Strengthening disaster tracking systems through DELTA Resilience (Global in-person training of trainers)

Objectives of the Training of Trainers 

Within the DELTA Resilience rollout strategy, Training of Trainers (ToT) and workshops - implemented at global, regional, and national levels - serve as a core delivery mechanism for capacity development and technical assistance. These trainings are conceived not as standalone learning events, but as an operational instrument designed to: 

• Scale technical capacity across regions through quality-assured toolkits, standardized training materials, and structured knowledge transfer mechanisms. 

• Ensure methodological consistency, content and use-case relevance, and data quality aligned with global standards. 

• Anchor DELTA Resilience within national institutions and existing data ecosystems, strengthening institutional ownership and integration into operational workflows; and 

• Sustain long-term implementation through certified regional and national expert pools that reinforce data governance, support methodological application, and promote the consistent use of standards for analysis and decision-relevant disaster data. 

The ToT therefore supports DELTA Resilience rollout, system institutionalization, and Sendai Framework Monitoring (SFM) acceleration by embedding country data applications at the core of implementation. Enhanced capacities to produce, analyse, and apply disaster data enable countries to design, implement, and monitor disaster risk reduction and adaptation policies as integral elements of national development planning, advancing risk-informed and sustainable development outcomes. 

The ToT will result in a regional pool of technically competent, institutionally certified trainers capable of supporting countries throughout the DELTA Resilience rollout lifecycle - from awareness raising, data ecosystem maturity and data readiness assessment, initial system deployment to full institutionalization and data application. 

Topics to be covered 

1. DELTA system overview, methodological guidance and software hands-on training through scenarios on data entry and analysis 

2. DELTA Rollout approaches and toolkit: data ecosystem and data readiness assessments 

3. Losses and damages data applications and use cases 

Expected learning outcome: 

By the end of the Training of Trainers, participants will be able to: 

• Understand the relevance of disaster losses and damages data for decision-making, including the translation of data into policy-relevant insights and the application of internationally agreed disaster-related statistical standards, including G-DRSF-aligned classifications, definitions, and methodologies. 

• Assess and operationalize national disaster data systems, including evaluating data ecosystems and readiness, defining contextualized rollout pathways, and effectively implementing and using the DELTA Resilience system to support data management, analysis, and evidence-based decision-making. 

• Enable the production and sustainability of interoperable losses and damages datasets and systems, including alignment with Sendai Framework Monitoring requirements and advising national authorities on data governance, institutional arrangements, interoperability, and long-term operational models and workflows. 

• Strengthen national and regional capacity for implementation and institutionalization, through the design and delivery of capacity-building activities and ongoing technical support to sustain country rollout and adoption.
