  • The Compact for Young People in Humanitarian Action

    What concrete actions have you taken in support of the initiative.

    Post-WHS, ASEAN saw the long-awaited partnership between the ASEAN Humanitarian Assistance Centre (AHA), which is the regional coordinating body for national disaster agencies, and the volunteers of Committee for ASEAN Youth Cooperation (CAYC), which is the regional coordinating body for national youth councils. Through a new platform called the ASEAN Youth Network for DRR (AYN-DRR), ASEAN youth are now involved in the regional discourse of disaster management from public information to capacity building and deployment. One of the key points of collaboration is through the ASEAN-Emergency Rapid Assessment Team, which was “envisioned to strengthen ASEAN’s preparedness and capacity to respond to disasters, and ensure the rapid and collective deployment of ASEAN’s resources following a major disaster in one or more Member States within the ASEAN region.” The main objective of this Induction Course is to prepare regional responders, including youth volunteers, with technical skills and knowledge in emergency management and coordination in ASEAN.
