Study objectives
• Confirm the characteristics and key determinants identified in the
first phase of the CBDRR Study (conducted in Asia), to begin to
identify similarities and differences between geographical
regions.
• Identify and document ‘lessons learned’ in the design and
implementation of previous CBDRR projects in the LAC zone.
• Contribute to the technical knowledge of the IFRC.

Results from Phase 1: Asia
• Key elements of a successful CBDRR programme?
• Key determinants that supported or challenged the design and implementation of CBDRR
programmes, and their sustainability within the communities?
What did we aim to examine?
What are the key
characteristics of a safe
and resilient community?
What are the key
determinants of a
successful CBDRR
programme?
[1] Characteristics of a safe and resilient
community?
• What are the characteristics or key aspects that a community thinks make it safe and
resilient?
• Are any of these general characteristics, common to all communities, regardless of their
location across different coutries and regions?

What are the key
characteristics of a safe
and resilient community?
What are the key
determinants of a
successful CBDRR
programme?
[1] Characteristics of a safe and resilient
community
• How can an understanding of the characteristics of a safe and resilient community be
used to help design CBDRR programmes?
A safe and resilient community...
… is knowledgeable and healthy.
... is organised.
... has infrastructure and services.
... has economic opportunities .
... can manage its natural assets.
... is connected.
[1] Characteristics of a safe and resilient
community
How can an understanding of the characteristics of
a safe and resilient community be used to help
design CBDRR programmes?
[2] Key determinants of a successful
CBDRR programme
• A key determinant is ‘...a critical factor that influences the immediate and long-term
impact of a CBDRR programme...’
• We aim to identify:
– ‘the key determinants of a successful CBDRR programme’
– ‘the most effective activities and services (in terms of sustainability, as well) in the
context of these key determinants’

CBDRR programme
Enabling environment
Programme design
Programme implementation
The motivation and capacity of: • The community and
community leaders; • RCRC stakeholders and
the strengths of relationships between them;
• External actors (government, NGOs, private sector) and the strengths of relationships between them.
Level of community participation and ownership of the programme.
Sufficient time to implement CBDRR programmes.
Level of integration of CBDRR programmes with other sector interventions.
Sufficient funding to implement CBDRR programmes.
Having a balance between standardisation and flexibility.
Adequate assessment, monitoring and evaluation procedures.
