowest administrative
level in Sri Lanka. The outcome of this process is twofold. One side, it is aimed at
building the capacity of the key government staff members who can train their subordinates, on the other side, trained government staff members responsible for the
village/city facilitate the participatory risk assessment and planning were headed by
the respective communities. The government staff members completing the process
of attending the two levels of training programs and subsequently implementing
fieldwork were certified as CRF Facilitators. This includes key staff members who
are responsible for the village/city divisions so that after attending the training they
facilitate the participatory risk assessment and planning in their respective lower
level administrative division.
It is recommended to select the following key staff members for the cascade
training programs in districts: Grama Niladari (GN) who is the village administrator
of selected GN divisions, Economic Development Officer (EDO) of the selected GN
divisions, Samurdi Development Officer (SDO) of the selected GN divisions and
any other state official responsible for the respective village or city division. Preparation of PDRA and Risk—Sensitive Village/City Development Plan was done by
the communities under the facilitation and collaboration of trained CRF Facilitators.
