General adaptation goal: Strengthen flood resilience in the rural community
SMART objective criteria:
Specific: Construct low-cost raised drainage channels and flood protection systems
Measurable: 100 flood-prone households, 25 hectares of farmland, and at least 40% reduction in flood damages are good indicators for measurement.
Achievable: Feasible with the use of local materials and the use of limited government resources.
Relevant: Address the key climate risk affecting the rural community which is frequent flooding.
Time-bound: To be completed within 7 months before the next monsoon season.
Rewritten SMART objective: Within 7 months, construct low-cost raised drainage channels and flood protection systems using local materials to protect at least 100 flood-prone households and 25 hectares of farmland in northern Bangladesh, reducing damage to homes and crops by at least 40% during the next monsoon season.
