Integrated Projects
Key Objectives
Regional Database
Real-time Access
Rationale & Objectives
The research program uses a data-driven approach to strengthen disaster risk reduction and management for microenterprises by identifying their vulnerabilities and capacities, developing training and digital tools, and creating a centralized database.
Assess Disaster Preparedness
Assess the disaster preparedness and resilience of microenterprises in the Bicol Region.
Mapping & Database Development
Mapping and database development of microenterprise vulnerability and capacities.
Web & Mobile Systems
Design a web-based system and mobile application to support data collection, training, and stakeholder coordination before, during, and after disasters.
Built for field teams & analysts
Real-time data, interactive maps, and collaborative tools — all in one platform.
Program Components
Three integrated projects working together to build a comprehensive disaster resilience ecosystem for microenterprises.
MERIES
The initiative strengthens and scales MERIES by enhancing its monitoring and evaluation framework through a three-phase Microenterprises Resilience Program covering planning, simulation, and advocacy.
LUMEN
A centralized regional database will be established to provide standardized, reliable, and real-time microenterprise data supporting research, policy development, evaluation, and stakeholder collaboration.
BEACON
A user-friendly web and mobile platform will be developed to deliver real-time data access, visualization, learning resources, and collaboration tools that improve stakeholder engagement and coordination.
