Project Description:

This project emerged from a Planning Grant that funded a technical study, which calculated that the community has for a while been suffering from a water deficit of 29% per day. With the impacts of CC, the expectation is that the situation will deteriorate and exacerbate the outmigration which is occurring and the negative impacts on agriculture and livelihoods. The goal of the project is to: “increase the capacity of the community of Bouton to carry out rainwater harvesting and household water management.” The objectives are to: “(i) install thirty-eight (38) rain water harvesting systems with full disinfection amenities and a pumping devise to twenty five (25) homes in the Bouton community within eight months of project commencement; (ii) build resilience through education of at least 38 residents of the Bouton community on various aspects of housholds water management before culmination of the project; and (iii) build capacity of the Bouton Community Development Committee for effective project management within the first month of project execution.”

The project will contribute to two outcomes in the CBA – CPS, id est, “complementary and supplementary water resources for households and community established and protected as a means of increasing resilience; and (ii) capacity of existing structures and systems improved to create learning and nurture civic responsibilities.”

The baseline VRA score was 2.5 which emphasizes the lack of capacity in the community to address the impacts caused by CC.
