Short term goal Medium term goal Long-term goal
Objective 1: To provide housing and sanitation

Female headed households; Elderly; Handicap • Selection process (Identification of
beneficiaries)– Government records (natural disaster record)– Community advisory board(CAB) recommendation
Objective 1: Intervention
• UNDP Model Homes– Resistant to category 4 cyclones– Culturally acceptable – Facilitate rain water harvesting– Accommodate expansion
• Latrine– Flood resistant latrines– 1 unit per three families
• Shelters– Flood resilient– Accommodate 800-1000 persons +livestock– Will serve as schools and community centers
Objective 2: To improve access to safe drinking
• Target Population– Home beneficiaries– Other community members
Objective 2: Interventions
• Rainwater harvesting– Water storage tank (3,200L)– 9 liters per day for family of 6– Tank is used for 4 months– 1 Tank per 3 families– Can be made locally in the community
Objective 2: Interventions
• Water Treatment – Moringa seeds-
• Microbial • Salinity• Turbidity
Objective 2: Interventions
• Water Treatment – Moringa seeds-
• Microbial • Salinity• Turbidity
– Water filters• Arsenic filtration
Objective 3: To increase adaptability to extreme climate changes
• Target Population– Individuals in target community– Special emphasis on women
Objective 3: Interventions

Project Evaluation• Community based committees will routinely engage in self
monitoring to measure progress of community development and sustainment.
• Records of projects will be maintained at the community and administrative levels to conduct process and outcome evaluation
• External evaluation will be conducted during implementation and on a six month basis during sustainment to supplement community self evaluation efforts.
• Impact evaluations– Final Impact Evaluations
