BHHs to share their
needs related to DRR plans

Lessons learned during Phase 1 Context analysis helped to set operational strategies/plans
Understanding of selection criteria needs ground experience of working with extreme poor
Addressing gender based inequality is necessary for sustainable graduation
Micro planning involving all members including children has ensured participation and build confidence of staff and HHs
Planned delivery of productive assets, relevant skills, social awareness can improve HH performance
Lessons learned during Phase 1
Continuous engagement through local Community Mentors and Community Support Groups has helped households to make decisions and seek support
The tools are found to be highly effective and ensured transparency and accountability of project deliverables
Involvement of local government institutions, local entrepreneurs and government service providers is found playing an important role for the HHs
Knowledge and practice of emergency preparedness, disaster risks reduction measures are found reducing vulnerabilities and preventing loss and damage
Proper monitoring and evaluation, research, assessments and lesson learning improves interventions and can help evidence based policy advocacy- within and outside the organization
