Inception Report - CDEMA

c) Inclusion of illustrations of tools:
The use of illustrations (diagrams and photos) of tools described in training material provides an
additional visual support for facilitators. This is particularly useful for facilitators who may not
have used a particular tool before.
d) Use of case studies
Descriptive, narrative case studies allow for real-life illustration of issues or concepts (see
material from IUCN et al. and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent
Societies, for example).
e) Sequential “how to guides”
Step by step guides help facilitators and participants work through processes sequentially and
when accompanied by illustrations, help users to “see” how a process might unfold (see, for
example, material from Bread for All and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red
Crescent Societies).
f) Engaging participants’ creativity
Many of CANARI’s workshops have successfully built on the exceptional creativity that many
Caribbean people possess by encouraging them to use painting or drawing, craft, singing,
poetry, dramatisation, mapping and other forms of expression to present their ideas and
findings. This works particularly well for strategic visioning (i.e. what would a resilient
community look like); designing communications to influence other community members;
institutional mapping; and strategic monitoring and evaluation (e.g. ‘body mapping’ of success).
The final version of the Programme framework will also include seek to address any gaps in
best practices identified during the course of the consultancy.
4. ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT
This document outlines a Programme to enable communities to increase their resilience to
climate change hazards. It provides guidance, tools and resources for National Disaster Offices
(NDOs), community animators and facilitators, community leaders and community-based
organisations to work with community members and other stakeholders to employ an integrated
approach to reducing community risks.
The Programme has been designed for communities in CDEMA’s 18 participating states but
may be applied wherever there are communities vulnerable to climate change.
Outline of this document and scope of hazards considered. These hazards (climate extremes)
include increased frequency of heat waves, increased flood events, increased incidences of
drought, increased hurricane intensity, sea level rise.
