(preoccupation)
3. Community attitudes of getting direct services from the project to meet other felt needs related to
primary health care and livestock care
4. Extremely marginal economy and subsistence living of families in char lands
5. Government institutions and structure is well set for response and not for climate risk reduction.
6. Absence of official mandate to engage staff of relevant government departments to integrate
climate risk reduction
8. Government has no resources to facilitate this kind of climate risk reduction processes at the
community level
9. There is a fear of creating dependency attitude among the community
Critical issues requiring attention
• Addressing diversified needs of people relevant to reduce causes of vulnerability especially
including gender issues
• Through the formation of village based community organization, institutional linkage and
relationship building between CCMCs and government departments the project has created some
sustainability potentials. However, the utterances of CCMC members presented in Table 4 inform
that CCMCs are not yet confident enough to take up the process by their own. Reasons of not
being able to run the process are:
• CBOs have no enough funds to operate at village level
• CBO don’t have its own staff to facilitate the processes on a long term basis
11. Participation
According to the Table 7, all the respondents were of the view that the project has created congenial
environment for women’s participation. On a scale of 1 to 100, both male and female respondents
were in agreement that women participation in community development activities has gone up from 5
to 70%. Data in Table 7 also complement that now women are more aware about women rights and
raising collective voice and actions to establish their rights to participate.
