title:

6. Living with floods rather than flood control: It is recommended that ILO in its programming continues to focus on helping flood-affected communities to adjust farming systems to flooding, and only consider the more costly soil conservation and flood control measures if implementation and maintenance are affordable for all affected people, also those not supported during the project, but are expected to adopt technologies and practices. The inclusion and design of future interventions should be informed by continued monitoring of success, adoption and replication for the interventions started and completed under the evaluated project. a. Smallholder Tea. Ensure that improvements are feasible, affordable and available for all smallholders, regardless of whether efforts are paid for by the tea smallholders themselves, subsidized government programmes or the private sector. b. Home Gardens: Focus on the poorest and most flood-vulnerable families and ensure that demo gardens should be “owned” and accessible by all households. c. Flood resilient varieties for rice and other crops. The proposed continued monitoring should include monitoring of farmer-to-farmer seed exchange and be done in cooperation with the Natural Resources Management Centre and government extension agencies to ensure effective information and data sharing. d. Protection of river areas and fragile environments by Kithul plantation e. Other flood resilience improvement opportunities can be explored, e.g. a) Gem mine or quarry planning and management, b) Natural resource management for small scale industries
