1. Systematic management and use of climate risk information

• Existing climate hazard and vulnerability information compiled and integrated into a climate risk information system and database, coordinated by MED, contributing towards a comprehensive national climate change policy and long-term warning system.
• Development and implementation of climate vulnerability assessments, guidelines and tools which can inform district and sub-district level planning, in at least 5 districts.
• Platform for national dialogue and information sharing on climate risks established and coordinated by MED, based on the existing NAPA working group structure, delivering regular bulletins, information updates and policy briefs.
• Tailored and function based training and support in climate risk management for at least 75 national and district level technical staff (agriculture, forests, rural development, water supply, disaster management, rural infrastructure)

2. Inclusive planning and budgeting for reducing climate and natural disaster related risks

• Technical capacity enhanced for district level local assemblies to understand and integrate climate risk information, including climate induced disasters, into local planning, budgeting and budget execution, in at least 5 districts.
• Regular dialogues established between district officials, village representatives and local communities on the impacts of climate change and natural disasters on critical rural infrastructure, in at least 15 sub-districts across 5 districts.
• District annual action plans which combine climate resilience for rural infrastructure with ecosystem based measures, are developed and under implementation, in at least 5 districts, including technical review support.
• At least 100 district engineers and local contractors trained in climate risks to small scale rural infrastructure, as well as technical design elements of climate resilient structures.

3. Physical investment for reducing climate risks

• Small scale physical infrastructure (water storage and supply, roads, bridges, irrigation & drainage) designed, built and/or rehabilitated in at least 100 villages across 15 sub-districts and 5 districts (benefitting at least 100,000 people), to a specification that takes into account anticipated climate risks.
• Complementary soil and land management measures to build resilience to climate induced risks (natural retention of surface water, slope stabilization, groundwater infiltration) implemented at sub-catchment level in at least 10 sub-districts across 5 districts, covering at least 50,000 hectares.
• Codes and best practices for climate resilience measures for small scale rural infrastructure (including ecosystem based approaches and gender differentiated concerns) are developed, integrated into existing infrastructure guidelines and disseminated.
