Building Resilient Communities (PAK-0010)

 This project aims to improve the resilience of rural communities in disaster and hazard prone locations with a focus on gender justice and good governance. The project works with communities to build understanding, knowledge and skills to prepare for, adapt to and mitigate climate and disasters risks. This includes adopting climate-smart agricultural techniques, diversifying livelihoods, and applying an appropriately designed risk transfer mechanism which will be developed in partnership with a research institute and relevant private sector actors (including insurance providers and micro-finance institutes). Disaster management committees are formed and strengthened with the responsibility to assess community hazards, vulnerability and capacities to inform the development and implementation of local level disaster management and adaptation plans.
