Publication Year: 2021

Abstract:
The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) can strengthen the ability of rural communities to prepare for, cope with, and recover from climate shocks like floods and droughts. Integrating weather and climate information into planning can help MGNREGS to make more climate-smart decisions tailored to specific needs and specific locations, and be based on real-time monitoring. Successfully piloted in 18 village panchayats of Niwali Block in Badwani, Madhya Pradesh, the CRISP-M tool shows the value of combining scientific climate risk information, methods, practices and technology, with community level planning process, traditional knowledge, practices and skills of communities. The next step is for the tool to be scaled up across seven states in India.
