SMART Objective for Flood Resilience – Uttar Bedkashi Union
Step 1: General Adaptation Goal
Improve community resilience to flooding and salinity intrusion in Uttar Bedkashi Union.
Step 2: SMART Objective
Specific: Raise and reinforce homesteads and promote saline-tolerant crops in flood-prone wards.
Measurable: Support 400 households to elevate homesteads and train 400 farmers on saline-tolerant crop cultivation.
Achievable: Utilize local labor, Union Parishad coordination, and NGO technical support within limited government resources.
Relevant: Directly addresses frequent flooding and crop damage affecting livelihoods.
Time-bound: Complete implementation by December 2027.
Rewritten SMART Objective:
“By December 2027, elevate 400 flood-prone households and train 400 farmers in saline-tolerant crop cultivation in Uttar Bedkashi Union to reduce flood-related housing and agricultural losses.”
Peer Feedback (Example):
The objective is clear and specific, targeting both housing and agriculture. It is measurable through the number of households and farmers supported. The timeline is realistic, and it directly addresses flood risks in the scenario. However, including a monitoring indicator (e.g., percentage reduction in crop loss) could further strengthen measurability.
