|a This Community Disaster Resilience Fund (CDRF) operational guideline outlines an effective and efficient system for achieving and sustaining community-based disaster risk reduction (DRR) through the coordination of efforts at the international, regional, national, and community levels. The CDRF is an entity for funneling funds directly to the most disaster prone communities in an effort to improve their capacity to design, plan, implement, and assess their own DRR and adaptation initiatives with the support of national governments and NGOs. The document outlines 3 principle ways that the CDRF supports this objective in vulnerable communities. These include: (1) promoting local capacity for effective DRR communication and training; (2) lobbying for the inclusion of DRR in development planning, particularly at the local level; and (3) fostering bottom-up changes in national DRR policy through support for successful community-based DRR. The document goes on to present the implementation of CDRF projects in India across eight states in 88 villages across 11 districts in conjunction with its India partner, the National Alliance for Disaster Risk Reduction (NAADRR), a network of over 170 civil society organizations dedicated to community-based DRR. Through a Project Advisory Group, the NAADRR is able to exchange lessons learned and recommendations with its institutional partner, the National Disaster Management Authority of India, from which local experiences in community-based DRR are used to influence state and national level policy planning. The projects covered by the CDRF focus on engaging women and other neglected groups in accessing “health services, drinking water and toilets during disasters, [reducing] soil erosion, [while] ensuring food security, sustainable livelihoods and income to reduce community vulnerability to disasters and weather threats” (p. 12). In order to ensure that local project experiences can be translated into data that informs policy, a system of community monitoring and learning throughout the project’s implementation was devised. Criteria to measure the progress and success of these projects was determined by the communities themselves. |
