• Three tiered structure for skills transferCDMP+ NARRI Community Vol Community• Initial Training followed by hand holding support in the
field• Till date 60 (rural) and 30 (urban)• CRA RRAP : Community at the center of processes

reinforcing the needs• Project management and advocacy team• Action matrix (activity, timeline, budget and
budget source)• Bottom to top: sharing• Management, transparency and
accountability mechanism sharing• Target: Self, SSN, ADP, NGOs, CDMP04/11/23 13
Implementation of RRAP

Recommendations and Challenges• Universalize (Pan Bangladesh): Mandatory, Incentivize• Capacity Enhancement of Community and Community
Resource Persons (PMC)• National level resource base: data• Disaster: A development issues (finding of CRA into ADP)• Resource flow: Management, Transparency and
Accountability • Assumes a good coordination: Dynamics, Conflict,
Politics: Realistic ???• Up-scaling the model: how, what, resources???
