The project ‘Strengthening Institutional and Community Resilience to Disasters and Climate Change’ was formulated under the GoI-UNDP Country Programme Action Plan (2013–2017). AIDMI was invited to conduct the evaluation with project stakeholders, and partners. The key objective of the programme is to strengthen the capacities of government, communities and institutions in fast tracking implementation of the planning frameworks on DRR and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA). The components of the project were – mainstreaming DRR and CCA; urban risk reduction; technical assistance and capacity building; support for knowledge management; and enhancing the resilience of vulnerable communities to cope with disasters and climate variability by implementing scalable demonstrative pilot initiatives. The project was implemented in Assam, Andhra Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Kerala, Maharashtra, Odisha, Sikkim, Tripura and Uttarakhand.
