Overall Purpose of the Consultancy:
Assess the existing CBDRR models outlined in the Good Practice Guide which DanChurch Aid, Action Aid and PIN developed under their previous DIPECHO (the European Commission Humanitarian Aid Disaster Preparedness Department) programme and work with consortium partners to integrate nutrition elements into each of model and their associated trainings.
Background:
Natural disasters devastate lives and livelihoods. Cambodia is regularly exposed to a variety of natural hazards, most commonly: tropical storms, floods, drought and pest infestation. All of these hazards are highly likely to be aggravated by the foreseen impacts of Climate Change.
People in Need (PIN) is part of a consortium with ActionAid, DanChurch Aid (DCA), Save the Children and Oxfam. The Consortium has received funding from DIPECHO for the project “Building Disaster Resilient Communities in Cambodia II”  and to continue supporting DRR at national and subnational levels.
Throughout Cambodia malnutrition rates are very high among women and children (CDHS 2010- 40 percent of children under 5 are chronically malnourished). When disasters strike, many vulnerable people can easily become further undernourished due the decreased access to nutrients rich food. The CBDRR models which were developed by ActionAid, DCA and PIN during previous cycle of DIPECHO funding (2012-2014) are being implemented throughout the current project. An integration of nutrition sensitive elements into these models will allow the consortium to proactively work with communities in addressing nutrition sensitive topics so should a disaster occur that community might be better prepared to deal with nutrition related issues.
