Step 1: General Adaptation Goal
Goal: “Enhance community resilience to frequent flooding.”
Step 2: SMART Objective
Specific: Establish community-based flood management measures, including flood shelters, elevated crop plots, and rainwater drainage systems.
Measurable: Track the number of shelters built, crop plots elevated, and households benefiting. Monitor flood damage reductions annually.
Achievable: Use existing local materials and labor; partner with NGOs for technical guidance.
Relevant: Directly addresses flooding, which is the main climate risk in the area.
Time-bound: Complete initial implementation within 24 months.
SMART Objective:“By December 2028, construct five community flood shelters, elevate 50 crop plots, and implement drainage systems in three flood-prone villages in northern Bangladesh to reduce flood-related damage to homes and crops.”
Great work! The goal is clear, and the SMART objective is specific and actionable. Progress can be easily measured by the number of shelters, crop plots, and villages covered. It’s realistic with local resources and NGO support, directly addresses flooding, and has a clear deadline of December 2028. Very practical and well thought out!
