Capacity-building for a resilient, safer and prosperous Asia Pacific
The Shimanami Collective comprises of three distinct yet interrelated training programmes to be implemented in more than 30 countries. These programmes will build capacity among government officials, public- and private-sector employees and individuals through specialized trainings in sea and human safety, early warning systems, and women’s leadership in disaster risk reduction.
The UNITAR programme on Sea and Human Security offered invaluable insights into integrating maritime and human security strategies. It enhanced my understanding of how to address the complex interplay between sea-level rise, resource management, and community resilience.”– Phimmaly Thammavong, Laos, Participant of Sea and Human Security Training Programme 2024
The training programmes have been made possible through the generous support of the Government and People of Japan.
