Key Messages from Field Consultations
- Emergency shelter needed in landslide and flood prone areas
- Micro-financing / soft loan / insurance is needed.
- Water source conservation (integrated watershed management) / water
sharing national policy are needed.
- Integrated ecosystem (water-agriculture-forest) approach to combat climate
change risks is needed.
- Improved risk management for infrastructure (guidelines to construct local
road, and extract sand & gravel from river bed) is needed
-Improve connectivity (small road, bridge, culvert, boat) to have an immediate
access to safe sites/hospitals/ schools/food security, and early warning system
to better inform climate change risk management.

Some Observations
• Increased social conflict and forced migration (not
visible though) due to water resources drying/declining
• Drought/increased pest/weeds increased food insecurity
• Upstream downstream relation
• Social /farmers security systems
• Connectivity to basic services
• Community based disaster preparedness – plan
developed but insufficient resources to implement
Proposed Interventions
• Water source protections
• Food security
• Churia area conservation and management
• Ecosystems based adaptation/management/ (approach:
payment for environment services)
• Support community based disaster preparedness
