Strengthening/establishment of local Cooperatives to manage more complex schemes like irrigation, micro-hydro and promotion of commercial agriculture were also successful. Using checklists, data disaggregation and mandating equal participation of women and excluded groups in the planning and implementation was also very important to ensure gender sensitivity, as well as specific trainings and activities geared towards women representatives, intergenerational dialogues etc., especially in regards to menstrual hygiene and in local languages. Using a blanket approach, i.e. full coverage of drinking water, sanitation and hygiene services in its entire working area, i.e. no one left behind, was extremely important to address exclusion. Targeting vulnerable populations to the detriment of others (who may be less vulnerable, but still facing a lot of deprivations) can be counterproductive in terms of acceptance of the programme. Promoting multiple uses of water-systems (MUS), i.e. domestic water supply schemes are connected to irrigation and/or water based energy production was also an important point to increase the resilience of the community.."}, {"bbox": [87, 498, 399, 528], "category": "Section-header", "text": "## 3.5 The Intervention Logic"}, {"bbox": [97, 590, 605, 615], "category": "Text", "text": "The underlying intervention logic for this action is that:"}, {"bbox": [135, 617, 1160, 722], "category": "List-item", "text": "- If local and provincial governments in Karnali and Sudurpashchim have the legal framework and the institutional capacity (human resources) to practice sustainable, inclusive and participatory environmental conservation and management of natural resources, and they allocate their own funding and lead in the processes,"}, {"bbox": [135, 723, 1160, 800], "category": "List-item", "text": "- If local stakeholders and disadvantaged communities have the capacity and tools to ensure the sustainable, resilient, inclusive management and conservation of forests, biodiversity and watersheds, and migration remains at similar recent levels,"}, {"bbox": [135, 802, 1160, 879], "category": "List-item", "text": "- If rural municipalities, communities and third parties have the capacity and tools to ensure the sustainable, resilient, inclusive conservation of water resources, and WASH, and the capacities for maintenance remain stable,"}, {"bbox": [97, 908, 1160, 1014], "category": "Text", "text": "Then, stakeholders can effectively practise sustainable and climate resilient natural resource management and participatory environment conservation, because previous experiences have proven that promoting a strong local ownership while iteratively increasing capacities on sectors of primary concern such as water, forests and livelihoods will ensure the continued implementation of behavioural changes."}, {"bbox": [97, 1015, 145, 1038], "category": "Text", "text": "And,"}, {"bbox": [135, 1040, 1160, 1093], "category": "List-item", "text": "- If urban municipalities plan and implement gender transformative DRR urban planning measures, and allocate sufficient funding, and use government systems,"}, {"bbox": [135, 1094, 1160, 1146], "category": "List-item", "text": "- And If municipalities have the human and financial capacity to implement their LAPAS in a gender responsive manner, and the federal government allocates additional resources for their implementation,"}, {"bbox": [97, 1173, 1130, 1226], "category": "Text", "text": "Then, municipalities will have adopted gender responsive climate change adaptation measures because there will have been effective gender equality and social inclusion mainstreaming at all levels of the action."}, {"bbox": [135, 1227, 1152, 1304], "category": "List-item", "text": "- If local governments effectively practice sustainable and climate resilient natural resource management and environment conservation, and there is no major disruption in the electoral transition with the new local elections,"}, {"bbox": [135, 1306, 1160, 1385], "category": "List-item", "text": "- And if the climate change adaptation measures that are adopted mainstream gender responsiveness, reducing the impact of climate change for women and other populations in vulnerable situations, and these are continued in similar processes that are conducted by the local governments,"}, {"bbox": [97, 1411, 1118, 1490], "category": "Text", "text": "Then, local and provincial governments in Sudurpashchim and Karnali adapt to climate change and practise sustainable and climate resilient natural resource management and environment conservation, because they will have integrated these issues in their development policies and their implementation."}, {"bbox": [97, 1491, 1151, 1570], "category": "Text", "text": "The programme takes advantage of the transformative window of opportunity of the implementation of the new federal system, where local governments have increased funding and responsibilities, but need support to maximise impact, while ensuring sustainability and inclusion."}, {"bbox": [97, 1571, 1139, 1624], "category": "Text", "text": "The action is designed following the best practices of previous projects, using government systems and promoting strong local ownership."}, {"bbox": [1028, 1681, 1142, 1705], "category": "Page-footer", "text": "Page 13 of 21"}]
