Fourth Meeting of the Small Island States Resilience Initiative (SISRI) Practitioners’ Network

It is a two day event with 1-2 break-out sessions for focused work in groups. There will be a short opening and contextual session followed by a series of topics aimed at sharing successful experiences of the participant countries, and allowing for replication / peer learning. The sessions would be a blend of lightning talks by SIDS representatives and presentations by development partners

The objectives of the meeting are:

- To exchange experiences and good practices developed by small island states to make development climate and disaster resilient;

- To facilitate peer-to-peer learning to support effective design and implementation of climate and disaster resilient investments and policy interventions and;

- To further strengthen the community of practice between small island states’ practitioners

The outcomes of the meeting will be captured in a workshop report and possibly a video that will highlight key points from the discussions and propose concrete set of recommendations and next steps based on lessons learned and good practices. The report will be published on the GFDRR/SISRI website. This will include: successful peer exchange with examples of countries picking up lessons/models/practices to implement and post-workshop surveys showing high ratings for knowledge sharing and learning.
