The overall objective is to improve the resilience of disaster-affected and high-risk communities in Guinobatan Municipality on the slopes of Mayon Volcano by building their capacity to engage with duty bearers in obtaining access and resources for safer and more resilient settlements. This will be pursued through 1) At-risk households have a unified voice for claim-making through strong community-based organizations, 2) Community-based organizations are capable of advocating for safer and more resilient settlements through the processes of participatory planning and budgeting, and 3) The 15 most vulnerable and at-risk families have gained protection through access to safe and resilient permanent relocation. The targeted barangays have an estimated population of 16,244 and the intervention will deploy the methodology of barangay-level disaster risk-sensitive shelter planning (BDRSSP) in helping affected communities prepare for the eventuality of relocation or on-site risk-mitigation.
