Adaptation Action Plan title: Domestic hygiene and sanitation program for citizens affected

by floods that produce contaminated environments such as leptospirosis and dengue: A

pilot program for Barranquilla, Colombia.

2. IMPLEMENTATION DESIGN

a. Stakeholder Assessment
Stakeholders Readiness Construct / Interpretation and
Dimension & Score Implication for Design
Implementers
-Staff of the secretary of health Motivation: 8 In general, implementers are
and social management immersed in the field, either to
Risk management office their professional profile or
-Doctors because of their functions in
-Epidemiologists the organization of which they
-Biologists are part, so the motivation
-Microbiologists remains present.
Trainees will be encouraged to
replicate the information to
other members of the
community, so that recipients
can become implementers on a
smaller scale.
General Capacity: 6 In organizations there can
often be bureaucracy and
institutional weakness,
especially in the public sector,
which makes it difficult to
develop the program. In
addition, implementers must
have the tools and spaces to
facilitate the pedagogical
process.
Adaptation-Specific Capacity: The capacity, knowledge and
9 skills acquired in the
professional life and
experience of the implementers
are high, so it is expected that
they will not have major
difficulties in imparting the
training to the community.
Recipients
Vulnerable population: Community Knowledge of It is very likely that people do
- Low income Issue: 2 not have much knowledge
- Living in high-risk areas about the risks to which they
- People who have high can be exposed, much less
exposure jobs about why these phenomena
- Those who do not have occur and their consequences,
access to drinking water and / this due to a lack of
or natural gas. information or a close
experience.
It is important that
implementers use appropriate
vocabulary and use teaching
tools according to the audience
to make the knowledge
understandable.
Community Climate / The score is relatively low
Priorities: 4 because although knowledge is
vague, the community in
general knows a little about the
subject, especially about
diseases (dengue and
leptospirosis), but they do not
associate their relationship
with floods. This provides a
great opportunity to fill this
gap in knowledge and to make
the population aware of
hygiene and sanitation
practices.
Leadership: 6 It is assumed that there is a
leadership above the average
since the motivation on the
part of the community is,
especially to improve their
quality of life, therefore it is
expected that especially the
community leaders will be the
first to participate in the
program so that they can
become future implementers.
Community Knowledge of Although there have been
Efforts: 3 campaigns to raise awareness
among the population, it is
very likely that they do not
reach the most vulnerable
populations in the city, so there
is little planning of new
initiatives.
It could be a key moment to
empower peripheral and high-
 risk communities to learn to
adapt to the adversities they
present and to teach how to
organize to create other
initiatives.
Resources for efforts: 4 Given the above, the
community is moderately
aware of the issue indicating a
pre-planning phase.
Resources are scarce and it is
necessary to rely heavily on
the public sector to obtain
financing or with a national or
international organization.
