Modalities for engaging Donors • Updating the list of potential partners in the CBA sites. • Confirmation of the starting of the CBA to the Partners • Documentation of the projects implemented by the partners in the vulnerable area • To organize a strategic meeting with partner including NCC members • Planning of joint appraisal mission of potential CBA projects

Country Programme Development (Con’t) • Once the CBA Strategy is adopted, all the potential local bodies will be trained in the GEF SPA and adaptation concerns. • The NCC members will be a part of the trainers. • The outcomes of the training should include understanding of project requirements, capacity for successful proposal writing, and introduction to CBA-specific M&E requirements
Strategies and Support for Project Development • The CBA will be launched at the district level and potential grantees will be trained on the SPA requirements, guidelines of writing proposal etc. • Gov extension services will help potential proponents in making proposal • Donors/Int’l NGO can help communities to make proposal when they are willing to co finance the project

Major issues beyond CBA • To test the suitability and the adequacy of the local adaptation techniques used and find affordable alternative solutions. • To set or reinforce the Research-Action-Development units that will develop affordable alternative technologies to be used at the community level to address adaptation issues. • To set a capacity building mechanism of vulnerable communities in order to adopt the appropriate technologies.
Major issues beyond CBA • To set rural community radio (vicinity) to inform populations on weather forecasting in order to allow them to adjust their cropping calendars. • The suitability of adaptation mechanisms VS social and cultural threats environments. • Willingness of communities to adopt or not technologies which are not productive in short term.
