Society for Community Development (SOCOD) Nepal is a non-profit NGO working in Lamjung District, Nepal.It is only one member organization of DPNet Nepal from Lamjung District. SOCOD works in poor rural communities with marginalised groups, with the aim of improving livelihoods through empowerment and awareness. We are seeking funding to run a project on Community Based Disaster Risk Reduction Project proposal to rural communities. This intended aim is to increase awareness and effect, and the measures that can be taken to reduce risk to them, thus reducing their direct impact on these communities including death toll, injury, disease and long term recovery. As an agency working in a similar field and holding the same beliefs and values as SOCOD Nepal, we felt it appropriate to approach you for support towards this project. To ensure its successful delivery and its aim to increase and improve awareness of and capacity to cope with community based disasters and climate change. SOCOD Nepal requires support through funding to run this project. We very much welcome the opportunity to discuss this further with you and hope to receive your support.

Executive Summary Community based disaster risk reduction management (DRRM) is the process by which interventions, strategies and activities are defined by the community to reduce, mitigate or prevent the negative impact of hazard events. It can be categorised as hazard mitigation, vulnerability reduction and capacity building including reinforcing existing coping strategies. It is support for the implementation, facilitation and monitoring of this process which this proposal identifies, by explaining and identifying the steps, time frames and resources required to ensure a successful programme. 2. Description 2.1. Aim, Objectives and Scope 2.1.1 Aim The aim of the project is to reduce communities risk to disaster. 2.1.2 Objectives Objectives to meet this aim are as follows: > Empower communities to identify, manage and monitor their own community disaster risk reductions measures in a sustained and continued way. > Increase capacity and reduce vulnerability of communities to disaster. > Reduce the likelihood and resulting consequences of disasters on communities. 2.1.3 Scope The scope of the programme lies within 5 identified VDC's only and will consist of 6 stages: 1. Site selection. 2. Rapport building and understanding the community. 3. Community situational analysis. 4. Planning for solutions. 5. Establishing a community based organisation. 6. Implementing disaster risk management actions. Disaster risk reduction measures to be covered within the programme will be based upon the community situational assessment and community need, hence differing from between VDCs and resulting in a wide and far reaching scope of work. Activity must however fall into one of the following categories, see appendix 1 for expansion on these topics: 1. Health & hygiene. 2. Safe water supply. 4 3. Food security 4. Livelihoods 5. Mitigation 6. Disaster preparedness 7. Advocacy and networking Activities will not include large construction or engineering projects, such as the building of hospitals, roads or bridges, nor will it include the provision of technical specialist equipment, such as that for medical use. 2.2. Programme Outline The programme will be delivered by SOCOD Nepal and the community themselves who will have overall responsibility for its success. The programme consists of six stages which it is proposed will be completed over a three year time span, and is based on Nepal Red Cross Society recommended good practice from their own Community Based Disaster Risk Reduction programme. The target communities will be involved as a front player throughout this programme, to transform their own vulnerabilities into capacities. The programme will enable and facilitate the organization of communities to assess the risk, developing plans for turning vulnerabilities into capacities and developing and strengthening organizational structure. 2.2.1 Site selection To ensure resources are targeted at communities in most need, who are most vulnerable to disaster and who have the least capacity to cope a thorough site selection process will be completed. This will initially include the assessment of secondary data from the district profile developed by the district development committee and additional data from the National Red Cross Society chapter to identify hazard patterns and basic vulnerability and capacity factors. This data will preliminary be used to select and rank VDCs based on those most disaster hit. Following this initial sorting, the top 10 VDCs will be ranked and sorted against secondary parameters including the number of Dalits (disadvantaged population), illiteracy, mortality and morbidity, facilities and resources and the non-existence or low existence of other NGOs in the VDC. A score will be assigned based on these parameters and the VDCs then ranked and sorted to identify the top 5 VDCs targeted for support. Please see appendix 3 for the framework of VDC selection and ranking system. The top 5 VDCs will then be visited to confirm these parameters are accurate, and their willingness to be involved in the community based DRR programme. 2.2.2 Rapport Building & Understanding the Community Developing and building a rapport with the community is key to the success of the overall programme. With a community based approach their buy in, support and involvement is
