Step 1: General Adaptation Goal
“Enhance community resilience to frequent flooding in northern Bangladesh.”
Step 2: SMART Objective
SMART Objective:
“Construct and maintain raised flood shelters and implement flood-resilient crop planting techniques in six flood-prone villages in northern Bangladesh by December 2026, with annual monitoring of shelter usage and crop survival rates to track effectiveness.”
Breakdown:
Specific: Build raised shelters and introduce flood-resilient crops.
Measurable: Track number of shelters constructed, crop survival rates, and shelter usage.
Achievable: Focused on six villages; feasible with local government and NGO support.
Relevant: Directly addresses flooding risk impacting homes and crops.
Time-bound: Completion set for December 2026, with annual monitoring.
Peer Feedback Guidance
When reviewing a peer’s SMART objective, you can comment:
“Your objective is clear and specific, but consider adding a measurable indicator, such as number of households served or crop yield improvement.”
“The timeline is good, but is it realistic given the limited resources described in the scenario?”
“I like that your objective targets the key flood risk, but you could specify the villages or number of people benefiting to make it more measurable.”
