General Adaptation Goal Improve the resilience of rural communities in northern Bangladesh to frequent flooding
SMART Objective
“Construct raised flood protection barriers and provide flood preparedness training for residents in five flood-prone villages in northern Bangladesh by December 2027, aiming to reduce flood damage to homes and crops by 25%, with progress monitored through annual local government reports.”
Specific: Build flood barriers and train residents.
Measurable: 5 villages covered and 25% reduction in damage.
Achievable: Uses community participation and local government support.
Relevant: Directly addresses the flooding problem.
Time-bound: To be completed by December 2027.
The objective clearly addresses flooding, which is the main climate risk in the scenario. However, it could be improved by including measurable indicators, such as the number of households protected or the percentage reduction in crop losses.
