Description:
The project supports community resilience in the face of natural disasters by undertaking demonstration projects that help determine which prevention or mitigation measures are most effective. In order to produce tangible risk reduction results in pilot communities to be disseminated across the region, these demonstration projects take lessons learned from other disaster risk reduction projects and test innovative ideas to improve or expand on them. The project also addresses the knowledge gap in the region about effective measures by putting together a mechanism for better tracking disaster risk management lessons learned, and measuring results.
The project is implementing demonstration projects in fifteen to seventeen communities across the Caribbean, with a focus on high-risk, low-income communities. The Caribbean Development Bank is also using regional specialists to train and inform government agencies, local officials, community workers and community-based organizations on the resources and the approaches available for reducing natural hazard impacts at the community level.
Organization:
Global Affairs Canada
Expected Results:
The expected intermediate outcomes for this project include: 1) enhanced implementation of gender-responsive and environmentally sustainable community level interventions to reduce natural hazard risks and climate change impacts in up to 17 communities in the Caribbean region.
