e) A three-day Training of Trainers workshop; f) Report on the Training of Trainers workshop; g) Community-based Climate Change and Disaster Risk Reduction Plan h) Final report on the consultancy. 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. 6. Work plan The Special Services Contract between CDEMA and CANARI was signed on 2 July and envisages a project completion date no later than 1 March 2011. However, CDEMA has requested that CANARI seek to complete the project by 19 December, and it is on this basis that the project has been planned. A detailed work plan for the consultancy is submitted as a separate Excel document entitled Appendix 3 Work plan 20
7. Risks The major risk attached to this consultancy is the extremely tight timeframe for implementation as a result of the lengthy negotiations, which have resulted in the proposed period for implementation being reduced from eight months to six. The specific risks related to this include: a) delayed feedback from the CSSSC on any component could create a knock-on effect, resulting in delayed implementation of subsequent activities; b) communities not available during the proposed week for delivery of the pilot community training programmes; c) trainers not available during the proposed week for delivery of the pilot Training of Trainers workshop; d) potential CANARI involvement in capacity building of and support for civil society organisations attending the UNFCCC Conference of the Parties in Mexico in November 2010, which may involve one of more of the Associates; e) disruption of workshops as a result of storms or hurricanes. The main way in which CANARI is seeking to mitigate these risks is through the composition of its project team. While each member has been allocated specific areas of the project to implement, there is considerable overlap in terms of skills and experience as well as a flexible approach, which means that one member of the team can step in and assist or take over from another should the need arise. Nevertheless, CANARI is not in a position to fully mitigate all the risks listed above and we therefore recommend that CDEMA notify the Austrian Development Agency of these risks and negotiate a potential extension to the project in the event that one or more of these risks becomes a reality. 21
