Activities: Development of risk reduction, preparedness and response capacities, systems and tools with national
institutions.
Building on lessons from community-based climate change adaptation activities and the 2015 familiarisation with
local commune investment planning and budgeting procedures, WFP and the National Committee for Sub-national
Democratic Development developed a guidance booklet aimed at supporting local authorities with the integration of
climate change adaptation in the routine plans using a participatory and inclusive manner. During the development
of the booklet, 12 commune councils were consulted followed by the training of 55 council members.
Enabled through a dedicated trust fund, WFP together with the National Committee for Disaster Management
organized three disaster simulation exercises to enhance preparedness across relevant sectors, with a view to
strengthening national emergency preparedness and response capacity. The events were attended by 260 people
from the central and sub-national government and civil society. An online real-time information platform to enhance
rapid access to information for situation monitoring and response planning was developed with tools to facilitate
mobile data uploads at decentralised levels. One provincial situation room was established.
The resilience assessment undertaken twice during 2016, with advanced analysis continuing into 2017, provided
important insights into chronic and transient vulnerabilities and opportunities for improved mitigation.
