Abstract

<p>　Established in March 2006 as a UNESCO Category II Centre, the International Centre on Water Hazard and Risk Management (ICHARM) has been implementing three-pillar activities of research, training and information networking by application of a three-in-one approach to close interlinking of all three areas to create synergic effects among them. This report describes three cases to explain ICHARM’s signature activities: (1) international technical cooperation on flood hazard mapping; (2) support using the scheme of the International Flood Initiative (IFI); and (3) international technical interaction through human resource development, including training and networking. This report also presents analyses of synergic effects arising from mutual interaction among research, training, and networking when implemented in a three-in-one manner. Finally, the findings suggest future directions of these activities through elucidation of such issues as new project development, promotion of new regional partnerships and networking, and the fostering of facilitators capable of providing technical advice and solving local problems.</p>
