Locally based not-for-profit organisations within each region will work collaboratively with FRRR and a facilitator to design and agree upon a series of community driven projects or initiatives that will help the local community to be better prepared for drought into the future. All projects will be recorded in an agreed ‘Roadmap’ of local initiatives.
Where relevant, a key influence will be the projects, initiatives and/or social resilience themes identified in the adopted Regional Drought Resilience Plan (RDRP), as these will form the basis for initial discussion.
Projects may include:
Networks: Initiatives to strengthen the capacity, capability and collaboration of professional, social or community networks and/or locally based not-for-profit organisations.
Community Events: Field days, conferences, forums, summits and seminars that facilitate professional, social and community connection to build understanding of drought and climate related risks.
Training: Initiatives to improve skills, knowledge and capacity in community risk management, planning and project delivery in relation to drought.
Small Scale Community Infrastructure: Projects that improve local community meeting places, including purchase of minor equipment, to support increased usage, social connectedness and community wellbeing.
Development and Learning: Initiatives to facilitate professional, personal and leadership related development and learning to support drought preparation.
