Crafting and Reviewing SMART Objectives
Step 1: General Adaptation Goal: Increase the community's resilience to frequent flooding to protect homes and food security.
Step 2: SMART Objective: Install 50 household-level raised homestead platforms in the three most flood-affected villages of northern Bangladesh, reducing annual flood damage to housing by at least 60%, using locally sourced materials and community labor, with completion and post-flood assessment by the end of the 2025 monsoon season.
Peer Feedback Example: Your objective to “train 30 farmers in saline-tolerant cropping techniques by 2026” is specific and time-bound. To strengthen it, consider adding a measurable outcome, such as “increasing crop survival rates by 40% post-flood,” and briefly note how local resources (e.g., seed banks, extension officers) will make it achievable. This would better link the training to tangible resilience against flooding. Well done on aligning it with the key climate risk
