Abstract
Community Action Plans for four pilot communities (Wagettera, Nabega, Gendawuha and Ttez Amba) around flood affected communities in the Fogera Floodplain, prepared based on a participatory consultative planning process, which identified the following actions: (1) enhancing community participation and use of early warning systems; (2) reducing the impact of physical isolation due to floods; (3) upgrading community preparedness and response capabilities; (4) enhancing community awareness and building the capacity of communities to prepare for and manage the incidence of floods. This activity was part of the World Bank supported Flood Preparedness and Early Warning Project Phase I (FPEW I) which was implemented by ENTRO from 2007 – 2010.
