• Local First
• Ability to build local capacities
• Changing a culture of change from relief
• Analyze Symptoms- to-Underlying-causes
• Process , Program , Policy mobilization
• Ecosystem & Life Cycle Based approaches
• Reducing vulnerability & Drudgery
• Community link to Country & regional
• Advocacy-Action-Reflection-Research-Action

Extremists”: What Next?
• Odisha unfortunately is in the
path way of depressions and
cyclones formed in the Bay of
Bengal during south west
monsoon.
• With advance in global
warming and climate change if
sea storms acquire greater
destructive power as is being
forecast, the state will be
required to bear the brunt of
such storms which means all
the gains of development will
be washed away in
flood/storms waters.
• Vulnerabilities are Manifold

13. At the UN climate change talks in Bonn, it has been felt that there is a need to devise an
environment vulnerability index. With the big money expected to come from the
Adaptation Fund, it is important to develop a method to prioritize funding

Resilience Fund (CDRF) In India is being carried
out in the 08 State of India reaching to 77
villages.
• The objective is to reach 2682 villages of 29
districts during December 2009.
• UDYAMA a Participatory Organisations (POs)
facilitated with support from the Partner NGOs
resilience process at community.

17. • The Project Components include are baseline
established by the women community, resilience
mapping and planning, capacity development of the
women group and brining the women group to the
mainstream development program.
• Management of the CDRF funds development of the
village and surroundings to reduce vulnerability
• A community disaster fund that brings local priorities
and capacities of disaster prone vulnerable
communities to DRR programming was one of the key
recommendations Made by National Frameworks to
Local Action during workshop organized by ProVention
Consortium, GROOTS International and Huairou
Commission at the First Global Platform on Disaster
Risk Reduction in Geneva in June 2007.

18. Criteria:
• pilot was initiated & implemented the project
looking vulnerability and disaster risks.
• Must be a Local partner having grip over
community development process
• Formation of group initiatives
• Maximize importance on Women leader
• Linkages with Local PRIs and understanding on
vulnerability
• outreach to 52 GP in Cuttack, Kendrapada,
Balesore, Mayurbhanj, Nuapada, Bolangir and
Keonjhar Districts of Odisha then extended to Puri
• Resource Leveraged:-1200,000/- from mainstream

Risks & vulnerability in western Orissa

22. High Socio- and economic inequity
Skewed land distribution
Low productivity
High debts tarps/credits
Shifting from productivity to high profit
Livelihood displacement
Rituals systems
Unorganized
OVER HUNDRED THOUSAND POOR
PEOPLE MIGRATED
OUT IN DISTRESS

23. gain
& Pain
Food insecure for nine months
as a result people do migrate
for immediate employment
and economic gain finding no
other means
• Brought easily more dreadful
diseases like TB, HIV/AIDS,
followed by nutritional and
health hazards.
•Survival risk (covers food, water, health, nutrition and
basic needs)
• Social risk (covers community cohesiveness, ethical and
cultural relationships with better education, sanitation)
•Economical Risk (covers production, marketing, credit
and linkages)
• Environmental Risk (covers climate change and
temperature rise, deforestation and desertification) that is
moving towards desertification in western and inlands of
Orissa to generate a assured livelihoods.
Some times Sexually
Abused

24. • Increase gap between have
and have-not
• Increase in slums
• Health and sanitation
• Increased conflicts
• Reduced quality of life,
changes in lifestyle
• Disruption of cultural belief
systems
Social Impacts

25. Environmental Impacts
•Damage to animal
species
•Damage to flora and
fauna
•Damage to plant
communities
•Receding ground water
•Inundation of minerals
into fresh water aquifer
•Increase in temperature

26. What we do
LAND related
High % of unbunded uplands
Undulated & Uneven land & Accelerated
Soil erosion ,
less cultivable area
recurrent drought Frequent
op loss
single cropping
no diversification
water related…
Erratic & scanty rainfall
less storage capacity due to heavy
siltation
No proper drainage system
Low water retention , conservation
Poor water management
Forest related…
Commercial plantation leads to
Deforestation
Encroachment
Degraded and Eroded
reduced NTFP
Exposed rocks
Temperature hike & moving towards
desertification lead to Ecological imbalance
Titlagada becomes tatlagada
Institutiom related
Poor intra and inter relationship
 Village institutions not institutionalized
 Poor cohesiveness at village
 Poor governance
extension related
Poor linkages
• Skill mapping
• Poor delivery services
• Lack of awareness on gender and
diversity
• Less awareness on utilization of
government scheme
• Poor literacy rate
• 80% households are resource poor and
BPL
• Poor wage employment opportunity leads
to distress sale
• No holistic plan
Immediate Employment
to vulnerable families
More land under
cultivation with
drought proofing
Address distress
migration
Create common assets
like waterbodies and
enterprises which shall
self generate the
options to absorb these
labor forces in future
Groom community level
institutions (CLIs) as
local social safety net:
the first-aid to fight out
the disasters with their
own capacity

Process

Exclusions
A New Approach
Capacity Building

these approaches and dissemination
and development of good practices.
Advocacy
Sensitization to larger fora
Institution building and enabling
environment
Formation of local regional and
national networking with similar
groups and organization with an
objective of enabling environment
and wider replication and scaling up
Action & Reflection
Improving the livelihood
condition of
vulnerable sections
through self-help
process.
Develop an assured
development
network by creating
community assets
and
Strengthening natural
resource base to
enhance economic,
social, physical and
human capital

75. Three themes
1. Sustainable development is threatened by
increasing disasters.
2. Development practices and investments need
to systematically taking into account the risk of
natural and related hazard.
3. Learning to leave with risk -Education,
professional training and exchange information
are one of the most powerful forces to cut
disaster risk. Hence it is required at the start of
the decade on education for sustainable
development, to expand educational and
training process to develop a broader culture of
prevention
• What will tomorrow hold? Climate change,
deforestation ,rapid urbanization, spreading
diseases are among the many examples of
emerging trends that demonstrate the growing
consequences of disaster risks

80. Our Citizen action:-envisage broad based
initiatives with a focus on:
• Enhance empowerment and capability
through linking to the broader view of
poverty
• Highlights the crucial role of ‘context’
(especially vulnerability context)
• how this influences the asset base,
selection of livelihood strategies and
the outcomes for households
• Giving space to advocate local initiatives
• Livelihoods with adequate
diversification & convergence
• Build on what exists - a multi-
dimensional, integrated perspective
• Capacity building of CBOs & NGOs – ‘self
sufficiency’ and ‘self employed’
• Simultaneous programming
• Institution building and enabling
environment
• Wider replication and scaling up for
reducing vulnerability thru a network
approach…
