The VDPC, local panchayat leaders and representatives from vulnerable groups from the village will be an integral part of the design planning, with the technical oversight of a project civil engineer. Construct the centre using a cash-for-work basis as much as feasible with technical oversight by an expert. Conduct community disaster mitigation, preparedness and response communication campaigns, including: Six Public awareness raising days held in 6 locations – 6 panchayats: these will be using various media, competitions, children’s games, posters, plays, etc. covering various disaster risk reduction topics. These will be imaginative and context specific. Ongoing communication materials in each village facilitated by community members and the VDPCs. Target a minimum of six schools (one in each Panchayat) either through their formal curriculum entry or informal message sharing at a minimum once a month regarding disasters. We will concentrate on the messages of education on health, safety hazards and evacuation. The sessions will be conducted with the aim of increasing children’s understanding of risk and teaching them how to prepare for hazardous events and what to do when one occurs, with simplicity and relevance to their community. We will also involve: 2 x Visit by the VDPC: We will work with the schools in arranging educational visits to or by local leaders or staff practitioners who would be involved in emergency services, most likely the Village Disaster Preparedness Committee members from their village. ADRA’s activities on disaster reduction: we will take the school children to show them what the project is practically doing, such as the water points that are raised, construction of disaster community multi-purpose buildings for the most vulnerable, etc. Evacuation drill: we will conduct an evacuation drill for each schools. Build up the capacity of VDPC with activities that will be focusing on giving them practical action learning: We will be using the Vulnerability/Capacity Assessment Approach that links the vulnerability of these communities directly with the strengths and capacities. We will involve the VDPCs during the implementation of other results of the project in the following ways: In result 1 and 2 – Livelihood and WatSan disaster response Developing or enhancing their disaster response plans Training them in the WatSan key messages Partnering with ADRA in hazard evacuation drills Partnering with ADRA in obtaining first aid kits for disaster supplies Providing First Aid Kits for each VDPCs (18 in total) for their disaster response. In addition, we’ll take a couple of village disaster committee members from each VDPC with us to as many procuring trips as possible so they know where to come back and how much it costs, etc. for next year. Outcomes: The target village households are positively benefiting from access to the cow and bull livelihood activities. The target 18 villages have restored access to clean water as well as improved knowledge, attitudes and practice in safe domestic water use and personal hygiene. The recovery needs of the target villages have increased representation at government in order for access to government assistance to be enhanced. The target communities have an increased resiliency and capacity to prepare for future disasters.
