2 TIK Evolution FY Development of the concept of TIK -Field Survey in Japan (January 2007) -Idea Workshop in Delhi (February 2007) FY Criteria development of TIK (July 2007) - Development of TIK database (March-December 07) -Action Workshop in Delhi (February 2008) FY Development of TIK databases (April to December 2008) -Good practice document (Oct 07 to July 08) -Policy Workshop in Kyoto (July 08) -Side event in KL (December 08) -Policy Document of IK and DRR (Feb 09)
3 Defining TIK Idea Workshop 2007 Indigenous knowledge is the knowledge that people in a given community have developed over time, and continue to develop. It is based on experience, often tested over centuries of use, adapted to local culture and environment, dynamic and changing. Source: IIRR, Philippines, 1996: Recording and using indigenous knowledge: A manual. Transferable indigenous knowledge is the traditional art of disaster reduction that is indigenous to specific region (s) but having potential to be applied to other regions and having time-tested reliability
4 Criteria for TIK Idea Workshop 2007
5 TIK Documentation Process Need to recognize the link of TIK with IOT and/or PT To make TIK real transferable, it is required to have PT Idea Workshop 2007 Identification of IK Documentation Research for Validation and Improvements TIK in DRH database Extension, Promotion
6 Action Workshop 2008 Implementation Issues of TIK How to transfer -Documentation -On-site visit -DRH database -Workshops -Internal, external facilitation -Link to modern technology What to transfer (Principles and Methodology) Transferability of TIK Who to transfer -Community leaders -External Facilitators Whom to transfer (Vulnerable Communities, Policy makers) For Hydro-meteorological disasters, focus on climate change adaptation
