Based on the project's context and BCFHD's experience, some risks in relation to increase in the number of returnees who are in needs for cash assistance for rehabilitation and in relation to receiving the first payment of the cash assistance without achieving the required portion of rehabilitation have been expected and procedures to mitigate determined as indicated in the Assumptions and Risks tab.
Being an active partner of Shelter/NFIs and other clusters, carrying out several projects in the targeted districts in various sectors, and having experienced staff, including civil engineers BCFHD can implement the project activities successfully.
