Purpose: Development of a community driven adaptation plan of action and to facilitate mainstreaming adaptation in the development process. The occupational groups of people, mentioned earlier as the target population of the project, are facing problems to manage their livelihoods in the vulnerable contexts (salinity, drought, flood and cyclone etc.). This project will enable them to identify potential risks and appropriate adaptation options to reduce their risks to climate change and variability. The tested adaptation strategies will be recommended for implementation in other parts of the country in similar contexts. The policy makers and implementers as the main actors in the development sector will be brought in for mainstreaming climate change issues to reduce the risks and contribute to the poverty reduction process. Thus, the project results will contribute to achieving some MDGs. In order to achieve the purpose, the following specific have been defined for the project: a. Increase capacity and motivation of communities and Local Government Entities to assess community risks to climate change and variability following a participatory process by month 9 of the project. b. Build confidence of Local Government Entities and enhance skills of community people in developing stakeholder-inclusive climate risk reduction (adaptation) plans of action at community and local government levels by month 14 of the project. c. Increase awareness of multi-level stakeholders on livelihood risks to climate change and variability and adaptation options to facilitate government and development agencies buy -in and mainstreaming climate change issues by month 18 of the project. d. Increase confidence of the multi-level stakeholders on replicability of the identified local level livelihood adaptation strategies by month 24 of the project.

After conducting the project design workshops and discussion with various stakeholders, the working area will be determined to cover major the vulnerability contexts: floods, cyclone, salinity and drought. Targeted sector or system of the project: (e.g. economic sector, environmental system, livelihood groups) The project will address the livelihood issues of the Poor, Marginal Farmers, Agri-labourers, Landless, Women, Indigenous People, Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), Small Traders and Students who are vulnerable to salinity, drought, cyclone and floods and identify alternative adaptation strategies in order to enhance their livelihood security. The project also targets four eco-systems: coastal ecosystem (Assasuni and Chakoria), flood plain ecosystem and Barind Tract (Semi-arid highland; Porsha) on which the livelihoods of the target beneficiaries depend. Targeted decision makers/actors: (i.e. what institutions and/or groups will take action as result of your project) Following institutions at different levels of the country have been targeted who will take actions on the results of the project:

7. (K) cKi aviYvMZ KvVvgv t The core concept of the project is to facilitate the households, communities, local governments and educational institutions to assess the livelihood risks associated with climate change and other natural hazards, and to develop a local adaptation action plan. This action plan will be used as a reference for mainstreaming adaptation into the development programmes of central and local governments. Eight community based pilot adaptation actions will be implemented in 4 most vulnerable spots in Bangladesh: Assasuni in Satkhira (extreme salinity and increasing droughts), Porsha in Naogaon (extreme drought), Chakoria in Coxs Bazar (extreme cyclone) and Tarash in Sirajganj (extreme floods). Lessons from these pilot actions will be shared with local, national and international stakeholders. Learning from the Reducing Vulnerability to Climate Change (RVCC) project of CARE Bangladesh will be taken into consideration during selection of livelihood adaptation strategies. The purpose of the project is development of a community driven adaptation plan of action and to facilitate mainstreaming adaptation in the development process. To attain the purpose, the following objectives are targeted. a. Increase capacity and motivation of communities and Local

Government Entities to assess community risks to climate change and variability following a participatory process by month 9 of the project.

b. Build confidence of Local Government Entities and enhance skills of community people in developing stakeholder-inclusive climate risk reduction (adaptation) plans of action at community and local government levels by month 14 of the project. c. Increase awareness of multi-level stakeholders on livelihood risks to climate change and variability and adaptation options to facilitate government and development agencies buy-in and mainstreaming climate change issues by month 18 of the project. d. Increase confidence of the multi-level stakeholders on replicability of the identified local level livelihood adaptation strategies by month 24 of the project. Through the project intervention the expected outcomes of the project are: Local community and local elected bodies have better capacity to understand CC-induced risks; Local community and local elected bodies have capacity to identify CC induced risks and identify possible adaptation strategies; A broader constituency created to understand and internalized the CC issue; and Numbers of adaptation strategies identified have potentials in reducing CC-induced risks. Vulnerabilities of 800 households to climate change impacts has significantly reduced. Following outputs are expected to be produced through implementation of numbers of activities under the 4 major strategies: A climate risk assessment guideline developed and community level risk assessment reports produced; 8 Local level Risk Reduction (Adaptation) Plans of Action developed; Communication Strategy, Risk Communication Materials and an advocacy strategy developed;

Climate change will affect the coastal districts with increased salinity and due to increased tidal flooding salinity submergence will increase. All sectoral people will somehow be affected by the climate change impact. This project will help the people to identify their risk, evaluate their risk and develop and implementation plan to be implemented for climate risk reduction.

The methodology to be applied for implementation of the project is participatory climate risk assessment and development of community based adaptation plan of action. The local communities of the project area, who are long experienced in autonomous adaptation, will be the primary actors in the design and implementation phases of the project.

Page 5

The project will identify vulnerabilities based on appropriate indicators used internationally (Downing et.al, 2001; Adger, 1998) and nationally. The project will use community risk assessment methodology of the Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme of the Ministry of Food and Disaster Management (MOFDM) (CDMP, 2006). It will also apply the lessons learned from the programmatic methodologies of the Reducing Vulnerability to Climate Change Project (CARE Bangladesh, 2001). The project designing and implementation methodology will be participatory and community based. Using a range of quantitative (questionnaire survey and structured interview), and qualitative methods (key informants interview, FGD, village transect, force field analysis, social mapping, hazard mapping, etc.). Facilitation will be another key method of project designing and implementation. Mainstreaming and Rights Based Approach will be supplementary strategies to the project. However, specific methodologies planned for specific strategies for the project are described below: Community Risk Assessment: Community Risk Assessment (CRA) will be done at community level with representative participation of stakeholder groups to identify potential risks to climate change and variability. A risk assessment guideline will be adapted from CRA guideline of CDMP for climate risk assessment. The stakeholders will be trained on the CRA process using the CRA guidelines. The trained persons will conduct CRA using different PRA tools such as FGD, Venn Diagram, climate change induced vulnerability mapping etc. The findings through the CRA process will be documented and disseminated.

Develop climate risk reduction plan (Adaptation Action Plan): There are Disaster Management Committees (DMCs) at Union (lowest tier of local govt.) and Upazila (sub-district) level, which have been formed under existing government policy and programmes in disaster

Page 6

management. Workshops will be organized with the 8 Union and 4 Upazila DMCs to share the risks identified through CRA. After prioritization of the risks in the workshops, risk reduction (adaptation) plan will be developed for 8 unions with active participation of all stakeholders. The risk reduction (adaptation) plans will be shared and disseminated with the Government, NGOs and Development Partners. Select and pilot a few adaptation options Eight community based pilot adaptation actions will be selected from the climate change risk assessment and local adaptation action plans for implementation at household level among the 800 highly vulnerable households and the distribution at each field location would be 200 (80 Poor and Marginal Farmers, 30 Agri-labourers, 25 Landless Women, 20 Indigenous People, 20 PWDs and 25 Small Traders). Community level adaptation strategies will be identified and

recommended to the local government bodies for implementation through the local government initiative and this process will further facilitate the household level initiatives of the vulnerable people to get more institutional support in sustaining the adapted livelihood options. Assessment of pilot adaptation options for sharing learned lessons: The adaptation options (eight options) piloted will be assessed using a multi-criteria assessment framework to measure its applicability, acceptability, feasibility, replicable potential and its matching with relevant policies. Lessons will be documented and shared with local, national and international stakeholders through workshops, publishing at least 3 article in peer reviewed international journal, and publish results in a book form in both English and Bangla. Mainstreaming climate change issues: In order to mainstreaming climate change issues, a communication strategy will be developed. Following the strategy, communication materials will be developed, tested in the field for finalization and printing. The printed materials will be disseminated among the Women

There is much common ground between the climate change adaptation and poverty reduction agendas. Adaptation options to climate change are needed for Page 12

poverty reduction, mainly the same as those Similarly, capacity building actions (e.g. strengthening local institutional networks) are necessary for climate change adaptation. Therefore, adaptation options should be used to mainstream or integrate poverty reduction in development policies by:

Mainstreaming climate change issues in land use planning, natural resource management, energy, transport, and coastal management agendas;

Integrating climate change management in the economic planning and budget process (climate change adaptation should ideally be managed by a Ministry with a broad mandate, like Planning or Finance);

Strengthening policies;

the

links

and

coordination

between

government

departments and other stakeholders working on SD and climate change Improving the management of climate change knowledge, especially the dissemination of good practice tools and methodologies to policy makers, civil society and others involved in adaptation efforts (much can be learned from the disaster management community on methodological and institutional issues); Education and training for DPP, and by encouraging local participation in climate change activities; Incorporating climate change adaptation in Poverty Reduction Strategy Plans. Adaptive capacity building should focus on enhancing the resilience of the poor by building on existing human and social capital (institutional coping mechanisms), supporting the financial resilience of poor, possibly with some kind of asset-based insurance, and encouraging sustainable natural resource management. A high potential area is environmental service payments to small farmers for watershed protection. The main immediate task is to support the development of NAPAs so that developing countries are ready to make optimum use of the new adaptation Funds.
