Abstract: It is evident that the poor, especially women and children are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change because of their limited adaptive capacity. In such circumstances, BRAC Disaster, Environment and Climate Change (DECC) programme has been providing interventions (capacity building training and/or grant) on alternative livelihood options so that poverty stricken women affected by disaster can adapt to the changing environment. This study has been undertaken to understand the process of main activities, specifically whether these activities are being implemented as planned in order to motivate the target women for income generation and to make them less vulnerable to the challenging environment.
