The INCREASE Project has committed to holding four (4) learning exchanges engaging local implementing partners and partner communities across provinces to share DRR CCA / IRM good practices, ideas for sustainability and upscaling, innovations, and evidence from which these are based.
Similarly, the project has also committed to producing four (4) research briefs/communication materials, or case stories, from DRR CCA / IRM good practices and innovations documented to be published through RILHUB.
This partner-level learning exchange is the second part of the INCREASE Cross-Learning Platform for Resilience-Building Session 2. The learning questions raised to partners are the following:
- What risk reduction and climate change adaptation measures have the FHH/farmers adopted during the project period?
- What are the indigenous and modern farming practices that you have adopted throughout the years, and which among these do you plan to continue?
- How does livelihood diversification help individuals and communities reduce risks and reduce negative coping mechanisms?
- What factors drive women and men farmers’ and fishers’ adoption of climate-informed practice, and resilient livelihood strategies?
- What encourages incentivises them to be flexible to change, and become more open to becoming part of forward-looking assessments?
