The initial assessment was done from December 10, 2012 and January 11, 2013, in the Canton of Guayaquil (Guayas Province). This geographic zone was selected by CARE because of its strategic interest in working in urban areas and in the lower part of the Guayas River basin, since in other projects in previous years, the organization had worked in another rural cantons of the Guayas Province. This strategic interest is motivated above all by the organization’s desire and initiative to increase its presence and activities in marginal urban areas where exposure to natural and socio-natural threats, like floods, earthquakes or landslides are exacerbated by factors like high population density and structural causes like poverty, which over the past 20 years has helped to accelerate economic migration from the countryside to the city, as people seek better opportunities, and has increased the pressure on land, goods and services in urban and peri-urban cores. This strategic priority of working in marginal urban areas coincides fully with the orientations of the reference document “Ecuador, References for Risk Management 2013-2014”, prepared in late 2012 as a mandatory resource for working in DRR in Ecuador.

In mid-2012, CARE and the Municipal Government of Guayaquil made initial contacts to define the framework of collaboration and to agree, among other areas of work, on the process of identifying and formulating this DIPECHO proposal, which was written between December 2012 and January 2013.

The diagnostic assessment employed various techniques and sources of information, such as a literature and document review (“Ecuador, References for Risk Management 2013-2014,” the Strategic Plans of Bastion Popular and Nueva Prosperina, maps of areas affected by landslides in both neighborhoods, and previous studies on risks in certain vulnerable areas); interviews with key people and institutions (the National Risk Management Secretariat, the Provincial Risk Management Department of Guayas, the Risk Management Department of the Ministry of

Education, the Risk Management and Cooperation Office of the Municipal Government of Guayaquil, the Director and President of the Municipal Public Safety Corporation of Guayaquil, the Director of Plan Ecuador in Guayas, among others); visits to high risk areas in the pre-selected neighborhoods (Cerro El Jordan and Nueva Prosperina) and focus groups with neighborhood leaders and organizations (two groups, with the participation of approximately 40 people in each); and two planning workshops held with decision-makers, technicians and officials of the Municipal Government of Guayaquil (18 December 2012 and 09 January 2013.

CARE was responsible for leading and coordinating the assessment process, together with the Municipality of Guayaquil, through its Risk Management and Cooperation Office, and an external consultant specializing in DRR and familiar with the strategic framework of the DIPECHO Program who supported and facilitated the process. The staff members of CARE Ecuador who directly participated included the National Director (Fernando Unda), the DRR coordinator and technical personnel from the current DIPECHO project in progress (Pedro Carrasco, Roberto Brito and Manuel Espinoza), and CARE’s development officer (Paulina Montenegro). From the Municipal Government of Guayaquil, the Director of Risk Management and Cooperation (Juan Ramirez) participated, along with the head of cooperation (Monica Menendez), a representative of the risk management area of the Physical Planning and Infrastructure Department (Bolivar Sandoval), the Social Action and Education Department (Luis Torres), and finally an external expert consultant in DRR (Ignacio Cristobal).

2.2 Problem statement and stakeholder analysis * Max 3800 In the marginal urban neighborhoods and areas of the Canton of Guayaquil, one crucial problem is the significant losses, both material and in terms of human lives, caused by floods and landslides as a result of the intense rainfall during the winter (rainy) season, and these communities’ physical exposure to other threats that are less frequent but of considerable magnitude, such as earthquakes, given the fact that Guayaquil and its surroundings is considered to be a medium-high seismic risk area. This hazardous situation is the result of three elements: a multi-threat context which has historically affected Guayaquil Canton, primarily of geological and hydro-meteorological origin, especially floods and landslides given their frequency and earthquakes due to their magnitude (1); the existence, particularly in marginal urban neighborhoods, of various factors of vulnerability – environmental, physical, organizational, political-institutional, educational-cultural and socio-economic (2) and the limited installed capacity which prohibits local institutions from monitoring threats or providing an autonomous, timely and efficient response that is coordinated from the neighborhood level up through existing municipal authorities and structures (3).

With regard to earthquakes, there are historical records of how these have affected the city of Guayaquil with varying intensity. The earthquakes of 1942 and 1980 stand out, the latter measuring 6.1 on the Richter scale, leaving in its wake 10 dead, more than 100 wounded and severe damage to vital roads, infrastructure and buildings in the city. There has been an increase in landslides in recent years, specifically on hillsides and slopes of marginal urban areas, the primary causes of which are weather patterns, the intense rainfalls and accumulation of humidity, and human activity, through deforestation, inappropriate land use, the filtration of wastewater and leaks in the water supply grid. Flooding is quite frequent during the rainy season, from January to April, most often caused by the obstruction of waterways, water being dammed up by construction works, and the overflow of artificial and natural waterways combined with the traditional flooding in lower areas caused by the overflow of the Guayas River.

The main factors of vulnerability, are: environmental vulnerability related to deforestation and inappropriate land use, which causes accelerated erosion processes; physical vulnerability Final Version: 20th January 2013 6

Version 3.9 06/03/2012

related to the location of housing and other buildings along natural rainwater drainage paths and the filling up of those paths, construction along hillsides and slopes and anti-technical earth movements; organizational vulnerability, primarily in terms of the lack of neighborhood risk management committees and monitoring and early warning systems, and the absence of coordinated response protocols at the neighborhood and municipal levels; educational-cultural vulnerability, defined as the lack of awareness of threats and vulnerability which leads to a very low perception of risk on the part of the population; political-institutional vulnerability, related to limited “know-how,” planning instruments and processes that do not allow for the incorporation of risk management as a cross-cutting element; and socio-economic vulnerability associated with poverty and high rates of rural-urban migration, which accelerates urban population growth and leads to overcrowding and social pressure on goods and services like health care, education, land, housing, and others.

The analysis of key stakeholders revealed three levels of influence within the project the national level, the provincial/municipal level, the local/neighborhood level,.Please find full details in Annex_02

2.3 Summarise findings of the assessment (include full report in annex, if relevant) and link these to the Action* Max 3800

The main findings from the initial assessment process are the following:

- The residents of marginal neighborhoods have a low perception of risk, due to a lack of awareness of the threats and factors of vulnerability, which they themselves cause in many cases because they are unaware of the consequences of their actions.

- There is a predominance of low-quality construction and housing that does not meet construction standards or codes. These homes and buildings are located in high-risk areas, such as steep hills and slopes, on top of natural rainwater and runoff drainage paths, under high-voltage wires, etc.

- Lack of neighborhood organization around reducing risks, or instruments such as radios, sirens, rain meters or others to use to monitor threats and organize response efforts in the event of a disaster.

- The absence of early warning, communication and coordination mechanisms between the neighborhood and municipal level, which would allow for a coordinated and complementary response.

- There are no studies or updated information about the levels of risk in vulnerable marginal urban areas (i.e. hillsides, construction, risk maps, etc.) which would help municipal authorities to make informed decisions based on technical grounds regarding the legalization of lots and prohibiting construction in high risk areas.

- There is a high degree of insecurity and uncertainty on the part of many residents, who still do not have legal title to their lots, and who are afraid that they will not obtain those titles because they are in high risk areas.

- Basic services and infrastructure works (water, sewer, drains, etc.) are installed and repaired without proper information or technical studies based on the analysis of risks, and in some cases are done with anti-technical and inappropriate earth movement. (i.e. water pipelines that are damaged by landslides and then rebuilt in the exact same place)

- In some areas, there is insufficient garbage and solid waste management, which creates greater risks (Cerro el Jordan), and waterways, hillsides, slopes etc. are poorly maintained and protected.

- Limited knowledge of risk management methodologies, and DRR is not included in the Final Version: 20th January 2013 7

planning or intervention processes of the municipality.- There are no past or present strategies, programs or projects which have addressed the issue

of DRR in a comprehensive and sustained manner over time, linking the municipality with the local/neighborhood level.

- There is a need to strengthen communication and integrate the work of the Incident Command System, with the participation and involvement of all relevant public and private stakeholders.

The main findings of the assessment listed above are related to a lack of capacities, associated with some factors of vulnerability. Therefore, the projects’ strategy has been designed based on a specific objective of building these capacities, and four results, each of which is specially targeted to a specific factor of vulnerability, as we will see below.

Academy has on-line and face-to face training courses addressed to strengthen Emergency Teams in country offices.

CARE International has identified DRR as one of its priorities within the organization’s mandate regarding humanitarian assistance, reconstruction and development. Within CARE International, CARE Nederland is the centre of expertise in the field of DRR. At field level, CARE International has implemented specific DRR programmes worldwide, amongst others in partnership with ECHO.

Besides explicit DRR programming, CARE International has mainstreamed DRR considerations in a wide range of projects and programmes, in all the realms of emergency response, rehabilitation and sustainable development. In a number of regions risk mapping exercises have been conducted, further facilitating inter-regional learning and dissemination of best practices and processes.

CARE International has been present in Ecuador for more than 50 years; the first CARE programs in this country were responses to emergency situations. CARE Ecuador with the advice and leadership of CARE Nederland seeks to incorporate the variable of risk management and climate change adaptation, since this is the primary threat identified in the most conservative scenarios for the country. CARE’s programming has evolved with the passage of time, but its strategic goal continues to be reducing poverty world-wide.

Since November 2007 , and in close coordination with the regional management unit and the regional representation of the CI Emergency group the CARE Ecuador Emergency Response Team has made significant progress in terms of its capacity for disaster risk reduction. Currently, CARE Ecuador has: - An updated Emergency Preparedness Plan; - A Manual of Emergency Response Protocols and Procedures for CARE Ecuador;

ACTIVITIES:In Ecuador, CARE has engaged in several disaster preparedness projects, jointly with other partners. COOPI in consortium with CARE Ecuador executed the emergency project "Support to rural and suburban communities damaged by the floods in the five Provinces of the Coastal Area" in the Provinces of Esmeraldas, Manabí, Guayas, Los Ríos and El Oro (2002). CARE Ecuador and CARE Peru agreed to take advantage of the opportunity to develop disaster prevention and risk reduction work in the border area within the framework of the third and fourth DIPECHO calls, and were awarded funding for bi-national projects: FOCADES project (May 1, 2004 to July 31, 2005) and DECABI project (March 1, 2006 to May 31, 2007) whose overall objective was to reduce disaster risk (flooding) in two neighbouring municipalities and two provinces located on the border region of Ecuador and Peru.

CARE, in partnership with KNH Ecuador, executed the SINCHIRUNA Project: “Strengthening disaster preparedness and response capacities in the provinces of Chimborazo and Cañar, with an emphasis on the indigenous population,” in coordination with the National Risk Management Secretariat (May 2009 – Nov 2010).

Version 3.9 06/03/2012

been developing two important and quite recent initiatives in the Guayas province:

From May 2011 to December 2012, CARE, with ECHO funding, within the framework of action of DIPECHO VII, carried out the FOCAPRIN project (Strengthening Flood Preparedness and Response Capacities) in the cantons of Cumanda and Pallatanga in Chimborazo Province, and Bucay canton in Guayas Province, with an emphasis on adapting to climate change, the objective of which was to improve the disaster preparedness and response capacities of the communities and local authorities, and the resilience of flood-prone areas.

The project contributed to the creation of Municipal Risk Management Units in the cantons of Cumanda, Pallatanga and Bucay, which are equipped and have strengthened their disaster preparedness and response capabilities, with an emphasis on flooding. The municipalities mentioned have canton-level Risk Management Plans that have been completed and approved by local authorities.

At the community level, the FOCAPRIN project worked in 15 communities in the 3 cantons: in the communities of Buenos Aires, La Nueva Unión, Laureles, Isla 87, La Modelo, Producción Agrícola and Naranjapata in Cumanda; Chalo - Trigoloma, Barrio Jiménez, Pilchipamba, and Los Santiagos in Pallatanga; and in Bucay, the communities of Matilde Esther Centro, la Inmaculada Concepción, Fortuna Baja and San Francisco.

At present, the abovementioned communities have 4 brigades that are trained in: Shelter management, EDAN (Damage and Needs Assessment), First Aid and Search –Response and Evacuation. In addition, the 15 communities have community-level Risk Management Plans.

The project supported 10 schools in designing School Risk Management Plans, promoting broad-based participation among students, teachers and parents. In addition, drills have been implemented and the signage required for emergency situations and evacuations is in place.

The project helped to build and/or implement 12 small-scale infrastructure works, designed to be mitigation measures in high-risk areas.

During the rainy season, there was clear evidence of the effectiveness of the Municipal Risk Management Units, the importance of having strengthened local capacities at the community and canton levels based on their knowledge of their risks and resources and their abilities to use the basic equipment donated by the project. Each canton designed its Contingency Plan with the participation of representatives of government and non-governmental institutions and the civil society present in each place.

In addition, from 01 September 2011 to April 30, 2013, CARE is implementing the FOCAPRE Project (Building Preparedness and Response Capacities in the Cantons of Pallatanga, Cumanda, Bucay, El Triunfo and La Troncal), with funding from USAID-OFDA.. The main objective of this project is to “Build the preparedness and response capacities of vulnerable populations and institutions to improve their resilience to disasters.”

During this period, there have been synergies and complementary activities done between the FOCAPRIN and FOCAPRE projects (financed by ECHO and USAID-OFDA), there have been important lessons learned for all of the organizations involved, and the process has led to better and greater impacts to benefit the most vulnerable groups in this region. These lessons learned will be taken into account in the present project.

With regard to the presence of preparedness and response projects of other donors or actors in the Guayaquil Canton and the selected neighborhoods, the initial assessment did not find any

Describe exact location (annex map of Action location and reference here) * Max 1000The project will be carried out in the Canton of Guayaquil, which is a coastal city in western Ecuador, capital of the province of Guayas. It is located at the start of the Guayas River, whose estuary joins with the Gulf of Guayaquil.

The actions at the local/neighborhood level will take place in two areas that were selected due to their high levels of risk:

Cerro el Jordan and its area of influence: Located in the social development area known as Bastion Popular, this occupies a total area of 62.2 hectares and totally or partially includes Blocks 10, 9, 8, 7 and 6, with a total population of 7,048, living in 1,697 households (INEC 2010).

Nueva Prosperina (social development area): Occupies a territory of 378 hectares, with a total population of approximately 57,210 (INEC 2010), distributed among its 17 cooperatives and 1 pre-cooperative. The largest is the Nueva Prosperina cooperative, which is sub-divided into 10 phases and represents 1/3 of the entire territory.

Both Cerro El Jordan and Nueva Prosperina have their origins in the internal migration processes from the countryside to the city, together with the pattern of illegal land invasions led by the so-called “land traffickers”, which over time have grown and gradually integrated into and recognized as part of the urban area of Guayaquil, through processes of legalization and land titling, and the installation of basic services such as water, electricity and sewerage.

In Nueva Prosperina, 54% of the population is originally from Guayaquil, while 45.7% are internal migrants, of which 40.9% were born in the province of Manabi, 27% in Los Rios, 16.9% in other cantons of the province of Guayas, 4.7% are from Esmeraldas, among others. In terms of ethnicity, the majority are mestizos (mixed indigenous-European heritage), with a much smaller proportion of blacks or indigenous groups. As far as age groups, 42.2% of residents are in the 0-14 age group 22.8% boys and 19.4% girls), 55.3% are between 15 and 64 (27.4% men and 27.9% women), and only 2.5% are over 65 (1.5% M and 1% W). In general, the beneficiary population is very young, and 30% are under 10 years of age.

In Cerro El Jordan, the population statistics and reality are similar to those of Nueva Prosperina, with 43.5% of residents migrants from elsewhere in Ecuador – 48.1% from Manabi, 23% from other cantons in Guayas Province, 16% from Los Rios and 3.4% from Chimborazo, and 2.2% from Esmeraldas. Among the reasons given for migrating, 43% said they did so to follow family members, and 42% for work. As far as age groups, 35.8% of the population is 14 or under (18.5% male, 17.3% female), 62.1% are between 15 and 64 (31% male and 31.1% female), and 2.1% are over 65 (1.1% M and 1% F). In general the population of Cerro El Jordan is also very young, but somewhat older than Nueva Prosperina, since this settlement has been around longer; still, 23.2% of the population is under 10.

4.2.4 Direct beneficiary identification mechanisms and criteria * Max 3800 In order to select the project target areas (neighborhoods), we used two levels of criteria: primay and complementary. The main criteria are directly related to the levels of risk, that is the presence of threats and certain factors of vulnerability. For an area to be selected, if must first meet the primary criteria. Once the primary criteria are fulfilled, the complementary criteria are used, which are more directly related to elements of feasibility / viability, safety, legal framework and other issues.

Primary Criteria:

- Areas where a threat is present, preferably more than one threat, which when combinging the factors of frequency and magnitude, represents a latent risk for the population.

- Areas with latent risks which have already come to fruition in recent events of a certain magnitude (i.e. flooded homes, houses damaged by landslides, etc.).

- Areas where direct observation reveals hazardous situations caused by the actions of people which can be avoided and/or corrected (i.e. houses along natural water paths and beneath power lines, precarious construction on hillsides, etc.).

- Absence of organization and means to respond to emergencies- No preparedness or response projects are being implemented or planned- Marginal areas with high levels of poverty and limited livelihoods.

Complementary Criteria:

- Areas contained with the administrative and legal limits of the Canton of Guayaquil and the jurisdiction of the Municipal Government of Guayaquil.

- Areas where the Municipal Government of Guayaquil already had a “minimal” level of information and analysis about the risks and problems faced by the population.

- Areas where there are at least minimal community-based organizational structures that the project can work and coordinate with.

- Areas where the security conditions allow for a level of “acceptable risk” for the personnel involved in the operation.

- Areas where there is tentative acceptance on the part of local leaders and management committees

- Areas whose size, population density and access will allow for cost-effective interventions.- Places where the social programs of different departments of the Municipality of Guayaquil

are present and accepted.

While in Guayaquil there are many neighborhoods and at-risk areas that comply with all of the primary criteria, after applying the complementary criteria, the selection team reached the conclusion that the two chosen areas, Cerro El Jordan and Nueva Prosperina, were among the few neighborhoods which met all of the complementary criteria related to the a priori viability of project activities, given that this is a first experience of this kind in a large city, both for CARE Ecuador and for the Municipal Government of Guayaquil.

The selection of the institutional beneficiaries and organizations has not yet been made, in terms of specific people, but we have defined some a priori criteria, which will be adjusted on a case-by-case basis for each activity:

- People with responsibilities related to Risk Management in their organizations and institutions- People who because of their qualifications and role could replicate the methodologies learned

on a day-to-day basis, whether in the context of the project or other contexts.- Officials/ technicians from the Municipal Government of Guayaquil, the Ministry of Education

and other public institutions with mandates in the area of Risk Management.- Technicians and staff from organizations present and implementing development projects in

the target neighborhoods.

4.2.5 Describe to what extent and how the direct beneficiaries were involved in the design of the Action * Max 3800The project’s beneficiary neighborhoods participated in the assessment process through te management committees of the development areas of Bastion Popular, where Cerro del Jordan and Nueva Prosperina are located. In collaboration with the Social Action and Education Department of the Municipality of Guayaquil, two discussion groups were organized, where leaders from all sectors, institutions and organizations present in and working in both neighborhoods were invited. In all, about 80 people participated in the two events. During these discussions, the participants identified and share the main problems in relation to risks and suggestions were gathered on the priorities and possible solutions, while the project design team explained the lines of work and activities of the DIPECHO program. These discussions and consultations were complemented with on-site visits to the most vulnerable areas, where we also took advantage of the opportunity to talk directly with some neighborhood families and residents. As a result of the consultation process, the management and representation committees of Bastion Popular and Nueva Prosperina gave their backing and commitment to the project should it be approved (see annexes).

In regard to the beneficiary/participating institutions and organizations, during the initial assessment process, a number of meetings were held with them, in which priorities and capacity-building needs were jointly identified. In the case of the Municipal Government of Guayaquil, two planning meetings were held with the participation of the main strategic departments, specifically the Risk Management and Cooperation Department (DGRC), the Physical Planning and Infrastructure Department (DOIT), the Social Action and Education Department (DASE) and the Urban Planning, Appraisals and Registries Department (DUAR), in which the participants worked together to form the skeleton of the strategy for action and the logical framework. These municipal departments will play a dual role in being implementing partners of the project, but at the same time beneficiaries of various project components involving institutional capacity-building.

2.278.691 (población Guayaquil censo 2010)

Comments Max 3800

Estimating the exact number of indirect beneficiaries in an urban context like the Guayaquil Canton, which has a total population of more than two million and high population density, is not a simple task. However, given the context, we know that many of the project’s actions and activities will have impacts and effects beyond the two target neighborhoods. In this sense, we can propose the following areas of indirect influence for the project:

- The Population of Bastion Popular, not including Cerro El Jordan (67,306 residents)- Schools in the canton bordering the target areas:- The residents of the neighborhoods bordering Nueva Prosperina:- The population of Guayaquil with access to mass media like the radio and television, where

awareness-raising messages are broadcast.- Institutions and organizations present in other cantons of Guayas Province

During the life of the project, mechanisms will be identified to measure the influence of the project (starting with the baseline) among the groups mentioned above, and others that are identified along the way.

4.2.7 Direct beneficiaries per sector - Comments * Max 3800

The following table illustrates the approximate calculations of direct beneficiaries, based on four of the six sectors of intervention of the DIPECHO Program where the project plans to work. The estimated total number of beneficiaries is based on the assumption that the entire population of the Cerro el Jordan and Nueva Prosperina neighborhoods will directly benefit from three of the four components that the project will address in the neighborhood, with various organization, action and outreach. Nevertheless, the table also identifies various groups which will receive individual benefits through training and capacity-building in different areas.

Strengthened first response capacity to geological and climate-related threats in vulnerable marginal neighbourhoods and organized structures in the canton of Guayaquil, Ecuador

Specific Objective - More detailed description Max 3800

The specific project objective is aimed at strengthening a set of capacities that are directly related to different factors of vulnerability that were identified as critical during the initial assessment process. In this sense, as explained below, each of the four proposed results is focused on a different factor of vulnerability (although they each also affect other factors); that is, organizational (result 1), political-institutional (result 2), educational-cultural (result 3) and physical (result 4). It is hoped that by achieving the four desired results or outcomes, the project will build capacities with regard to each of the vulnerability factors, and therefore significantly reduce the overall vulnerability of the selected neighbourhoods, and therefore their levels of risk. Ultimately, beyond the scope of the project itself, this initiative will contribute to reducing the loss of human lives, material damages and the socio-economic costs of geological and hydro-meteorological hazards in the vulnerable areas of the city of Guayquil, as indicated in the project’s Principal Objective.

R1.2 Activities - Detailed description Max 3800

This activity consists of preparing a VCA for each of the neighbourhoods in which a Risk Management Committee has been created. The first step in preparing the VCA is providing training in an intensive one-week workshop for a group of facilitators, which will include municipal officials (DASE), local NGOs, members of the SPGR, etc. Then, these facilitators will lead, together with the Committees, the assessment process which will take place in four stages and will take approximately 2-3 months, depending on how available people are, and the process concludes with the production of the Neighbourhood Risk Management Plan, which includes neighbourhood risk maps. The process will have the participation and representation of those groups most vulnerable to disasters, and the methodology used will be the one proposed by the International Red Cross Federation, incorporating the latest lessons learned and adjustments made for urban contexts. The information resulting from the VCA will be an essential input for the subsequent creation of the Neighbourhood Risk Maps. This activity will take place between June and September 2013, simultaneously with the creation of the Risk Management Committees.

The municipality, in its social initiatives, through the DASE, has divided the neighbourhoods into what they call social development areas, and each of these areas has a Strategic Neighbourhood Development Plan, designed in a participatory fashion with the leaders and management committees of each neighbourhood, together with their cooperatives, sectors, stages, etc. Currently, these plans do not include any risk assessments and do not identify problems nor solutions related to risk reduction. For this reason, the goal of this activity is to facilitate and incorporate in a cross-cutting manner, the results and products of the project in comprehensive, medium and long-term development processes in each neighbourhood. This activity will be carried out toward the end of the project between April and July 2014, since it will make use of the products and inputs generated by the project, such as studies, maps, assessments, Risk management Plans, etc.

R1.6 Activities - Detailed description Max 3800

The main objective of this activity is to implement some mechanisms to monitor the main threats (floods, landslides and fires) in the micro-context of each neighbourhood, with the involvement, leadership and participation of the neighbourhood committees and their brigades, and which at the same time is linked with the municipal level through the Corporation for Public Safety of Guayaquil (CSCG) and the technical working groups of the Incident Command System (ICS). The warning system or mechanism will be determined based on the information and results of the assessments, technical studies and risk maps, and will be done with the direct participation of specialized technicians from the SNGR, INAMHI, the Municipality, CSCG and other institutions with experience and responsibilities in the field. As a pilot experience, taking advantage of the means and capacities installed at the municipal level, in addition to equipment like manual rain meters and radios, the project will introduce technological media like surveillance cameras and electronic sirens, in at least one of the neighbourhoods, to link the EWS with the situation and monitoring room of the CSCG, which has a camera circuit and qualified personnel; but first an analysis will be done of the social and technical viability of this mechanism. This activity will be carried out between January and June 2014, since it depends on the prior organization and assessments done in each neighbourhood; an additional factor is that during the rainy period, people will be more motivated to engage in monitoring and warning activities.

and the other in Nueva Prosperina. The municipal CSCG and ICS will be involved in these drills. Once the drills are concluded, a report will be prepared, with recommendations for changes to be made to the protocols and the warning mechanisms. The scope and details of the simulation will be defined based on the analysis and information gathered during the life of the project. For the organizational and methodological part, an organizing commission will be formed, with the participation of the main institutions and organizations of the technical working groups of the ICS and from the neighbourhoods. The preparation of the drills will take place between July and September 2014, with the exact dates to be defined later.

Exchange urban experiences with other cities of EcuadorStart Date

End Date

R1.9 Activities - Detailed description Max 3800

The objective of this activity is to empower and strengthen the key actors at the neighbourhood and municipal level, by exposing them to experiences that have take place in other urban contexts, which can be replicated and adapted to the realities of Guayaquil, while at the same time sharing and transferring the lessons learned and progress made in Guayaquil. This will be done at two different times. One will be near the midpoint of the project, once the neighbourhood risk management committees are formed, and another towards the end of the project, to coincide with the neighbourhood drills, so that people coming from other cities can participate in said drills. Each exchange is to involve project partners visiting another city, and also hosting visitors from the other city. Initially the project design team had thought of carrying out the exchange with the city of Quito, since it already has experience in the context of DIPECHO, and an agreement has been reached with Plan International to facilitate such an exchange if both proposals are approved. Nevertheless, if other opportunities for exchange arise, they will be analysed and negotiated at that time between the interested parties. The agenda of these events will include exchanges at the local/neighbourhood, municipal and mixed levels, and as part of the process of documenting the experience, a report will be produced and disseminated. This activity will take place at two different moments, once in November 2013, just before the rain season, so it will have a greater impact and people will be motivated, and the second in August 2014.

A number of instruments will be created in the course of the project, such as: the methodology for baseline studies in urban contexts; the multi-level guide for preparedness and response processes; an updated self-construction and basic housing maintenance manual, and the methodology for risk assessments in structures. All of these will be published and shared at different levels, both in physical versions as well as through the opportunities offered by municipal, national and regional workshops during and after the project. The project’s strategy in this area is for the Municipal Government of Guayaquil and national institutions like the SNGR to take the lead and take ownership of the dissemination and transfer of knowledge, not only during the life of the project, but afterwards, as part of the institutionalization process. Most of the publications will be completed during the last two months of the project, in September and October 2014.

R3 More Detailed Description of Result Max 3800

This result is focused on reducing educational and cultural vulnerability; that is, influencing how the residents of the neighbourhoods perceive their risk and act as a result. Here the emphasis is on achieving changes in knowledge, attitudes and practices, with particular emphasis on schools and educational institutions, by carrying out actions that are in accordance with the policies and strategies of the municipality’s Risk Management Department of the Ministry of Education. Key activities for achieving this result are training Risk Management Facilitators in the schools, preparing School Risk Management Action Plans, organizing school drills, labelling evacuation routes and equipment, among others. To raise awareness among the general public, the project will use methods adapted to the urban context, especially involving the use of communication media, like television, radio and cellular telephones. With this result, it is hoped that a high proportion of residents become aware of their risks and implement prevention, mitigation and preparedness within their possibilities and context.

R3.5 Activities - Detailed description Max 3800

In order to optimize resources and achieve greater impact, the DRR awareness-raising and communication efforts aimed at the population will be implemented through a comprehensive action strategy. This strategy will be designed based on the information provided by the baseline and social studies of the neighbourhoods. The initial idea is that the strategy should include tools and products developed in other cities and urban contexts in Latin America similar to that of Guayaquil, and that these be adapted to Guayaquil’s specific context. Some activities that have been considered a priori are: locating informational points (kiosks) in strategic places at the entrance to the neighbourhoods, preparing and reproducing publicity materials (i.e: a telenovela inspired by the one produced in La Paz called “Z”), outreach activities with groups of adolescents and youth through music, art, graffiti, etc. and other ideas that are reflected in the Project Communication and Visibility Strategy attached to this proposal. In designing and implementing the neighbourhood awareness-raising strategy, the project will involve, in addition to public institutions, a variety of key stakeholders like universities, local NGOs and the private sector, to maximize acceptance and impact. These activities will be carried out throughout the life of the project, between July 2013 and September 2014.

November 2014

R4.1 Activities - Detailed description Max 3800

In this activity, technical studies will be carried out on areas of vulnerability in the neighbourhoods which have been previously identified during the initial assessment. Two studies will be conducted:

Updated Geological Study on Cerro El Jordan: In 2005, with funding from the European Commission, in the context of the SUMAR project, a socio-economic and geological study of the El Jordan hill was conducted, given its levels of risk. As a result of this study, five at-risk areas where identified, and some 100 houses located in high-risk zones. Since then, no significant intervention has been done to address the recommendations made at the time. In mid to late 2012, the DASE, in partnership with the Casa Grande University, updated the socio-economic part of the study, but was not able to update the geological part. Given the fact that the the vulnerability conditions have changed significantly, the geological part of this study must be updated, in order to have updated technical information about the risks faced by the community and updated recommendations for action.

Geological Study of the Hill in Nueva Prosperina: For some time, one of the hills in Nueva Prosperina has been suffering a gradual landslide, which is exacerbated with the accumulation of moisture, and has already affected more than 50 homes, most of which have had to be evacuated. Although the municipal DOIT is constantly monitoring the situation, no technical studies have been done to determine the real risk that the landslides will accelerate and affect many more homes, or that a sudden collapse could occur and cause the loss of lives both within the houses and in the school at the foot of the hill. For all these reasons, it is essential to conduct the geological study, which can be used as an instrument for the municipality when making decisions on how to prevent and mitigate the existing risk.

Both studies will take place between July and November 2013.

construction in an urban context produced by the DIPECHO project implemented by UNDP-GOAL in Tegucigalpa (Honduras) within the VII Plan of Action for Central America. The methodology was applied successfully in marginal neighbourhoods in Tegucigalpa with risk conditions similar to those of the Guayaquil neighbourhoods. Once reviewed, adapted and validated, the methodology will be implemented in the analysis of the structures and spaces for public use in the Cerro El Jordan and Nueva Prosperina neighbourhoods. In addition, other similar methodologies will be researched, to compare them and enrich the existing one. This activity will be carried out from July to September 2013.

The process of applying both instruments includes a data gathering phase in the field, where structural, non-structural and functional analyses are conducted by a multi-disciplinary team with at least three people who have training in engineering and social fields. The project will guarantee the participation of technicians and officials from the municipality to be able to guarantee the sustainability of the process and promote its use in other geographic areas. The structures to be visited include, in addition to the schools, churches, parks and recreation areas, health centres, and one the field phase is over, reports will be written that must include recommendations for the short, medium and long-term. The information from the analysis of each space will serve in turn for creating the neighbourhood risk maps, and for decision-making by municipal authorities. These analyses will take place between October 2013 and January 2014.

As part of the efforts of previous years to contribute to DRR, the Municipality of Guayaquil, through its DASE and with the support of other departments, wrote and published a “Low-cost housing self-construction and maintenance manual”, and organized training workshops with the use of audio-visual materials. This manual must now be reviewed and updated to properly incorporate a Risk Management focus, and to enrich it with new content such as mitigation works, naturalistic engineering, and others. The review will be done by a multi-disciplinary team from the different strategic departments of the municipality, such as the DGRC, DOIT, DUAR and DOPM. Once the manual is completed, it will be reproduced and used for the trainings in activity 4.6. This activyt is planned to take place between September and November 2013.

For the first selection, a set of criteria will be established which will also have to be agreed on by all (i.e. benefitting the largest number of people, cost-benefit, urgency, etc.). The actions and construction works selected in the neighbourhoods must undergo a technical viability analysis by the corresponding municipal departments (DOPM, DGRC, etc.). Once the viability analyses are completed, the necessary permits must be issued before the work can begin. This process will take place in January and February 2014.

R4.9 Activities - Detailed description Max 3800

Once the participatory process of selecting the mitigation actions and works by the neighbourhood committees is concluded, and the corresponding viability analyses and permits have been granted by the municipality, these works will be implemented. The project hopes to implement at least 6 different works in at-risk areas, and to do this work will use a mixed system, with the neighbourhood contributing labour and other assistance, and the project and municipality providing technical support and experts. The goal is to do much of the work using naturalistic engineering, given its low cost and ease of maintenance and replication by the residents themselves. Only in cases where naturalistic construction is not possible or viable, will other methods be used. In addition, once the most urgent actions are identified, and if there are not enough resources, the project and its partners will lobby with the private sector and other key stakeholders to be able to complete them within the project. The plan is to implement these works between March and September 2014.

5. Transition (LRRD) and Cross Cutting Issues

5.1 Describe the expected level of sustainability and /or connectedness* Max 3800The main development factors, which affect sustainability, are:

Support policies: The project is being implemented within the framework of the strategies and priorities established at the national level by the SNGR, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Health and at the municipal level, based on the strategic lines of the DGRC and the Municipality of Guayaquil. This alignment and coordination translates into results and activities

Final Version: 20th January 2013 55

Page 56: PART 1 TEMPLATE for e Single form - CARE Ecuador · Web viewVersion 1 March 2010 Version 1 March 2010 Version 3.9 06/03/2012 1 Final Version 20th January 2013 30 Final Version: 20th

Version 3.9 06/03/2012

which are intended to strengthen municipal institutions and policy-making efforts, as is the case of models of operation for neighborhood Risk Management Committees, and at the municipal and provincial level, the development and piloting of study and measurement instruments which can be adopted by other cantons and provinces, and the application and piloting of methodologies and tools developed by the SNGR, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Public Health through their zone and district rapid response teams.

Institutional Capacity: The project includes actions to address weaknesses identified by institutional stakeholders and included in their current priorities and POAs, such as: training in Risk Management for technicians and decision-makers in the Municipal Government of Guayaquil; the training of Risk Management Facilitators for each school; training in the AVC methodology for technicians of the Municipal DASE, the DPGR and NGOs working in the target areas, and technical assistance for municipal engineers and technicians on how to put in place mitigation measures, among other things. In this sense, the project will leave behind teams of people trained in DRR, who as part of their institutional responsibilities, can replicate and continue these efforts in other neighborhoods and with other target groups.

Economic aspects: The Municipal Government of Guayaquil, through its DGRC, has an annual budget, and it has already committed resources from that budget to this proposal, and formally committed to include in its 2014 and 2015 budgets, activities which will provide continuity to and replicate the processes and products resulting from the project in other neighborhoods and zones (see letter of commitment in the annexes). Furthermore, the project will make use of technical risk management tools, which will be valuable inputs for making decisions. Other departments like the DOIT, DUAR and the DOPM can budget funds to implement the recommendations that emerge from the project.

Socio-cultural aspects: The primary objective of Result 1 is to bring about a change in the population’s perception of risk, and so it is hoped that once the project is over, there will be leaders, committees and people at the neighborhood level with the capacity and above all an attitude and culture of prevention, who can carry out DRR efforts. In addition, the neighborhood management committees are a recognized formal structure with direct ties to the municipality, which participate actively in the development of the Strategic Neighborhood Plans, in which the highest priority proejcts and actions are identified.

Technological and environmental aspects: The means, equipment and technology employed by the project will be appropriate for the context, both in how they are used and their cost, so that it is feasible for participating institutions to replace them and replicate them in future projects. The project is also proposing some solutions by way of pilot experiences, like the installation of cameras to monitor events and threats that are connected with the video system of the situation room of the municipal safety corporation. In doing the construction work for the mitigation infrastructure, we are proposing using the naturalistic engineering employed successfully in other DIPECHO projects.

Annex 06_Commitment DGRC_CARE_ECU (Section 5)

5.2 Continuum Strategy (Linking Relief, Rehabilitation and Development)* Max 3800Through the direct connection with the Municipal Government of Guayaquil as the implementing partner, the project will become an additional priority within the municipality’s development programs. In this sense, the Social Action and Education Department (DASE) of the municipality is responsible for facilitating the social development processes of the neighborhoods by formulating Strategic Neighborhood Plans in which the community identifies its problems and priorities and proposes projects and actions to address them. Along these

Final Version: 20th January 2013 56

Page 57: PART 1 TEMPLATE for e Single form - CARE Ecuador · Web viewVersion 1 March 2010 Version 1 March 2010 Version 3.9 06/03/2012 1 Final Version 20th January 2013 30 Final Version: 20th

Version 3.9 06/03/2012

lines, one of the project’s activities within Result 1 includes a review and updating of the Strategic Plans of Bastion Popular, where the Cerro El Jordan and Nueva Prosperina Development Area are located, to integrate DRR into them across the various elements. Through this process of updating the plans, a DRR-based analysis will be conducted, to include products like the neighborhood risk management plans, risk maps and technical studies so that they can become part of the Neighborhood Strategic Plan, as the primary management instrument in the development of the neighborhoods. Also, the model will help to ensure that the Strategic Plans of other neighborhoods are formulated with a DRR approach already included.

A the municipal level, the project will also engage in a similar process of support and technical assistance in formulating the Municipal Risk Management Plan as the main management tool for development with a DRR focus.

5.3 Mainstreaming (e.g. Disaster Risk Reduction, Environmental Impact, Gender, HIV and AIDS, human rights, Protection, others to be specified). In your explanation, point to significant elements introduced under 2.3 and 4.3.2* Max 3800The project will be implemented from a rights-based approach, and for this reason, the results of the logical framework and some indicators explicitly use this term. Under the concept of the “rights-based approach”, the project is including aspects related to gender and equality, participation and the inclusion of the most vulnerable groups, protection and accountability.

In relation to Gender and Equality: At the regional level, CARE and UNFPA have a gender analysis policy and tool (see annex), and commit to ensuring a gender equality approach, including and addressing the different needs, impacts, opportunities and solutions for men and women, in all stages of the project. To do this, as part of the baseline study, a gender analysis will be carried out to distinguish the specific needs, the situation and the contributions of men and women, considering ethnicity, age, socio-economic status and geographic origin, among other aspects. This baseline analysis will help to guide the project’s strategic actions. In addition, all project personnel must comply with a series of policies and a code of conduct in accordance with this approach. Some of the concrete actions will be: collect and record data and information broken down and differentiated by sex and age, integrate indicators into the monitoring and evaluation tolls, which can measure, differentiated impacts on men and women, onsult and take into account the schedules and family responsibilities of men and women before setting times and dates for project activities and hire a gender balanced project team that is trained in gender analysis and tools amongst others.

When using the term most vulnerable groups, we are including children and adolescents, people with disabilities, persons older adults, indigenous nationalities groups and afro-Ecuadorian groups, people living with or affected by HIV-AIDS or groups with diverse sexual preferences and women exposed to natural disaster and anthropogenic risk situations and survivors from Gender Based Violence. In order to guarantee their rights, the project will emphasize the aspects of participation, representation and identification of different needs. In practice, the methodological tools will incorporate differentiated analyses, and the organizational and training events for the neighborhood committees, brigades, vulnerability and capacity assessment, drills and the formulation of risk management plans should include the participation of different groups, who will be personally invited. In the spaces for neighborhood representation, the project will encourage the participation and inclusion of these groups and/or organizations that defend their rights.

With regard to protection, without excluding other aspects, the project will focus on activities related to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and gender-based violence (GBV) in disaster situations. To do this, the project has established a strategic alliance with UNFPA and will hold

trainings and raise awareness using existing tools and methodologies. We will also work very closely with Plan International and Hogar de Cristo, who has been working on the issue of GBV for years in Nueva Prosperina, through women’s groups and schools.

Finally, in relation to Accountability, one of the strategic priorities of CARE in Ecuador and in other countries of the Andean Region, is to ensure that the preparedness and response initiatives are carried out within a context of transparency, both for the beneficiary population and for donors, and therefore the communication, outreach, and awareness-raising efforts of the project will include key messages in this respect, and participatory mechanisms will be developed so that the voice and concerns of all groups can be taken into account.

6. Field Coordination6.1 Field Coordination Max 3800

Coordination with other key non-governmental stakeholders has been established both at the national and local levels.At the national level, contacts have been established and meetings held with the other two proposals which will be submitted in response to the DIPECHO invitation for urban contexts, namely the Quito proposal presented by a consortium of Plan International –UNICEF – CRIC, and the Cuenca proposal, to be submitted by the Spanish Red Cross together with the Ecuadorian Red Cross. As a result of these conversations, some complementary activities were identified, such as an ongoing exchange of lessons learned and visits to neighborhoods in different cities by municipal decision-makers. Furthermore, this proposal will implement some activities inspired by those carried out in Quito as part of DIPECHO VII, like the Naturalistic Engineering works. As a result of these contacts with Plan International, a letter of intent has been signed to ensure collaboration should both proposals be approved.At the local / canton level, meetings were held with the main organizations present in the selected neighborhoods, such as the Plan International Guayas Office, which in recent years, along with Hogar de Cristo, has been working primarily in Nueva Prosperina on projects dealing with access to credit and gender-based violence, mainly through organized groups of women. During the initial meetings, areas of collaboration were identified and both organizations expressed their interested in strengthening the technical capacity of their technical field staff in risk management, preparedness and response.The coordination with grassroots neighborhood structures and organizations, as explained in detail in sections 2 and 3 of this document, was done directly with the support of the DASE of the Municipality of Guayaquil.

with the National Risk Management Secretariat (SNGR) to share with them the strategic lines of the project and the target areas, and they were very positive regarding an intervention in marginal neighborhoods of Guayaquil, since no one has previously worked on preparedness at the neighborhood level, and they believe that this type of work is necessary and complements its presence through the Provincial Secretariat in other cantons of Guayas Province. The concept note was presented formally to the SNGR, and finally its cooperation department granted its support to the project.

Contacts were also made with the Risk Management Department of the Ministry of Education, and we explained to them the project’s lines of work, and more specifically the activities involved in result 3 related to schools. The ministry confirmed that the proposed actions were in line with the new strategic approach and reorganization of the educational system, and it offered its verbal support to the proposal, claiming that a formal written expression of support was not necessary.

Contacts were also made with the Risk Management Department of the Ministry of Public Health (MSP) with whom UNFPA has been working in the positioning of the SSR in Emergencies at national and local level (Emergency and disaster rapid response teams of the 24 provinces) and verified that the proposal was in line with the strategic proposal and restructuring of the MSP. The proposal has their verbal support and the Vice Ministry of Governance is ready for a formal written expression of support.

At the Provincial level, the project design team coordinated with the Provincial Risk Management Secretariat and identified various synergies and complementary points between the project activities and the work that they do, they also gave their full support to the project, and expressed their willingness to collaborate should it be approved (see the meeting minutes and agreements in the annexes).

At the canton/ municipal level, there has been direct coordination and communication with the Municipal Government of Guayaquil, through its Risk Management and Cooperation Department, which has acted as the facilitator with other municipal entities. Here it is important to mention, in addition to the departments mentioned earlier, the role of the Municipal Public Safety Corporation, with whom the project team maintained constant contact with during the assessment process. During the initial stages of the assessment, the Mayor of Guayaquil sent an internal memorandum asking for all of the strategic departments to participate in the process, because it was considered a priority initiative, and he also signed a letter of support and commitment.

In all of the contacts mentioned above, the various stakeholders indicated that they were pleased to have an initiative of this type in Guayaquil, and recognized the need to work in the most vulnerable marginal neighborhoods of the city, so that the experience can also be replicated and shared with other cities and urban contexts.

proposal for the canton of Guayaquil with the ECHO office in Ecuador. At the end of 2012, an initial meeting was held with ECHO representatives and persons responsible for the DIPECHO program, in which we shared details of our strategy and approach, and received positive feedback regarding the area we had selected.

Later, in early January, 2013, at a much more advanced stage of the initial assessment, CARE Ecuador and the Risk Management Department of the Municipal Government of Guayaquil as its main partner, organized a second meeting, where we presented the general outline of the strategy, received feedback and technical recommendations, which were considered and included in this proposal to the extent possible.

7. Implementing Partners 7.1 Name and address of implementing partner(s) Max 2000 CARE Ecuador

7.2 Status of implementing partner (e.g. NGO, local authorities, etc.) and their role Max 2000

CARE Netherlands, as the Partner Member of CARE International, and the CARE country office in Ecuador, agreed to respond the DIPECHO VIII call, in order to join experiences, resources and relationships in order to achieve greater impacts and results.

For the implementation, CARE Ecuador, in direct partnership with the Municipal Government of Guayaquil, are the direct implementers of the project’s actions, and jointly assume responsibilities related to funding, strategies and operations. For the execution of certain components, and to contribute to the strengthening of the Decentralized Risk Management System, the project has also established strategic alliance with other institutions, like the Risk Management Department of the Ministry of Education and its Zone 8 delegation, the Provincial Risk Management Secretariat of Guayas, UNFPA, the Casa Grande de Guayaquil University, Plan International and Hogar de Cristo, among others.

The strategic relationship with the Municipal Government of Guayaquil will be administered through the Risk Management and Cooperation Department, who will be part of the Project Steering Committee, and will act as facilitators and coordinators with all of the other departments who will also offer technical and operational support for the different project components. Departments like the DOIT, DUAR, DASE and DOPM will have a leading role in many of the project’s activities.

CARE Ecuador will have a technical –strategic team to implement the project, the main role of which is to ensure the quality of the process and to act as facilitator to coordinate, accompany and provide technical and strategic assistance to the abovementioned departments and offices of the municipality and its strategic allies.

8.2 Security Considerations* 8.2.1 Security situation in the field, describe briefly * Max 2000

The security situation in the neighbourhoods where the project activities will take place is typical of a large city with marginal areas where living conditions are precarious and crime rates are high in comparison with other neighborhoods in the city. While there are organized criminal groups, there are no territorial dynamics such as gang control of particular areas or gang wars. In principle, the organized structures are respected, and the organizations that work in the area are well identified and coordinate their presence with the management committees, neighbourhood committees and other recognized leaders. In Nueva Prosperina, there is a police station and in Cerro El Jordan, there is also nearby police presence. When the municipality organizes a public activity or project, it often asks for support, especially of a preventive nature, since the presence of known institutions and organizations is respected. Nevertheless, the residents are always at risk of crime or security incidents, and therefore it is not recommended to organize activities outside or certain times or at night.In general terms, we can say that the safety conditions a priori are good enough to implement the activities called for in the project, however preventive measures must be taken as mentioned below.

8.2.2 Has a specific security protocol for this action been established? *

Yes No Standard ProceduresIf yes please elaborate * Max 2000CARE has standard security procedures to maintain its people safe: situational awareness, safety and prevention in the use of vehicles, public transportation and on foot, both in the offices as well as employees’ homes, and taking preventive measures on work trips. As part of these procedures, safety conditions throughout the country are constantly reviewed and evaluated, along with their possible effect on staff and work places.

In addition, in this case, during the first month, a specific assessment of security risks would be carried out locally, to clearly identify specific threats and the prevention and protection measures most appropriate to the context. This analysis will be carried out with the participation of the representatives of the Municipal Government of Guayaquil, the management committees of Bastion Popular and Nueva Prosperina, and other key actors who know the local context, like Plan International and Hogar de Cristo. Once the security risks have been identified, together the most appropriate protection and safety measures will be agreed upon, which will be included in a special protocol for the implementation of the project.

8.2.3 Are field staff and expatriates informed of and trained in these procedures? *

9. Communication, Visibility and Information Activities*

9.1 Planned communication activities (in field and /or in Europe) Max 3800

The communication strategy is based on disseminating information about the activities carried out by CARE and the Municipality of Guayaquil within the framework of the DIPECHO VIII project, using various channels of information to educate, raise awareness and orient the community and the decision-makers around isues related to risk management. The communication and outreach activities will be carried out throughout the 18 months of the project.

The communication plan will encourage project participants to develop creative messages, from the beginning. The project team will help create thee capacity among young people in areas related to the use of play-based and artistic strategies. Educational campaigns will be carried out to inform people about the meanings of emergency signs, evacuation procedures, the activation of alarms and other issues that will be addressed through music, plastic arts, graffiti, etc.

The educational materials, brochures, newsletters, reports or other informational documents will have a focus on gender, rights and responsibilities. They will be targeted to the residents of urban areas and will be shared with different organizations involved in DIPECHO projects.

In schools, the emphasis of the communicational tools will be on making them fun and using a language appropriate for young students, and on having the entire educational community (children, adolescents, teachers, parents) take part.

The communication will help to develop the affective, cognitive and social areas of the participants in the process, encouraging them to have a positive, constructive, creative attitude, with freedom of expression allowing them to think, act, feel, share and of course to life better, safer, and better prepared to face risks.

The project will work hard on early warning systems based on the use of situation rooms, warning and prevention centres, radios, monitors established by the Municipality of Guayaquil as part of its day-to-day work, establishing continual, effective communication.

The project will also carry out training and awareness-raising activities related to risk management focused on social communicators. These efforts will make use of community media, and the organization of concerts, theatre and printed support materials, among others.

One important aspect is to establish platforms of stakeholders who participate actively and commit to the implementation and sustainability of the communication plans, including neighbourhood youth organizations, NGOs, neighbourhood risk management committees, the

Municipality, the National and Provincial Risk Management Secretariats, among others.

The entire process of the project will be documented through printed documents, audio-visual materials (videos) and a series of photos. The project team will also produce a set of best practices in risk management, in order to use them later on in training and capacity-building efforts to improve the resilience of the Canton of Guayaquil, to make it a resilient city in terms of risk management. The knowledge management and lessons learned component will also help to generate replicable models to be disseminated in other urban contexts along the Ecuadorian coast.

During the life of the project, emphasis will be placed on the participatory use of the radio to raise awareness and educate citizens on how to identify, asses and respond to risks in a neighbourhood and household context. In this sense, the project will use new information and communication technologies, encouraging young people to play a leading role in radio broadcasts, and in creating linkages with social networks and text messages where experiences can be exchanged at the local, national, regional and global level.

Annex 10_Communication & visibility_Plan_CARE_ECU_Sectión 9

9.2 Visibility on durable equipment, major supplies, and at project locations* Max 3000

In this project, one goal of any outreach and promotion effort will always be to properly identify the means and resources involved in the project, giving credit and space to the primary donor as well as the implementing partners (those listed in section 7), and other stakeholders who participate and contribute significantly in different project initiatives. In this sense, there will be a general visual scheme which will include, at least, the project title and code, and the logos of the Directorate General for Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection, CARE, the Municipal Government of Guayaquil and the SNGR, and another visual element specific to the type of event and activity, which will give space to other actors involved, like the Ministry of Education, UNFPA, etc.

The main promotional materials used for visibility purposes will be:

- Proper identification of project personnel (t-shirts, hats, vests)- Vertical portable banners (for workshops, forums, community events, etc.)- External signs at strategic sites in the project area- Distinctive stickers to be placed on vehicles and logistical elements- External identification of donated equipment and materials- Distinctive durable plaques/signs at significant physical works

More details on visibility are provided in the attached Communication and Visibility Plan.
