Tashkent
October 27, 2009 (TBC)
UNISDR Sub-Regional Office for Central Asia and UNICEF Regional Office for Central and Eastern
Europe and Commonwealth of Independent States (CEE/CIS) announced a Call for “Collection of Good
Practices and Tools on Disaster Risk Reduction in Education (DRRE) from within Central Asia” (called
Knowledge Management Initiative).
The overall objective of this Initiative is to identify, compile, systematize and disseminate selected good
practices and tools on DRR in education, thus raising the awareness of and contributing to the knowledge
management of relevant resources that already exist in the region. The collected information and materials
will be directly relevant for interventions in the education sector. A particularly relevant and important
objective of the activity is to develop and disseminate the outcomes, as a practical reference material. The
Initiative was launched in July 2009 with the deadline for submission of applications on October 10, 2009.
The process of collection materials including sharing application procedures for respective materials,
providing feedback information, as well as receiving, preliminary filtering and systematizing of the accepted
materials is undertaken by the Technical Assistant, as specified in the Concept Note for the Knowledge
Management Initiative. After the deadline, all submitted materials will be systematized and prepared for a
detailed review and evaluation, which will be carried out by a Review Group.
Review Group (RG)
The RG will consist of 5 independent members – experts and specialists from different republics of Central
Asia with relevant background and wide professional experience on DRR.
RG will ensure high quality evaluation, objectiveness and equity in the decision-making while identifying
the best submitted materials, the authors of which will be provided an opportunity to present their
achievements at the Regional Conference tentatively scheduled for early December 2009.
The Review Group will also take the final decision on the contributions that will be included in the
Compendium of Good Practices and Tools on DRRE. The Compendium will then be disseminated across the
CA region (and globally) trough UNISDR and UNICEF and their partners.
The final list of RG members, who were selected and approved by UNISDR and UNICEF, is the following:

Upon the closure of submission period (after 10 October 2009), RG members will be provided with
electronic versions of the submitted materials. This will be done so that the RG members thoroughly review
and familiarize themselves with the submitted materials before the RG Meeting takes place where final
decisions will be taken.
A Standard Evaluation Form will be developed considering the specific requirements indicated in the
Instruction on submission of applications. Evaluation form will have a scoring scale with the total score
indication. RG members will have to use this form during their meeting and fill out one such evaluation form
for each one of the submitted materials. The RG member who filled out the respective evaluation form will
then have to sign it accordingly. Two representatives from UNISDR and two from UNICEF will also
participate in the meeting, and will have to fill out Evaluation Forms as well.
Thus, there will be a total number of 9 votes for taking a final decision on any of the applications submitted.
RG Meeting
The RG Meeting for selection of best contributions will take place in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, on October 2728, 2009 (TBC), at the venue identified and arranged by UNICEF Uzbekistan. Sharing of respective costs
will be carried out in accordance with the Note for Record and Budget approved and signed by UNISDR
