5.2 Outcomes
By the end of the sub-project, it is anticipated that the following outcomes will have been achieved:
a) Consensus built among key regional stakeholders in CCA and DRR on the elements of a MCCCDRR
Programme.
b) Participants in the workshop in the two pilot communities have:
o increased understanding of what is happening globally and regionally in terms of climate change;
o improved ability to explain climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction and their
relationship.
o increased knowledge about simple adaptation measures that they can take as individuals and
communities to reduce their vulnerabilities and adapt to climate change;
o increased ability to discuss the climate change and disaster issues likely to affect their communities
overall, as well as specific groupings within it (e.g. how they may affect men and women differently
and the impacts on young and old, the poorest etc.);
o increased awareness of the tools and resource materials available to assess a community’s
vulnerability and capacity to respond;
o increased capacity to assist their communities in preparing for and responding effectively to climaterelated
impacts and disasters, including increasing the resilience of communities (and specific
groupings within it) and how to integrate response actions into existing coping mechanisms and
programmes (including early warning systems);
o improved access to and capacity to apply a number of tools and techniques for effectively
communicating climate change risks and responses to those most likely to be affected as well as to
lobby stakeholders who play key roles in the development of climate change and disaster
management policy;
o increased capacity to monitor changes in resilience through adaptation projects; and
o improved access to further resources designed to enhance community resilience to climate change
and reduce the impact of related disasters, including details of useful contacts at international,
regional and national level.
c) Increased capacity of participants in the Training of Trainers Workshop to facilitate and support effective
responses to climate change and disasters at community level in their respective countries.
d) Increased capacity of CANARI to support CCA and DRR programmes throughout the Caribbean region.
e) Networking of key stakeholders at community, national and regional level enhanced.
