The Report on the CBDRM TLC Facilitators Workshop and TLC Philippines Launching Workshop is based on the 14 December 2007 workshop held at the Asian Institute of Management, Makati City, Philippines. The Community Based Disaster Risk Management Training and Learning Circle (CBDRM TLC) is a network being convened initially with the Center for Disaster Preparedness in the Philippines and the All India Disaster Mitigation Institute in India with support of the Special Unit for South-South Cooperation UNDP Regional Center Bangkok (UNDP SSC), ProVention Consortium, and the Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC) or CBDRM TLC Core Partners. The CBDRM TLC aims to strengthen the capacity of trainers in community training in disaster risk reduction and development, participatory and learner-centered training methodologies.

The workshop start-up activities of the CBDRM TLC sowed the seed/s which the DRM and development family (mothers, grandmother, fathers, grandfathers, aunties, uncles, children, babies) should continue to nurture. Important in this process is integrating in current workload such that it is not an additional burden, but adding value to capacity development in DRR.
