Federation of Community Forest Users, Nepal (FECOFUN): Reducing Vulnerability through Implementation of Adaptation Plans (Hariyo Ban Program)
FECOFUN is an umbrella organisation of more than 18,000 community forest user groups in Nepal. As part of the Hariyo Ban Program, FECOFUN is facilitating the implementation of 53 community adaption plans of action (CAPAs) in two areas: the east-west Terai Arc region, and the north-south Chitwan-Annapurna region.
This poster gives an overview of the CAPA process and describes a health check-up tool that was developed to assess adaptation plans and establish an initial baseline to help measure performance over time. Information collected with the health check-up also provides a benchmark to assess changes in the adaptive capacity of women, poor and vulnerable communities.
Other development partners can use this tool to monitor their investments in community adaptation.
This poster was displayed at the 10th International Conference on Community-Based Adaptation (CBA10) in Dhaka, Bangladesh, in April 2016.
