Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme (CDMP II)
Ministry of Disaster Management & Relief

Livelihood of a household is secured if it has adequate and sustainable access to income and

resources
can meet basic needs (including adequate access to food,

potable water, health facilities, educational opportunities,


housing, time for community participation and social
integration)

Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme (CDMP II)

Livelihood of a household is sustainable if it can cope with and recover from the stress and shocks (arise

from climate change and disaster)


can maintain its capability and assets

provide sustainable livelihood opportunities for the next

generation

Impacts of Climate Change on Development and Livelihood


Climate change (rise of temperature and erratic rainfall and

climatic events: flood, drought, salinity and sea level rise)


will affect
Human systems (population, society and economy)
Agriculture: food production and nutrition
Water availability, quality and access to required water
Human health (due to water stress and various diseases)
Livelihoods of the poor (assets base, livelihood options,
employment, income and well being)
Infrastructures (houses, roads, embankments and
communication)
Ecosystems, biodiversity and resources (productivity of
land, water, fisheries, forest etc.)
Disaster preparedness
Development process, poverty alleviation/MDGs

Livelihood promotion (development-oriented programming):


diversification into agro-ecologically appropriate crops and NRM

measures (e.g. resilient crops, soil and water conservation);


creating alternative income-generating activities (e.g. activities to
develop small enterprise);
reinforcing coping strategies that are economically and environmentally
sustainable (e.g. seasonally appropriate off-farm employment);
improving on-farm storage capacity to increase the availability of buffer
stocks;
improving common property management through community
participation.
Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme (CDMP II)
Ministry of Disaster Management & Relief

Livelihood protection (risk reduction/mitigation-oriented


programming)
establishing contingency plans that can be implemented rapidly

before a significant erosion of household assets occurs;


protecting household livelihood systems to prevent an erosion of
productive assets (rehabilitation/ mitigation);
detecting local capacity of changes in livelihood and food
insecurity at an early stage;
protecting and improving infrastructures to enhance the long-term
viability and resilience of the communities.
Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme (CDMP II)
Ministry of Disaster Management & Relief

Livelihood provisioning (relief-oriented programming)


provisioning livelihood supports by providing food and meeting

other essential needs to maintain nutritional levels and save lives;


promoting education and household planning initiatives on health
and nutrition;
focusing community for livelihood interventions necessary for
chronically vulnerable populations.
