Perspective of the results • Short term
– Channelling resources to local community institutions to develop resilience – Improvement of drainage systems at local level– Donors influence ULGDP fund – Mainstreaming climate change adaptation with the ongoing revision of the
master plan– Embrace participatory planning
• Long term– Develop climate change adaptation policy, strategic planning ITCP and
accordingly revisiting organizational setup and legal frames– Mainstreaming climate change in sectoral programs and projects– The need for establishing a steering committee– Coordinated and concerted action at regional level (Oromiya and Addis Ababa)– Building more water storage
Three pieces of advice to address identified challenges
1. Ensuring involvement of key stakeholder in policy making, planning, implementation and M & E process 1. Conduct political dialogue and negotiation at regional
level2. Important to participate local stakeholders in the
formulation of policy and planning
2. Establishing sustainable storm water management strategies – Devising effective urban edge management strategies – Overarching climate change adaptation strategies in the
policy and planning frames
Piece of advice
3. New upcoming elections (on April) would probably mean change of Mayor and councillors. The need to sensitize and create awareness to Mayor, councillors and officials about climate change and cluva results – Communicating in understandable way– Linking climate change adaptation
issues/strategies with the new political agenda
