of CRF at district/division/village levels, developing new monitoring tools to ensure
sustainability of the process after the exit of the pilot project, creating a “Community
of Practice” (CoP) at district level under District DMC by establishing a resource pool
of CRF Master Trainers/Facilitators, fine-tuning/complementing the trainer guide for
the purpose of training the CRF Facilitators at district/division level, and updating the
current model from the lessons drawn from the replication and advocate it for further
uptake from the national to village/city levels. Finally, the gaps in the integration
of climate risks into the risk-sensitive development planning need to be addressed
by further reinforcing the Linkages between Disaster Reduction, Development, and
Climate Change Adaptation (LDRDCCA).
