CAPADIRE – Capacity Building in Disaster Response
CAPADIRE is a program which provides learning and training activities for agencies in disaster response. To this end, Bioforce and RedR, two complementary training institutes, have worked together to join their skills and expertise.
It is the following observations that led to the CAPADIRE program :
- Very often in disaster response most of the people mobilised are nationals with little or no experience in such activities
- Delivery is the priority and there is little room (at least in the early stages of a response) for training and support of new staff
- Classic training programs are not appropriate in disaster response contexts
- Local actors need support to fully become the force of tomorrow
