EXTREME EVENTS: The DRC experiences periodic droughts in the south and seasonal flooding in the East. These events are directly related to the abundance (or lack) of precipitation. TABLE 3 ACTIVITY RISK MANAGEMENT SUMMARY Defined or Anticipated project elements area of focus, or etc. Illustrative Interventions Climate Risks List key risks related to the interventions identified in the screening and additional assessment. Risk Rating High How Risks are Addressed Describe how risks have been addressed in activity design and/or additional steps that will be taken in implementation. If you chose to accept the risk, briefly explain why. Recommendations of how Risks could be addressed or further Analysis to be conducted in activity’s design/implementation Describe how risks will be addresses in Activity design or implementation further considerations to be conducted at the activity level, if needs Recommended opportunities to strengthen climate resilience. Describe any potentially positive climate change impacts related to the project area of focus or any opportunities to achieve multiple development objectives by integrating climate resilience measures IR 4 Youth Receive Cash Transfers for Improved Socioeconomic Wellbeing Evaluation of HGA Extreme precipitation and flooding result in researchers being unable to reach areas of intervention.

XXX This is a supplement to the “Instructions for environmental review of XXX Program/Project activities.” It is to be used for natural resources-based activities, including: Community-Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) Ecotourism Natural resources-based enterprise development with micro- and small enterprises This supplement provides additional questions to ascertain whether these proposed activities should be categorized as “very low risk:” If the answers to ALL the questions that follow are “NO,” then the proposed natural activity is considered “very low risk.” If the answer to ANY question is “YES,” the activity CANNOT be considered “very low risk.” Will the activities… YES NO Natural Resources Accelerate erosion by water or wind? Reduce soil fertility and/or permeability? Alter existing stream flow, reduce seasonal availability of water resources? Potentially contaminate surface water and groundwater supplies? Involve the extraction of renewable natural resources? Lead to unsustainable use of renewable natural resources such as forest products? Involve the extraction of non-renewable natural resources? Restrict customary access to natural resources? Reduce local air quality through generating dust, burning of wastes or using fossil fuels and other materials in improperly ventilated areas? Affect dry-season grazing areas and/or lead to restricted access to a common resource? Lead to unsustainable or unnecessarily high water extraction and/or wasteful use? Ecosystems and Biodiversity Drain wetlands, or be sited on floodplains? Harvest wetland plant materials or utilize sediments of bodies of water? Lead to the clearing of forestlands for agriculture, the over-harvesting of valuable forest species? Promote in-forest bee keeping?
