Meetings with civil society actors and authorities will be held to inform them of the proposed project, promote KDF as an NGO working with DRR and include them in the preparation and implementation. An overall internal understanding of the need of a participatory approach using capacity building and advocacy as a main tool will be discussed, including the level of participation needed throughout the project cycle.
