  6. Objective of Cordaid CMDRR programme • Vulnerable Communities in disaster prone areas are more resilient to natural hazards, climate change and conflicts. Their capacity to cope with and adapt to adverse situations is increased

  7. Community Managed Disaster Risk Reductionin India

  8. NGO/Communities efforts in India • Identification of Vulnerable communities & areas prone to hazards (Andaman Islands, North Bihar, Rajasthan, Assam, Tamilnadu) • Undertaking hazard specific Risk assessment • Organizing the Community and formation of Community-based institutions: Self Help Groups/Youth Groups/Village Management Committees Self Help Group meeting in action

  9. Promoting Saving/Credit among the CBO members • “Savings” are a crucial & immediate support during/post hazard. • Government recognizing role of SHGs especially damage assessment/beneficiary selection post hazard • Creating linkages of these groups with Government schemes and institutions such as Banks/Insurance Companies leading to loan/MF for Livelihood & enterprise development

  10. Community groups, individuals, livestock, assets and school buildings have also been brought under insurance coverage • Capacitating Communities for Community readiness/Micro planning: • Formation of Rescue teams/task forces at village level • Grain Banks • High Rise platforms • Early warning systems • Hazard mitigation/prevention measures • SHGs (Self Help Group) have been engaged in advocacy and accessing Government schemes and resources (Emergency centres, funds & trainings) contributing to DRR

  19. Factors that Community is Monitoring Human Life: (Vulnerability and capacity) Location from Hazard: Knowledge Skills Ability to bounce back (saving/income/preparedness/insurance) Houses/Infrastructure: Location Capacity to face hazard Agriculture/Livelihood: Capacity to face hazard Location Multiple option Livestock: Location Ability to bounce back Institutions: PRI School SHGs Task forces Important: Reduction in migration Food/water/shelter/sanitation

  20. Way Forward • Community Managed disaster risk reduction is yet to be achieved • “Community monitoring” needs to be institutionalized. • Local Governance has to be more pro-active in planning, implementing and monitoring along with the community. • “Social Audit”- a way for ensuring accountability and learning.
