The way forward
The CBDP model developed with the Cambodian
Red Cross Society will be used to expand the
programme to other provinces.
The sustainability of the programme is a key
consideration. The aim is to hand the programme
over to the local authorities so that they can carry
forward activities with some support from
Cambodian Red Cross Society branches (e.g., local
authorities could facilitate the updating of risk
reduction plans and submit them to branches for
fund-raising).
Based on its CBDP programme experiences, the
Cambodian Red Cross Society has devised a holistic
disaster management strategy and is working on
forming operational alliances with international and
external partners to seek support to implement the
strategy.
