The overall desired outcome of the project is that communities in the identified project areas are active in disaster risk reduction and practice conservation of natural resources. This project will combine two approaches to flood and drought disaster risk reduction; Ecosystem based disaster risk reduction (eco-DRR) and Community Based Disaster Risk Reduction (CB-DRR.) Using these principles, the CBED project will build the capacity of communities in the Panj Amu and Northern river basins to cope with and recover from the impacts of natural hazards. The project will be implemented in 30 micro water sheds, targeting 285 000 people, in six sub-basins of these two river basins. The proposed project is in line with the Afghanistan National Peace and Development Framework (ANPDF), Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR) and endorsed by the Afghan National Disaster Management Authority (ANDMA). The project includes 6 provinces in Afghanistan: Badakhshan, Takhar, Bamyan, Samangan, Sari Pul and Jawzjan, identified based on their vulnerability to floods and drought. Afghanaid will be Sida's agreement partner for this proposed intervention. Sida assesses that the CBED project has great potential to reduce vulnerability to floods and drought in Afghanistan and thereby contribute to strengthening the humanitarian development nexus.

Result
Photographs of the project sites taken during the End-line survey, at the same places and angles as those taken 1.5 years later during the base-line survey, verify implementation, and scope of the work done. There has been a demonstrated rise in Eco-DRR practices to reduce risk of flood and drought. This include implementing 83% of planned flood protection measures, 89% of planned rangeland development measures, 76.5% of tree plantation, 96% of water conservation measures and 95% land improvement measures. Implementation of practices promoted in CBED have contributed to a reduction of impact of natural hazards in the communities, with cumulative decrease of 87.5% on impact of floods and 77% on impact of droughts. There has been visible and constructive engagement of the locals in the physical works of the project, overall, there is 84% increase in community led physical mitigation work. The women-centric skill-training programme of gabion weaving has been a game-changer, paving the way for their much-needed multidimensional empowerment.
This disaster risk reduction project is build around four proposed outputs: 1) Enhanced institutional capacity at multiple levels on ecosystem based, gender and conflict sensitive DRR principles and practices; 2) Strengthened resilience of communities for mitigating risk of flood and drought; 3) Ensured engagement of vulnerable households of the local communities in physical works of the projects and; 4) Increased awareness among policy makers and opinion makers as well as practitioners on evidence-based eco-disaster risk reduction. Delivering these outputs through a number of defined activities should according to the theory of change (and provided that no major risk identified for the project implementation materialises) lead to the desired outcome that targeted communities are active in disaster risk reduction and practise conservation of natural resources.
