Ekacdm Project The ‘Enhancing Knowledge and Application of Comprehensive Disaster Management (EKACDM Initiative)?

The ‘Enhancing Knowledge and Application of Comprehensive Disaster Management (EKACDM Initiative)’ is a five-year Project whose ultimate outcome is the implementation of the CARICOM Enhanced Comprehensive Disaster Management (CDM) Framework (2007) to reduce the impacts of natural and technological hazards, and the effect of climate change, on men, women, and children in the region. The Initiative,

which commenced in September 2013, will establish an effective mechanism and programme to manage knowledge in CDM, which is Priority Outcome 2 of the CDM Strategy of the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA). This project is funded by the Government of Canada-Global Affairs Canada (GAC). There are three key outcomes of the Initiative:
The creation of a regional network which generates, manages, and disseminates knowledge on disaster management, including gender issues;
The increased use of standardised training materials for University degree courses and for short courses for students, professionals and others employed in the field; and
The establishment of mechanisms to mainstream fact-based decision-making and policies on CDM into key economic sectors and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the region.
