SUPPORTING COMMUNITY RESILIENCE (SCORE)

Climate Change & Environmental Protection

UNDP Pakistan's SCORE project, with local partners, enhances disaster resilience in 30 KP, Baluchistan, and Sindh communities. It shifts from external aid to community-led action through skills training, local collaboration, and mitigation plans. In Tharparkar, with UNDP support, GEESE-CRI's ICBDRM project focuses on six high-risk villages in UC Mithrio Bhatti and UC Vejhiar. Government representatives and GEESE-CRI staff received CBDRM training, leading to inclusive VDMCs prioritizing vulnerable groups. VDMCs were trained in risk assessment, using tools to identify drought and animal disease as key hazards. Collaborative DRR plans and vulnerability surveys were created. The project highlighted Tharparkar's need for structural mitigation due to climate change's impact on water resources and livelihoods. Restoring livelihoods via vocational training, livestock management, and improved health through initiatives like kitchen gardening is crucial for resilience.
