Stocktaking of Disaster Resilient Housing in Odisha
The housing component of Odisha Disaster Recovery Project (ODRP) was created to restore and improve housing and public services in the districts of Ganjam, Khordha and Puri for communities whose houses were destroyed by cyclone Phailin, and subsequent flooding due to torrential rains.
Post Phalin Cyclone, Odisha Disaster Recovery Project (ODRP), was aimed to assist Phailin-affected communities of Ganjam, Puri and Khorda districts to reduce their vulnerability through the construction of pucca houses with disaster resilient features. The stocktaking exercise focused on community participation and vulnerabilities during the ODRP project and it's long term resilience. Methods like participatory research, social network analysis was used to understand the role of communities in designing and implementation of resilient housing, and ways in which the gap could have been better addressed to inform future program designs.
The outcomes of the exercise was communicated both in terms of a report, and a comic.
