Summary: | In Ethiopia, village surveys were
conducted in six villages and two expert workshops were
organized to discuss the organization of the study and to
evaluate the draft results. Based on household surveys,
focus group discussions, and institutional stakeholder
interviews, we assessed household vulnerability, analyzed
the strategies households adopt to reduce the hazards faced,
and evaluated the assistance households receive from
institutions. Vulnerability profiles were formulated, which
show that household vulnerability differs substantially
among and within villages. The size and diversity of income
and the ability to flexibly decide on alternative measures
to mitigate the adverse climate effects, which depends on,
for example, level of education and dependency ratio, have
effects on the adaptation options households adopt and the
type of institutional assistance they receive. This report
presents the results of the World Bank-funded project on
Costing Adaptation through Local Institutions (CALI). The
objectives of the CALI-project are: (1) to identify the
costs of adaptation through local institutions, and (2) to
investigate the institutions that support households in
adapting to climate variability, the efforts and costs
required to realize the adaptation options, and how they
facilitate adaptation to climate variability. The study has
been carried out in Ethiopia, Mali, and Yemen. This report
discusses the results for Ethiopia. |
