HOW LONG, WHOSE
RESPONSIBILITY, ETHICAL
QUESTION,
• Many extreme poor households lack an able-bodied family member,
making it hard to identify suitable income-earning activities.
Household with no able-bodied member,
but a small of land, develops a productive
garden with an able-bodied neighbor.
Regular source of income is not impossible
through CSG’s support

Progress at Outcome Level
Capacity building and Coordinated efforts at all levels
are essential to benefit BHHs
Periodical training, continuous updates and
feedback with planned follow up actions has
helped staff committing for the deliverables
Regular
Courtyard
sessions
raised
awareness
and practice
good habits
UDMC
periodical
meeting has
helped BHHs
to share their
needs related
to DRR plans
and actions
Lessons learned during Phase 1
Context analysis helped to set operational strategies/plans
Understanding of selection criteria needs ground experience
of working with extreme poor
Addressing gender based inequality is necessary for
sustainable graduation
Micro planning involving all members including children has
ensured participation and build confidence of staff and HHs
Planned delivery of productive assets, relevant skills, social
awareness can improve HH performance
Lessons learned during Phase 1
Continuous engagement through local Community Mentors and Community
Support Groups has helped households to make decisions and seek support
The tools are found to be highly effective and ensured transparency and
accountability of project deliverables
Involvement of local government institutions, local entrepreneurs and
government service providers is found playing an important role for the HHs
Knowledge and practice of emergency preparedness, disaster risks reduction
measures are found reducing vulnerabilities and preventing loss and damage
Proper monitoring and evaluation, research, assessments and lesson
learning improves interventions and can help evidence based policy
advocacy- within and outside the organization
