PROBLEM  TREE

1.              core problem- reduced crop productivity and damaged houses due to frequent flooding

2.root causes- ·  Heavy monsoon rainfall

·     River overflow and poor drainage

·     Weak embankments

·     lack of flood‑resistant housing

·     Poor irrigation

·     water management systems

·     High dependence on agriculture

·     Poverty limiting household resilience

3.  Direct  effects

·  Crop destruction → food insecurity

·  Loss of income → deepening povert

·  Homes damaged → displacement of families

·  Increased vulnerability to disease outbreaks

·      Children’s education disrupted

2.           indirect effects-

·      Long‑term decline in agricultural productivity → reduced household income

·      Migration for work → loss of local labor force and skills

·      Disruption of children’s education

·      Malnutrition from repeated crop failures

·      Spread of waterborne diseases due to poor sanitation after floods

·      Divergence of resources repeatedly for emergency→ slowing long‑term development projects

·      Reduced trust in institutions if support is insufficient

·       Increased dependency on external aid rather than building local resilience

OBJECTIVE TREE

1.  Core objective- ncrease crop productivity and protect houses by reducing the impacts of frequent flooding

2.   Root Solutions- 

·       Improve drainage systems to manage river overflow

·       Strengthen embankments to reduce flood damage

·       Promote flood‑resistant housing construction

·       Upgrade irrigation and water management systems

·       Diversify livelihoods beyond agriculture

·       Provide financial support and safety nets to reduce poverty impacts

3.  Direct Objectives

·       Ensure food security through flood‑resilient farming practices

·       Increase household income by protecting crops and supporting alternative livelihoods

·       Provide safe housing to reduce displacement of families

·       Improve community health by reducing disease outbreaks after floods

·       Safeguard children’s education with resilient schools and emergency learning plans

,

4.  Indirect Objectives

·       Enhance long‑term agricultural productivity through climate‑resilient techniques

·       Create local job opportunities to reduce migration and retain skills

·       Strengthen nutrition programs to prevent malnutrition after crop failures

·       Improve sanitation and clean water access to reduce waterborne diseases

·       Allocate resources strategically so emergency relief does not slow development projects

·       Build trust in institutions through transparent and effective flood response

·       Strengthen local resilience to reduce dependency on external aid

General Adaptation Goal

Goal: Boost community flood resilience through early warnings and eco‑friendly drainage solutions.

SMART Objective

• Specific: Build a simple early warning system (SMS, radio, trained volunteers) and restore wetlands plus clear drainage channels in three villages.

• Measurable: Reach 1,200 households with alerts, train 30 volunteers, run drills every 3 months, restore 10 hectares of wetlands, and clear 1,000 meters of drainage.

• Achievable: Use local labor, volunteers, and low‑cost tools with NGO support.

• Relevant: Directly reduces flood damage to homes and crops.

• Time‑bound: Finish within 18 months, with a mid‑term check at 6 months.
