Case study
As part of the Partner for Resilience Programme, for this Community Managed Disaster Risk Reduction (CMDRR) project, the community itself identified its problems and proposed solutions to the adverse situation.
One of the main solutions identified to stop further deterioration the environment was moving them away from charcoal production and promoting new income sources by establishing a Saving Internal Lending Community (SILC) project to help initiate new income generating activities (IGA) for members of the community.
