On 17 October 2024, the “Honing Agents for National Disaster Awareness (HANDA) Program: Disaster Preparedness and Business Continuity Planning for MSMEs” was presented by the University of the Philippines Institute for Small-Scale Industries (UP ISSI) at the Ignite Stage during APMCDRR 2024.
The Filipino term “handa” means “prepare”. The HANDA Program aims to build a culture of preparedness by guiding MSME owners in developing their enterprise resilience roadmap and business continuity plans.
The HANDA Program is conducted by the University of the Philippines Institute for Small-Scale Industries (UP ISSI) to promote business continuity planning and disaster preparedness awareness among micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the Philippines.
The UP ISSI develops a culture of preparedness among “Pinoypreneurs” through the HANDA Program which includes delivering awareness sessions, capacity-building training programs, and conducting research studies related to enterprise resilience, business continuity management and business continuity planning for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs).
HANDA Program is one of the voluntary commitments published in the SFVC platform: Honing Agents for National Disaster Awareness (HANDA) Program: Disaster Preparedness and Business Continuity Planning for MSMEs
