  4. Bottom up ApproachBuilding up from Observing the Behaviourof direct stakeholders

  5. Design of the study • identification of hotspots • understanding vulnerability • identifying coping mechanism: households and communities • adaptive actions of • vulnerable groups with private motive • government and non-government external agencies with social welfare motive • generate both private and public goods and services. • Careful analysis of these will provide us with a portfolio of actions.

  6. Stake holders’ perception and action • Through community response • Through Household response • Responses are based on the field survey following LIFE approach

  7. Policy Framework • Sustainable development goals • Livelihood: employment • Institution: decision making, social capital • Food: poverty • Empowerment: education, health..

  8. Hot spot selection • hydrological model results on climate variability related water availability scenarios • district wise map representing population density, intensity of agricultural activity, degree of water stress/abundance, precipitation pattern • They all were then overlaid on each other to identify the villages i.e. the hotspot as intersection of all these characteristics. • the households in each village have been first stratified according to their landholding pattern

  9. Study area • The flood basin survey has been conducted in • villages of Nandabar, Karabar and Manitiri of the Nayagarh district of Orissa in the Mahanadi river basin. • the drought survey has been carried out in • sabarkantha and Ahmedabad of gujarat in the Sabarmati river basin. Eight villages - two each from the talukas Himmatnagar and Modasa in Sabarkantha and Dholka and Sanand in Ahmedabad have been selected for the survey. • A total of approximately 200 households have been surveyed which due to random selection procedure can be considered a fairly representative sample.

  10. Vulnerability assessment • Vulnerability of the study areas has been judged by three component indices representing three sources of vulnerability: threats to livelihood (VIL), food security (VIF) and access to market (VIM) based on household responses.
