building task of Paper Tower Construction. The group was allocated 10 A-4 sized papers
to construct the highest paper tower possible that would stand on its own without being
supported.
A debrief of the exercise was done by asking participants what issues they considered
when constructing their respective towers. The exercise acted as an ice breaker to
encourage participants to work together.

the other hand can provide an opportunity to realize the community’s vulnerability and
can motivate policy makers and the public to participate in mitigation activities.

In groups of four, participants came up with a seasonal calendar. The groups were
requested to identify months in a year in which they perform some major events, water
sanitation issues and disaster risks this affects their livelihood in a particular year. They
were required to identify gender specific duties performed by both male and female
during disasters and issues related to water and sanitation and health.
The groups then present their deliberations during the plenary session. Below are the
plenary presentations.

December, 2010
Session Thirteen: Environmental Health in DRR and WASH: Mr. Patrick Malala
The session emphasized on the need to have high standards of hygiene especially during
the rainy season. It was noted that most of diseases can be avoided by using very simple
hygienic techniques such as washing hands after using the toilet, boiling drinking water.

Session Fourteen: Mainstreaming Gender and HIV in DRR: Adrian Phiri
The importance of mainstreaming gender issues and HIV/Aids was highlighted. Socially
constructed views about the roles of women in communities were challenged. Women are
the most vulnerable when a disaster falls. Society by nature does not recognize the
responsibilities women could play in Disaster Risk Reduction, usually men overshadow
their efforts. DRR programmes which involve women and the old are likely to be more
effective than those that are not gender sensitive.
Session Fifteen: Problem Tree Analysis Dr. Silengo
Disasters have been affecting society on annual basis due to inability of communities to
understand the root causes of disaster risks and sanitation. The session highlighted on the
need to understand the problem, its root cause and the effects.

For the training to be more effective we as Mulungushi University offer the following
recommendations:-
The training sessions be conducted at least three days or more.
Training materials be provided in before the training begins so that participants
can revise the training course contents as they do the training.
Time was limited and short. Recommend for an extension of the number of days.
Add some incentives in terms of allowance.
Concern for different venues, need to maintain one venue.
Group work was very good tool and interesting.
Conclusion and Closing Remarks
Participants generally expressed satisfaction on the training experience and expressed
willingness to go out and practice what they learnt back in the community. They
implored CARE Zambia to provide them with identity such as T-shirts, badges for them
to be recognized within the community. They also asked for follow-up training/outreach
activities on DRR and WASH facilitated by CARE Zambia involving those who had
been trained under SPUURZ.
