Overview
The governments of the Philippines and Germany are committed to mainstreaming gender in government processes. ISET was commissioned to review whether and how effectively that was being done within local government disaster and climate change planning, and to make recommendations on how to strengthen the methodology and guidelines.
What we delivered
Working together with our partners, ISET has refined the PERC methodology and conducted over 12 post-event reviews for floods and wildfire, in both urban and rural settings and in global contexts ranging from least- to most-developed. The methodology is currently being expanded to include reviews of extreme heat events.
ISET has also contributed to several summary reports that bring together insights from across multiple PERCs to inform disaster resilience globally, and has published learning from across the PERCs both in the gray literature and in peer-reviewed publications and books.
Highlights
- GIZ singled out the McGinn & Venkateswaran (2020) paper for particular praise, and it is used as a global best practice model for gender mainstreaming in DRR worldwide.
