1. Call for grant applications – Risk Award 2015
“Disaster Risk Reduction –
People-centred, innovative and sustainable”
Submission deadline: 1 November 2014
The risks resulting from population development, environmental and climate change are
increasing. Complex technical systems and infrastructure are additional risk factors. Successful
Disaster Risk Reduction starts at the local level with people at risk. The Risk Award, announced
by UNISDR, GRF Davos, and Munich Re Foundation, will contribute to improved risk reduction
and disaster management by providing financial support to a project dedicated to these issues.
The objective of the Risk Award is to increase people’s resilience to risks and disasters, especially
in developing countries. It is also designed to stimulate innovation and new approaches towards
improving risk reduction and disaster management. The RISK Award will be assigned to an
operational project in the field of risk reduction. The prize will be awarded at the World Conference
on Disaster Risk Reduction in Sendai, March 2015, organized by UNISDR.
The award winner will receive funding up to 100,000 €. The prize has to be used for the
implementation of the proposed project. With each awardee an individual funding agreement will
be concluded that fits to the specific project situation and needs. It will contain a milestone-
planning, a payout-agreement and it will define the tangible results which have to evolve during
the handling time of the project.
It is expected that the successful project will be carried out by a team of people who have
complementary skills. It is perfectly legitimate to involve participants from partner institutions, but it
is not advisable to form large consortia for the purpose of submitting a proposal. Non-
governmental organisations (NGOs) and non-profit organisations (NPOs) are especially
encouraged to submit.
The jury who will make the final decision consists of a board of internationally renowned experts in
the field of disaster risk reduction representing a variety of backgrounds (developing countries and
developed countries, gender-balanced, politicians, scientists and practitioners). They stand for a
fair, objective and targeted decision process. Therefore, the decision of the jury cannot be
challenged and must not be subject to appeal.

Title of the project:
Ann pwoteje la vi nou (Let’s protect our lives)
Please provide a very short outline of the project. “The project in 2 sentences”:
Against the backdrop of the devastating earthquake that took place in Haiti in 2010, this project
aims to empower the people of Delmas 32 to take preventive action in the face of any future
disasters. It aims to create an emergency first response team that will be trained to save lives,
develop a community map to pinpoint key locations, create school evacuation plans for all
schools in the Delmas 32 area, and train people to ensure their homes are disaster resistant.
Status of the project:
New project Extension of an existing project Other
Please provide a detailed description of the project including its goals, design, the
location, local conditions, beneficiaries, etc.
(photos, maps or drawings can be included as additional files in the attachment.)
General Objective: Ann pwoteje la vi nou (Let’s protect our lives) will take place in Delmas 32, a
high-density area heavily affected by the Jan, 2010 earthquake that devastated Port-au-Prince.
The project's general objective is to make disaster risk reduction a priority and to save lives by
empowering the community to take prompt and decisive action in the event of a natural
disaster. J/P HRO will accomplish this goal by training a team of first responders developing
and disseminating a comprehensive community map showing key point in the community,
developing communication tools with the community and designing and implementing school
evacuation plans. All aspects of this project have been discussed with the relevant institutions

3. Call for grant applications –
Risk Award 2015

and are aligned with the National Risk and Disaster Management Plan.
Specific Objectives: The project’s specific objectives are as follows:
SO1: Community preparation – the community in general is better prepared to respond quickly
and effectively to a disaster. J/P HRO will accomplish this objective through the establishment
of a well-trained, sensitized and knowledgeable network of first responders in Delmas 32, the
implementation of a community mapping exercise to raise awareness about points of
vulnerability and location of strategic resources, as well as the development of a series of
communications tools designed to help the community better prepare and potentially respond.
SO2: Schools are better prepared to respond in the face of a natural disaster – J/P HRO will
accomplish this by training school directors in the design and implementation of emergency
evacuation plans, as well as by training and promoting awareness amongst students and staff.
Project Design: This project will empower the people of Delmas 32, one of the areas hardest hit
by the 2010 earthquake by providing them with skills, knowledge and techniques to minimize
damage and respond quickly and effectively to any future disaster. The project will directly
benefit all 90,000 people living in this area. Specifically, the design of this project will result in:
-The creation of two first responder teams located in the most vulnerable areas of Delmas 32,
who are trained to respond quickly in the event of a disaster. They will be trained in the location
of community exits, so they can direct people out of danger areas. They will also receive basic
CPR and triage training and will be sensitized as to the particular needs of very high-risk
vulnerable groups, including pregnant women, people with disabilities, families with numerous
children and those living in the highest-risk areas.
-The development of a community preparedness map to identify particularly vulnerable
individuals and families are located, pinpoint where healthcare, water and sanitation services
are, and specify where exits are located.
-Well-prepared schools, as J/P HRO will work with all school directors to develop clear,
manageable school evacuation plans, while training and sensitizing students. This specific part
of the project will complement J/P HRO’s initiative of retrofitting schools, which aims to make
them earthquake and hurricane resistant.
This project will benefit from several factors. First, children in Haiti are able to promote positive
social behaviour changes. This was demonstrated previously during cholera prevention
campaigns. Secondly, education and schools also have a very well-respected place in the
Haitian society. Finally, the project will also benefit from J/P HRO's strong position in the
community of Delmas 32. J/P HRO has been working in this community since the earthquake.
In addition, J/P also has a strong network of Haitian and international institutions.
Project Sustainability: Sustainability will be an essential part of this project’s design. Its
sustainability stems from several factors:
-All knowledge gained will remain in the community. A primary focus of this project is on
training, as J/P HRO will train two teams in emergency response, train a group of young people
in community mapping techniques and train all school directors in design and implementation
of school evacuation plans. J/P HRO will also train people how to retrofit their homes.
-All tools produced will remain in the community. Specifically, this project will result in the
creation of a community map that will show community exits, highly vulnerable populations and
essential services. The map will be vital to any emergency response and will be made widely
available to the community at large. It will be developed during the first year, and the
community mapping team will update it during the second year. A large-scale version of the
map will also be painted in three highly-visible locations in the community.
- This project is aligned with the strategy of the Civil Protection Department (DPC, Direction de
la Protection Civile). We are indiscussion with numerous partners (including DPC, Ministry of

4. Call for grant applications –

Education UNICEF, World Bank, American Red Cross…) in order to maximize synergy and to
ensure institutional sustainability of the project.
Location: This project will take place in Delmas 32, a community where J/P HRO has extensive
experience, has launched many successful initiatives and has forged strong community ties.
Delmas 32 is a slum much like many other located throughout Port-au-Prince. Nearly five years
after the earthquake, J?P HRO has worked extremely hard to help improve the community’s
resilience. While the organization has made strong strides, work remains to be done as the
community of 90,000 people lives in extremely close quarters, with very poor sanitation and
little access to healthcare.
Beneficiaries – Direct:The direct beneficiaries of this project will include:
- The 90,000 residents of Delmas 32, through increased community knowledge about
how to reduce their vulnerability to disasters and how to respond quickly and effectively.
- The 30 selected individuals (15 people x 2 teams) who will make up the first response
teams and will receive training in first response techniques, CPR and basic triage.
- The 35 school directors who will be trained in development of school evacuation plans
- The 6,000 students who attend these schools, alongside 400 teachers and 50 administrators.
- The 800 people who will be trained in how to retrofit/ rebuild their homes in a disaster-
resistant manner.(16 sessions x 50 people). Retrofit training will build on J/P HRO’s experience
of retrofitting 125 houses for 450 families and training 100 local masons in Delmas 32
Indirect Beneficiaries:The indirect beneficiaries of this project are as follows:
- The estimated 4,000 people who live in the households of those who will receive
rebuilding/retrofitting training.
- 2,470,762 people in Port-au-Prince – the aim is to make this project a model initiative for
similar communities throughout Port-au-Prince.
Project methodology/approach (brief description):
Objective 1: The community in general is better protected against and is able to respond
quickly and effectively to a disaster.
J/P HRO will achieve this objective through the following activities:
Community Trainings on Reconstruction: J/P HRO will deliver a total of 16 half-day training
sessions on proper building techniques, designed to help people rebuild and retrofit their
homes in a way that will help them to withstand any future disaster (hurricane or earthquake
resistant techniques). The training sessions will be delivered in cooperation with an
organization such as Build Change, an organization that builds safe houses and schools in
emerging nations to protect people from earthquakes and hurricanes. The training will target 50
people per session, for a total of 800 people. However, as J/P HRO estimates that this will
mean one attendee per household, this initiative will benefit over 4,000 people. -
Formation and Training of Two First Responder Teams:
Community Meeting: J/P HRO will hold an initial meeting with community leaders to explain the
initiative, ensure their support and receive their input as to who they believe should participate
in the first responder teams.
Selection of First Responder Team Members: A total of 30 First Responder Team Members will
be selected through an election process. J/P HRO will develop selection criteria to help guide
the identification of candidates. The community members can then vote for the members they
trust and who they deem appropriate for the job. The thirty team members will be divided into
two teams of 15, who will work in the two most highly vulnerable areas of Delmas 32.

5. Call for grant applications –

Training of First Response Teams: Training will be delivered in accordance with the Haitian
Red Cross standards, using a pre-developed Red Cross curriculum that is specifically tailored
to the local context. The training will take an estimated 30 hours, and will be delivered through
a schedule tailored to the needs of the participants. It will include training on CPR, basic triage,
the specific needs of high-vulnerability groups and the location of community exits, as well as
communication so that they may easily direct people towards essential services and exits. On
completion of the course, every team member will receive a certificate identifying them as a
trained first responder. Half-day refresher courses will subsequently be held every three
months to ensure participants retain what they learned.
Community Mapping Initiative: A community mapping initiative will also be executed, with the
goal of pinpointing all community exit points, schools, healthcare facilities and water distribution
locations. This will potentially be done in collaboration with Community Open Street Map Haiti,
a branch of Open Street Map Initiative, a collaborative project to create a free, editable map of
the world. J/P HRO will ensure the map is made widely available to everyone in the community.
Training of Community Mapping Team: The community mapping exercise will be conducted by
the 28 youth volunteers who currently provide assistance to other students at J/P HRO’s Kay
Kominote (Community Center), in cooperation with four members of the first responders’ team.
They will receive a one-day training from Community Open Street Map Haiti (to be conducted
on a Saturday, as the young people are in school during the week), and the mapping exercise
will take place the following week (Monday – Friday). A second exercise will be conducted in
the second year, to update the map.
The group will be divided into ten teams of three people, with each group assigned to map a
specific sector of the community, in order to produce three maps: one showing community exit
points, a second identifying high-vulnerability zones and a third showing where to seek shelter.
Dissemination of the Maps into the Community: The mapping teams along with the four
members of the first responder team will visit all schools in Delmas 32, talk to the students
about disaster risk reduction and distribute copies of the maps to all students.
A large version of the the map will also be painted in three strategic locations around Delmas
32. Meanwhile, copies of the map will also be distributed through local businesses.
Development of Communication Tools to Help the Community Better Respond and Prepare:
Disaster Risk Reduction Days (DRR Days): J/P HRO will hold a total of six Disaster-Risk
Reduction days throughout Delmas 32 during the two-year period of this project (one DRR day
per year in three different areas of Delmas 32, over two years). During these days, members of
the first response team will go through the community with a megaphone, announcing what day
it is and providing basic information, copies of the map will be distributed and, at each DRR
day, the theater group that is being trained at J/P HRO’s Kay Kominote will perform a play
about disaster risk reduction in key, public locations. This event will be held to coincide with
October 13th, the UN International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction.
Text Message Campaign: During this project, J/P HRO will also develop and put into practice
an SMS campaign designed to promote awareness of disaster risk reduction and provide a
rapid warning system in the event of a disaster. The SMS message will contain information
about where to find shelter, water, healthcare services and how to get out of the community
and will be disseminated to key community leaders in the event of a disaster. In preparation,
J/P HRO will create a comprehensive contact list of key members of the community (school
directors, members of the first response team, church leaders, healthcare workers) who will
receive the message and be responsible for communicating its information to the wider
community. J/P HRO will also perform a number of “test runs” (which will be clearly identified
as such) in order to ensure the message is properly delivered and well understood.
Objective Two: Schools are better prepared to respond in the face of a natural disaster

6. Call for grant applications –
Risk Award 2015
Page 6
J/P HRO will ensure all schools in Delmas 32 are better prepared for any disaster, are well-
versed in evacuation procedures and are better able to protect the lives of staff and students.
J/P HRO will launch this part of the project by holding a meeting with the directors of all 35
schools in Delmas 32 in order to train them in how to devise and implement an evacuation
plan. The meeting will be attended by a member of the DRC as well as the area inspector from
the Ministry of Education. Following this meeting, all schools will be given one week to produce
an evacuation plan. The evacuation plans will subsequently be tested in practice three times a
year, for a total of six times over the course of two years.J/P HRO will also ensure all schools
have emergency lists, with complete contact information for all students.
Students will also be trained in how to respond during an emergency. Each school will launch a
Disaster Risk Reduction club, to be headed by one of the teachers. The club members will
receive basic training from the first response teams, and will be responsible for passing this
information on to their fellow students by making posters, writing and performing school plays
and songs and making regular announcements. Meanwhile, questions about disaster risk
reduction will also be incorporated into J/P HRO’s trivia contest, an initiative that brings schools
together several times a year to compete against one another.
Is there a possibility to multiply the project (e.g. other situations, regions)?
This project could easily be replicated in other locations as the project is adaptable and could
be tailored to fit different disaster situations. This initiative continues J/P HRO's focus on
strengthening the community of Delmas 32, an area that is very typical of other communities
throughout Haiti, and other high-density urban populations around the world. Thus, the project
could easily be used as a model for other organizations doing similar work.
Other disaster preparedness exercises have been done in Haiti, however primarily in more
eaily accessible areas. This project is unique in that it involves working in Delmas 32 an area
where access remains complex, and therefore could be replicated in areas that share this
characteristic. The project aims to improve disaster resiliency and preparedness by
strengthening local organizations, institutions and government. Moreover, this project could be
adapted to fit different environmental disaster concepts.
J/P HRO has a strong Monitoring and Evaluation department that will document lessons learnt
throughout the project and document how challenges will be addressed. In addition, J/P HRO
Communication department will be able to do regular updates and social media campaigns on
the challenges and the successes of the project in Creole and English.
How do you plan to implement or link your project in official frameworks
(local, regional, national DRM action plans etc.) ?
This project will be strongly linked with official frameworks, including the following:
Local Framework: There is a disaster risk reduction plan that has been developed by the office
of the mayor of Delmas J/P HRO will work closely with the mayor's office to ensure this project
occurs within that framework.
National: J/P HRO will work closely with la Direction de la Protection Civile (DPC), part of the
Ministere de l’Intérieur et des Collectivités Territoriales (Ministry of Interior and Territorial
Collectivities), that is responsible for managing prevention and response to risks and disasters.
Both are responsible for executing the National Plan for Management of Risks and Disasters,
which outlines steps to be taken to reduce risk. They also manage the Internal Intervention
Plan, which outlines governmental responsibilities in the event of a disaster.
The country's Programme Triennal d'Investissement 2014 - 2016 (Triennial program for
investment, 2014 - 2016) identifies the reduction of risk as a national priority and aims to
reinforce the national system for management of risks and disasters.

This project is also in line with the UN Integrated Strategic Framework for Haiti: 2013 - 2016,
which identified strengthening the capacity of local institutions in disaster risk reduction.
Haiti has also recently launched the "Table Sectorielle et Thématique Risques et Désastres" to
ensure coherence amongst various players in the area of disaster risk reduction.
The proposed project will build on lessons learnt gained through implementation of projects
since J/P HRO's inception after the earthquake (January, 2010) and also from experience
gained from local or international partnerships such as:
- Capacity building of a network for over 32 Community-Based Organizations and a school
board for over 30 schools;
- Regular meetings with community leaders, authorities, representatives of different ministries;
- Contribution at the national level to discussion and policymaking on Disaster Risk Reduction
(e.g. with the National System of Risk and Disaster Management or within the Global Facility
for Disaster Reconstruction and Recovery) but also in the other strategic aid sectors (J/P HRO
was co-Chair for the Returns and Relocations Working Group in Port-au-Prince);
- At the international level, J/P HRO regularly participated in professional and academic events,
such as the Haiti post-disaster reconstruction sustainability and development conference
(organized by Fordham University and UNDP in November, 2013) and the World Urban Forum,
organized by UNHABITAT in Medellin in April 2014.
Is your project team engaged in multi-stakeholder partnerships?
(different sectors, different sizes, different organisational background, PPPs)
J/P HRO engages in multi-stakeholder partnerships and has a history of working effectively in a
number of sectors with organizations from different backgrounds. J/P HRO firmly believes that
strong partnerships are key to maximizing the impact of all initiatives. Examples of J/P HRO
projects in which multi-stakeholder partnerships have played a central role are as follows:
-Helping Haiti Home, Relocation, Protection and Construction Project 2, an initiative to support
the relocation of 4,883 families and redevelop residential areas;
-Helping Haiti Home, Relocation, Protection and Construction Project 1, this project supported
relocation of 552 families, as well as the construction of 35 housing units, and two water kiosks
alongside the rehabilitation of a community centre, two medical clinics and three schools.
-Reducing Vulnerability in Return – an initiative focusing on empowering vulnerable people and
reducing the risk of SGBV.
-Delmas 32 Education Revitalization Initiative – this project had a positive impact on the
education of over 6,000 students and involved implementing a teacher training program and
creating a model school district.
-Adolescent Girls’ Initiative – This project provided vocational and life skills training to 200
vulnerable adolescent girls.

Project Timeline: Two years (Start Date: Mid-March 2015 - End Date: Mid-March, 2017)
Year One: This project will take place over two years. The project's start date in the middle of
March will provide us with three-and- a half months to start engaging schools before the end of
the school year and means it will start well prior to the beginning of the hurricane season (June
1 to November 30). The first year will focus on sensitization, platform and network-building,
partnership creation and reinforcement. During the first year, J/P HRO will design a response
plan, launch community-based trainings, design, set up and implementation of communications
plans and perform engineering assessments and mapping of high vulnerability areas.
Year Two: The second year will involve producing a report focused on lessons learned in the
first year, and tailoring the project accordingly to ensure the best outcome. In the second year,
J/P HRO will solidify what was learned during the first year and further cement community
relations and partnerships.
Monitoring and evaluation are strong components of all J/P HRO projects and will be central to
this initiative. This project will be evaluated on an ongoing basis, through techniques such as
interviews, focus groups, engineering assessments and outcome mapping. The organization
will run focus groups with specific target groups (men, women, young people and older people)
and groups will be conducted at the beginning of the project, after six months, after one year
and at the end of the project. All training activities will include pre and post tests to measure
what participants have learned.
In addition to this, interviews will be done with key community leaders, project beneficiaries, the
local community platform, and the school board at the beginning of the project, after six
months, after one year and at the end of the project.

About J/P HRO:
J/P HRO is a Haitian-registered NGO with strong experience working in Delmas 32 on
successful projects that share important synergies with this one. Our projects focus on camp
and relocations management, community development, medical services, engineering and
construction. The organization also works in emergency preparedness and response.
J/P HRO began working in Haiti just after the January 2010 earthquake, and became the camp
manager of the Petionville Club (PVC) camp, one of the largest IDP camps in Haiti, sheltering
60,000 people. J/P HRO succeeded in officially closing the PVC camp in January 2014, with all
former residents rehoused into safe housing in neighbourhoods around Port-au-Prince.
Our Experience in Delmas 32: This project represents a continuation of our ongoing efforts to
regenerate the community of Delmas 32. In 2011, the organization began to focus on
redevelopment in this area, in an effort to encourage camp residents to return to permanent
homes in their neighbourhoods of origin.
Since then, J/P HRO has cleared tens of thousands of cubic metres of rubble in Delmas 32,
demolished 270 homes that were condemned by the government, and retrofitted a series of
earthquake-damaged buildings.J/P HRO has also overseen construction and implementation of
solar-powered water kiosks, dozens of private residential retrofits and new home construction.
The organization’s goal is to bring the area back to life through redevelopment activities to
improve urban spaces, better housing opportunities, and basic infrastructure. As part of these
activities, the organization promotes community involvement and leadership in all initiatives.
