Lessons Learned
• Networking approach to building resilience creates local sustainability. Result has been more than the sum of activities.
• Local level awareness and knowledge of risk is low. Even though well developed indigenous knowledge exists. Risk Assessments and further research needed.
• Sustainability and mainstreaming requires long term programming
• Extensive weather related disasters are already affecting local Communities
• Most post-disaster ‘DRR’ initiatives are preparedness oriented. Concept of DRR is yet to be fully understood.
How the outcomes will be sustained…• Organizations facilitating work in the
project areas have developed long term system of engagement with local communities.
• New projects are already in place to sustain and upscale initiatives in this project
• Extensive documentation, DRR Tool Box to invite other stakeholders to replicate successes.
Future plans
• Develop plans for continuing Climate Change Adaptation work with local communities.
• Widen stakeholder engagement both locally and nationally
• To share and replicate outcomes of the project along other vulnerable coastal communities in Asia fulfilling ADRRN’s mission for a safer Asia!
